Editorial Perspective: COVID-19 pandemic-related psychopathology in children and adolescents with mental illness / O. H. JEFSEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 62-6 (June 2021)

Children and adolescents who already live with a mental illness may be particularly vulnerable to the distress associated with the pandemic - due to, for example, fear of the virus as well as the significant societal changes launched to minimize spread of the virus (social distancing and quarantine). In this editorial perspective, we (a) provide data on COVID-19 pandemic-related psychopathology in children and adolescents from a large psychiatric treatment setting in Denmark, (b) give advice on how the likely harmful effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children and adolescents may be minimized, and (c) propose six lines of research into pandemic-related psychopathology with emphasis on children and adolescents. Finally, we underline the necessity of politicians, health authorities, and funding bodies supporting these research initiatives here and now.

How much impairment is required for ADHD? No evidence of a discrete threshold / T. W. ARILDSKOV in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-2 (February 2022) . - p.229-237 Titre : How much impairment is required for ADHD? No evidence of a discrete threshold Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : T. W. ARILDSKOV, Auteur ; Edmund J. S. SONUGA-BARKE, Auteur ; P. H. THOMSEN, Auteur ; A. VIRRING, Auteur ; S. D. ØSTERGAARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.229-237 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder  continuity  diagnosis  schoolchildren  symptomatology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: A diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires the presence of impairment alongside symptoms above a specific frequency and severity threshold. However, the question of whether that symptom threshold represents anything more than an arbitrary cutoff on a continuum of impairment requires further empirical study. Therefore, we present the first study investigating if the relationship between ADHD symptom severity and functional impairment is nonlinear in a way that suggests a discrete, nonarbitrary symptom level threshold associated with a marked step increase in impairment. METHODS: Parent reports on the ADHD-Rating Scale (ADHD-RS-IV), the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale (WFIRS-P), and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were collected in a general population sample of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders (N?=?1,914-2,044). RESULTS: Piecewise linear regression analyses and nonlinear regression modeling both demonstrated that the relationship between symptom severity (ADHD-RS-IV total score) and impairment (WFIRS-P mean score) was characterized by a gradual linear increase in impairment with higher symptom severity and no apparent step increase or changing rate of increase in impairment at a certain high ADHD-RS-IV total score level. Controlling for socioeconomic status, sex, and co-occurring conduct and emotional symptoms did not alter these results, though comorbid symptoms had a significant effect on impairment. CONCLUSIONS: There was no clear evidence for a discrete, nonarbitrary symptom severity threshold with regard to impairment. The results highlight the continued need to consider both symptoms and impairment in the diagnosis of ADHD.
