Basic Psychopathology and DiagnosisClass 4 (March 27, 2014) Funto Oluwafemi, PsyD

Specific Learning Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria • A- Difficulties learning and using academic skills, as indicated by the presence of at least one of the following symptoms that have persisted for at least 6 months, despite the provision of interventions that target those difficulties: • Inaccurate or slow and effortful word reading • Difficulty understanding the meaning of what is read • Difficulties with spelling • Difficulties with written expression • Difficulties with mastering number sense, number facts, or calculation • Difficulties with mathematical reasoning • B- The affected academic skills are substantially and quantifiably below those expected for the individual’s chronological age, and cause significant interference with academic or occupational performance, or with activities of daily living (confirmed by individually administered standardized achievement measures and comprehensive clinical assessment.) (APA, 2013, pg. 66)

Specific Learning Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria Contd. • C- The learning difficulties begin during school-age years but may not be fully manifest until the demands for those affected academic skills exceed the individual’s limited capacities. • D- Not better accounted for by intellectual disabilities, uncorrected visual and auditory acuity, other mental or neurological disorders, psychosocial adversity, lack of proficiency in the language of academic instruction, or inadequate education instruction. • The criteria are to be met based on a clinical synthesis of the individual’s history (developmental, medical, family, educational), school reports, and psychoeducational assessment. • When coding, all academic domains and subskills that are impaired must be specified. Each one must be coded individually. • 315.00 (F81.0) With impairment in reading: (Dyslexia) • Word reading accuracy • Reading rate fluency • Reading comprehension • 315.2 (F81.1) With impairment in written expression: • Spelling accuracy • Grammar and punctuation accuracy • Clarity or organization of written expression • 315.1 (F81.2) With impairment in mathematics: (Dyscalculia) • Number sense • Memorization of arithmetic facts • Accurate or fluent calculation • Accurate math reasoning (APA, 2013, pg. 67)

Specific Learning Disorder • Specify current severity: • Mild: some difficulties in one or two academic domains, but mild enough that the individual may be able to compensate or function well when provided with appropriate accommodations or support services, especially during the school years. • Moderate: marked difficulties in one or two academic domains, so that the individual is unlikely to become proficient without some intervals of intensive and specialized teaching during the school years. • Severe: affecting several academic domains, so that the individual is unlikely to learn those skills without ongoing intensive and specialized teaching for most of the school years. Even with an array of appropriate accommodations or services at home, at school, or in the workplace, the individual may not be able to complete all activities efficiently. (APA, 2013, pg. 68)

Specific Learning Disorder • Has a biological origin that is the basis for abnormalities at a cognitive level that are associated with the behavioral signs of the disorder. • Affects the brain’s ability to perceive and process verbal or nonverbal information efficiently and accurately. • Prevalence is 5%-15% among school-age children across different language and cultures. • Prevalence in adults is unknown, but appears to be approximately 4%. • Onset, recognition, and diagnosis usually occurs during the elementary school years. • Lifelong but course and clinical presentation is variable. • Changes in manifestation of symptoms occurs with age, so an individual may have a persistent or shifting array of difficulties across the lifespan.

Specific Learning Disorder • Risk & Prognostic Factors: • Prematurity or very low birth weight and exposure to nicotine increases risk. • Appears to aggregate in families (reading, mathematics, and spelling). 4-8 times higher risk for reading and 5-10 time higher risk for mathematics in first-degree relatives of individuals with this disorder. • Comorbidity with ADHD is predictive of worse mental health outcome than for that with specific learning disorder without ADHD. • Occurs across languages, cultures, races, and socioeconomic conditions but may vary in its manifestation according to the nature of spoken and written symbol systems, cultural, and educational practices. • More common in males than in females (range from 2:1 to 3:1) • Lower academic attainment, higher rates of school dropout, lower rate of postsecondary education, high levels of psychological distress and poorer overall mental health, higher rates of unemployment and under-employment, lower incomes. • School dropout and co-occurring depressive symptoms increase the risk for poor mental health outcomes (suicidality). High levels of social and emotional support predict better mental health outcomes.

Specific Learning Disorder • Differential Diagnosis: • Normal variations in academic attainment • Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) • Learning difficulties due to neurological or sensory disorders • Neurocognitive disorders • ADHD • Psychotic Disorders • Commonly co-occurs with other neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. communicative disorders, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder). • If there is an indication that another diagnosis could account for the difficulties in criterion A, specific learning disorder should not be diagnosed.

Motor Disorders 315.4 (F82) Developmental Coordination Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria • A- Acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills is substantially below that expected given the individual’s chronological age and opportunity for skill learning and use. Difficulties are manifested as clumsiness • B- The motor skills deficit in (A) significantly and persistently interferes with activities of daily living appropriate to chronological age and impacts academic/social productivity, prevocational and vocational activities, leisure, and play • C- Onset in early developmental period • D- Not better explained by intellectual disability or visual impairment and are not attributable to a neurological condition affecting movement. (APA, 2013, pg. 74)

Motor Disorders Developmental Coordination Disorder • Prevalence in children 5-11 years is 5%-6% • Males are more often affected than females. (Ratio between 2:1 and 7:1). • Risk and Prognostic Factors: • More common following prenatal exposure to alcohol and in preterm and low-birth-weight children. • Individuals with comorbid ADHD demonstrate more impairment than those who do not have comorbid ADHD. • Occurs across cultures, races, and socioeconomic conditions. • Reduced participation in play and sports, poor self-esteem and self-worth, emotional or behavioral problems, impaired academic achievement, poor physical fitness, reduced physical activity, and obesity.

Motor Disorders • Differential Diagnosis • Motor impairments due to another medical condition • Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) • ADHD • Autism spectrum disorder • Joint hypermobility syndrome • Commonly co-occur with: • Speech and language disorder • ADHD • Autism spectrum disorder

Motor Disorders 307.3 (F98.4) Stereotypic Movement Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria • A- Repetitive , seemingly driven, and apparently purposeless motor behavior. • B- Repetitive motor behavior interferes with social, academic, or other activities and may result in self-injury. • C- Onset is in early developmental period. • D- Not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or neurological condition and is not better explained by another neurodevelopmental or mental disorder • Specify if: • With self-injurious behavior (or behavior that would result in an injury if preventive measures were not used). • Without self-injurious behavior (APA, 2013, pg. 77)

Motor Disorders Stereotypic Movement Disorder • Specify if: • Associated with a known medical or genetic condition, neurodevelopmental disorder, or environmental factor. (Use additional code to identify the associated condition, disorder, or factor). • E.g. Stereotypic movement disorder associated with intrauterine alcohol exposure. • Specify current severity: • Mild – symptoms are easily suppressed by sensory stimulus or distraction. • Moderate – symptoms require explicit protective measures and behavioral modification. • Severe – symptoms require explicit protective measures and behavioral measures to prevent serious injury. (APA, 2013, pg. 78)

Motor Disorders Stereotypic Movement Disorder • Common in young typically developing children. • Complex stereotypic movements are much less common. • Typically begin with the first 3 years of life. • In most typically developing children, these movements resolve over time or can be suppressed. • Risk & Prognostic factors: • Social isolation and environmental stress • Lower cognitive functioning linked to greater risk and poorer response to interventions. • Occurs in all races and cultures

Motor Disorders Stereotypic Movement Disorder • Differential Diagnosis • Normal development • Autism spectrum disorder • Tic disorders (later onset) • Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders • Other neurological and medical conditions

Tic Disorders 307.23 (F95.2)Tourette’s Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria • A- Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics have been present at some time during the illness, although not necessary concurrently. • B- The tics may wax and wane in frequency but have persisted for more than 1 year since first tic onset. • C- Onset is before the age of 18 years. • D- Not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g. cocaine) or another medical condition (e.g. Huntington’s disease). (APA, 2013, pg. 81)

Tic Disorders 307.22 (F95.1) Persistent (Chronic) Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder • Diagnostic Criteria • A- Single or multiple motor or vocal tics have been present during the illness, but not both motor and vocal. • B- The tics may wax and wane in frequency but have persisted for more than 1 year since first tic onset. • C- Onset is before the age of 18 years. • D- Not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g. cocaine) or another medical condition (e.g. Huntington’s disease). • E- Criteria have never been met for Tourette’s disorder. • Specify if: • With motor tics only • With vocal tics only (APA, 2013, pg. 81)

(APA, 2013, pg. 81)

Tic Disorders • Common in childhood but transient is most cases. • Estimated prevalence of Tourette’s disorder ranges from 3 to 8 per 1,000 in school-age children. • Males more commonly affected than females (2:1 to 4:1) • Frequency of identified cases was found to be lower among African Americans and Hispanic Americans (may be due to differences in access to care). • Onset typically between 4 and 6 years. • Peak severity between ages 10 and 12 years. • Decline in severity in adolescence. • A small percentage will have persistently severe or worsening symptoms in adulthood. • Manifest similarly in all age groups and across lifespan • Tics wax and wane in severity over time.

Tic Disorders • Risk & Prognostic factors: • Worsened by anxiety, excitement, and exhaustion • Better during calm, focused activities • Observing a gesture or sound in another person may result in making a similar gesture or sound which may be incorrectly perceived by others as purposeful. • Can be problematic when interacting with authority figures. • Obstetrical complications, older paternal age, lower birth weight, maternal smoking during pregnancy • Associated with worse tic severity • Although there are no differences in clinical characteristics, course, or etiology by race, ethnicity, and culture, race, ethnicity and culture may impact how tic disorders are perceived and managed in the family and community and also influence patterns of help seeking, and choices of treatment.

Tic Disorders • Males more commonly affected than females but no gender differences in the kinds of tics, age at onset, or course. • Women with persistent tic disorders may be more likely to experience anxiety and depression. • Many with mild to moderate tic severity experience no distress or impairment in functioning and may not even be aware of their tics. • People with more severe symptoms generally have more impairment in daily living. • Some individual with moderate to severe tic disorders may function well. • Co-occurring condition such as ADHD or OCD • Can lead to social isolation, interpersonal conflict, peer victimization, inability to work or go to school, lower quality of life. • Rare cases of Tourette’s disorder include physical injury and orthopedic and neurological injury

Neurodevelopmental disorder associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. • 307.20 (F95.9) Unspecified Tic Disorder • Symptoms are characteristic of a neurodevelopmental disorder that cause impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the neurodevelopmental disorders diagnostic class. Used when the clinician chooses not to communicate the reason that the criteria are not met or when there is insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis.

Childhood Psychopathology • Many children suffer from the effects of psychopathology. • Not responsible for their own suffering. • Assessment and treatment should focus on the family— the system out of which they have come. • It is critical that the church take a more active role in seeking understanding of the developmental processes of childhood and their impact on the behaviors, thoughts and emotions of children. • Childhood issues need to be a focus of ministry training and parent education. • Disruptive behavior of children may become the criminal behavior of adults. • Suffering is more likely to multiply to family members, succeeding generations and society. • Increase in financial costs for the society (treatment, disability, unemployment, litigation, etc.).

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders • Defined by abnormalities in one or more of these domains: • Delusions – beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence.

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders 293.89 (F06.1) Catatonia Associated With Another Mental Disorder (Catatonia Specifier) • Diagnostic Criteria • A- The clinical picture is dominated by 3 (or more) of the following symptoms • Stupor (i.e., no psychomotor activity; not actively relating to environment) • Cataplexy (i.e., passive induction of a posture held against gravity) • Waxy flexibility (i.e., slight, even resistance to positioning by examiner) • Mutism (i.e., no, or very little, verbal response [exclude if known aphasia]) • Negativism (i.e., opposition or no response to instructions or external stimuli) • Posturing (i.e., spontaneous and active maintenance of a posture against gravity) • Mannerism (i.e., odd, circumstantial caricature of normal actions) • Stereotypy (i.e., repetitive, abnormally frequent, non-goal-directed movements) • Agitation, not influenced by external stimuli • Grimacing • Echolalia (i.e., mimicking another’s speech) • Echopraxia (i.e., mimicking another’s movements) • Indicate the name of the associated mental disorder when recording the name of the condition (e.g. 293.89 [F06.1] Catatonia associated with major depressive disorder). Code the associated mental disorder first. (APA, 2013, pg.119-120)

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders 293.89 (F06.1) Catatonia Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition • Diagnostic Criteria • A- The clinical picture is dominated by 3 (or more) of the following symptoms • Stupor (i.e., no psychomotor activity; not actively relating to environment) • Cataplexy (i.e., passive induction of a posture held against gravity) • Waxy flexibility (i.e., slight, even resistance to positioning by examiner) • Mutism (i.e., no, or very little, verbal response [exclude if known aphasia]) • Negativism (i.e., opposition or no response to instructions or external stimuli) • Posturing (i.e., spontaneous and active maintenance of a posture against gravity) • Mannerism (i.e., odd, circumstantial caricature of normal actions) • Stereotypy (i.e., repetitive, abnormally frequent, non-goal-directed movements) • Agitation, not influenced by external stimuli • Grimacing • Echolalia (i.e., mimicking another’s speech) • Echopraxia (i.e., mimicking another’s movements) • B- There is evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is the direct pathophysiological consequence of another medical condition. • C- The condition is not better explained by another mental disorder • D- The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium • E- The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. • Include the name of the medical condition (e.g., 293.89 [F06.1] Catatonic disorder due to hepatic encephalopathy). The other medical condition should be coded and listed separately immediately before the catatonic disorder due to the medical condition. (APA, 2013, pg.120)

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders Unspecified Catatonia • Category for when symptoms of catatonia cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning but either the nature of the underlying mental disorder or other medical condition is unclear, full criteria for catatonia are not met, or there is insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis • Code first 781.99 (R29.818) other symptoms involving nervous and musculoskeletal systems, followed by 293.89 (F06.1) unspecified catatonia. (APA, 2013, pg.121)

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders • 298.8 (F28) Other Specified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder • Applies to situations in which symptoms characteristic of a schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the diagnostic class. • Used when the clinician chooses to communicate the reason that the presentation does not meet full criteria for any specific disorder in this diagnostic class. • 298.9 (F29) Unspecified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder • Applies to situations in which symptoms characteristic of a schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the diagnostic class. • Used when the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for a specific disorder in this diagnostic class.
