    Area of Science:

    • Childhood Psychology
    • Developmental Psychiatry
    • Pediatric Neurology

    Background:

    • Psychotic signs in children present a diagnostic challenge.
    • Understanding early-onset psychosis is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Limited research exists on specific subtypes of childhood psychosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a specific syndrome of childhood psychosis.
    • To identify core symptoms and age of onset for this condition.
    • To differentiate this entity from other childhood psychotic disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 47 children treated for psychotic signs over 13 years.
    • Detailed examination of symptom presentation in a subgroup of deteriorated children.
    • Clinical observation and case study approach.

    Main Results:

    • Thirty-five of 47 children showed improvement; 12 children deteriorated.
    • The 12 deteriorated children exhibited four consistent symptoms: regressive motor play, sameness tendency, autistic language, and body image disorder.
    • These symptoms appeared despite varying ages of onset.

    Conclusions:

    • The identified symptom cluster suggests a distinct illness termed 'regressive childhood psychosis'.
    • This condition appears to manifest between the ages of six and 10 years.
    • Further research is warranted to validate this diagnostic category and explore its etiology and treatment.
