This paper discusses pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs), severe early childhood psychic diseases affecting thinking, emotions, and mental functioning. While etiology is unknown and prognosis often poor, therapeutic interventions can significantly aid affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Psychiatry

Context:

  • Pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) are a group of severe early childhood psychic diseases.
  • The etiology of PDDs remains unknown.
  • These disorders significantly impact thinking, emotions, and overall mental functioning.

Purpose:

  • To review the classification and clinical presentation of pervasive developmental disorders.
  • To discuss the diagnostic dilemma concerning distinct nosologic entities versus variations of a single disorder.
  • To describe specific conditions including infantile autism, Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome, and atypical psychosis.

Summary:

  • PDDs encompass a range of severe early childhood psychic conditions with unknown causes.
