    Area of Science:

    • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
    • Neuroscience
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Psychotic disorders in children and adolescents can manifest with complex symptoms.
    • Hallucinations are a significant symptom that requires further investigation in pediatric populations.
    • Understanding the co-occurring symptoms associated with hallucinations is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare psychotic children and adolescents with and without hallucinations.
    • To identify specific characteristics and associated symptoms in psychotic youth with hallucinations.
    • To explore potential links between hallucinations and mood, cognitive function, and illness precipitants.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study design.
    • Comparison of two groups: 20 psychotic children/adolescents with hallucinations and 15 psychotic controls without hallucinations.

  • Assessment of symptom profiles, including depression, anxiety, reading ability, and speech patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • Auditory hallucinations were predominant in the hallucinating group, often localized internally.
    • Subjects with hallucinations exhibited significantly more symptoms of depression and anxiety.
    • Increased illness precipitants and reading ability problems were noted in those with hallucinations.
    • A trend towards increased laconic speech was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Hallucinations in psychotic children and adolescents are associated with significant mood disturbances (depression, anxiety) and cognitive challenges (reading difficulties).
    • The findings suggest a potential link between the presence of hallucinations and altered mood and cognitive states in pediatric psychosis.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the complex interplay between hallucinations, mood, and cognition in late-onset psychoses of childhood and adolescence.
