Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.
Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Borderline Personality Disorder01:25

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulse control. This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder01:28

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...
Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive01:24

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are two separate psychological conditions that influence behavior, relationships, and overall life functioning. Though both involve maladaptive behaviors, their core characteristics and motivations differ significantly.
 Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others to manage various aspects of life. Individuals with this disorder often struggle with...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Impulsivity in children is linked to internalizing disorders like depression and anxiety, not just aggression. Motor impulsivity, related to inhibition deficits, strongly correlates with these internalizing symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Impulsivity is commonly associated with externalizing disorders.
  • Limited research exists on the relationship between impulsivity and internalizing disorders in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the link between impulsivity and symptoms of depression and anxiety in children.
  • To compare this relationship with impulsivity's association with aggressive behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, Children's Depression Inventory, and Screen for Children's Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders to 562 children (ages 9-13).
  • Utilized a case-control sample from an epidemiological study and collected teacher-reported aggression data.

Main Results:

  • Impulsivity showed significant relationships with anxiety, depression, and aggression.
  • Impulsivity was more strongly related to internalizing symptoms (anxiety, depression) than to aggression.
  • Motor impulsivity correlated highly with anxiety and depression, while cognitive impulsivity showed a negative relationship.

Conclusions:

  • Impulsivity is a relevant factor in understanding childhood depression and anxiety.
  • Clinical consideration of impulsivity is warranted for both externalizing and internalizing disorders in children and adolescents.
