Medical and social significance of behavioral disorders in adolescents and their consequences makes the relevance of the study of clinical manifestations and causes the need for early preventive intervention.AimStudying the role of neurophysiological disorders in the formation of behavior disorders in adolescents.Two hundred and two adolescents aged 11–15 years with behavior disorders were observed. The diagnostic methods included electrophysiological, clinical psychopathological and statistical methods.In the structure of behavioral disorders, psychopathological syndromes in adolescents have been identified: psychopathic (n = 106), asthenoneurotic (n = 50), asthenoabulic (n = 26) and anxiety-depressive (n = 20).As a result, it was found that high seizure activity commonly observed in adolescents with anxiety-depressive syndrome (66.67 ± 10.33%); less frequently in adolescents with asthenoneurotic (40.00 ± 6.79%), psychopathic (38.71 ± 4.64%), asthenoabulic (28.57 ± 8.68%) syndromes.At the same time, diffuse changes with dysregulation of the diencephalic-stem structures were observed in the majority of adolescents with psychopathic (61.29 ± 4.64%), asthenoneurotic (60.00 ± 6.79%), asthenoabulic (57.15 ± 9.51%) syndromes and much less frequently in adolescents with anxiety-depressive symptoms (33.33 ± 10.33%).Dystonic rheoencephalography type was observed in a third of adolescents with psychopathic (35.48 ± 4.55%), asthenoneurotic (30.00 ± 6.35%) and anxiety-depressive (33.33 ± 10.33%) syndromes, while the hypertensive rheoencephalography type was prevailed in adolescents with astenoabulic symptoms (14.29 ± 6.73%).Liquor hypertension in adolescents with asthenoneurotic (15.00 ± 4.95%) and psychopathic (9.67 ± 2.81%) syndromes was more common.The statistical analysis indicated that violations of bioelectric properties of the brain with high seizure activity and dysfunction of the low stem structures and disorders of cerebral hemodynamics by dystonic type are risk factors for the formation of behavioral disorders in adolescents.Detection of neurophysiological disorders in adolescents is an informative diagnostic method of early signs of behavioral disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
The situation related to addictive behavior is considered to be quite significant for all countries of the world, Ukraine is no exception. The reason is the key difference between the worldview and thinking stereotypes of recent generations, brought up in different socio-economic conditions, as well as due to the protracted economic, political and social crisis. 76 young men (16-24 years old) were examined. All subjects sought for psychiatric help with complaints of polymorphic symptoms, the most relevant were bad mood, anxiety with panic attacks, body tremor, disturbed sleep, fear, several patients had suicidal thoughts, which were often on the background of gambling and Internet addiction. In all patients there were manifestations of somatic pathology along with mental disturbance. In non-chemical addiction, the implementation of distress is accompanied by a destructive effect and is manifested by a wide range of mental and somatic clinical symptoms. And as a consequence causes disorders in various organs and systems. The data obtained necessitate further clinical studies, and for patients who seek help should be a set of therapeutic and diagnostic measures to improve the mental and physical of their condition.
Keywords: distress, non-chemical addiction, somatization, depression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
