“…Research on ADHD can also be used to point to the importance of understanding the child as a person developing in a certain context. For instance, family economy is a significant predictor of mental health problems (Bøe, Øverland, Lundervold, & Hysing, 2011). Furthermore, the aetiology of ADHD can be understood in context of socio-economic status, with parent attachment and/or family conflict as the mediating factor (Bøe et al, 2014; Russell, Ford, Rosenberg, & Kelly, 2013).…”

ADHD can be considered an internationally recognized framework for understanding children’s restlessness. In this context, children’s restlessness is understood as a symptom of neurodevelopmental disorder. However, there are other possible understandings of children’s restlessness. In this article, we explore four boys’ collaborative and creative process as it is described and understood by three adults. The process is framed by a community music therapy project in a Norwegian kindergarten, and we describe four interrelated phases of this process: Exploring musical vitality and cooperation, Consolidating positions, Performing together, and Discovering ripple effects. We discuss these results in relation to seven qualities central to a community music therapy approach: participation, resource orientation, ecology, performance, activism, reflexivity and ethics. We argue that in contrast to a diagnostic approach that entails a focus on individual problems, a community music therapy approach can shed light on adult and systemic contributions to children’s restlessness.

“…A summary of the results for externalizing symptomatology is presented in Table 6.2 (ADHD) and Bøe et al, 2012; National Center for Health Statistics, 2012), we observed the effect only for educational attainment. Where tests of causality were possible (only true for the WSTR), results partially supported our research hypothesis that this relation is mediated by between-family factors.…”

“…We summarize the extant research in detail in Chapter 1, but several highlights are noteworthy. First, the link between compositional and contextual SES and mental health is broad and spans many facets of mental well-being, including internalizing (Ansseau et al, 2007;Bøe et al, 2012;Gilman et al, 2002;Goodman, 1999;Green & Benzeval, 2013;Lemstra et al, 2008b;Lorant et al, 2003;Muramatsu, 2003;South & Krueger, 2011;Tambs et al, 2012;Zimmerman & Katon, 2005), neuroticism (Jonassaint et al, 2011;South & Krueger, 2011), externalizing (Amone-P' Olak et al, 2009;Bøe et al, 2012;Hsieh & Pugh, 1993;Huisman et al, 2010;National Center for Health Statistics, 2012), and serious mental illness and personality pathology (Hudson, 2005;Walsh et al, 2012). Second, this relationship appears to strengthen with age (Miech & Shanahan, 2000).…”

“…In children (Bøe, Øverland, Lundervold, & Hysing, 2012;Gilman, Kawachi, Fitzmaurice, & Buka, 2002), adolescents (Goodman, 1999;Lemstra et al, 2008b), and adults (Ansseau et al, 2007;Green & Benzeval, 2013;Lorant et al, 2003;Zimmerman & Katon, 2005), lower SES is associated with increased risk for depression or depressive symptoms and suicide, and this relationship strengthens with age (Miech & Shanahan, 2000). Socioeconomic status also accounts for a large proportion of the disease burden for depression (26-40% depending on the SES indicator) among adolescents (Goodman, Slap, & Huang, 2003).…”

“…Socioeconomic factors (particularly parental education) are also implicated in externalizing problems in adolescents (Amone-P' Olak et al, 2009;Bøe et al, 2012;Huisman et al, 2010), including aggression (Amone-P'Olak et al, 2009), delinquency or misconduct (Amone-P' Olak et al, 2009;Bøe et al, 2012), and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (Amone-P' Olak et al, 2009;Bøe et al, 2012; National Center for Health Statistics, 2012). There is also evidence that lower SES impedes the gradual increase in mental health that occurs during mid-to later adulthood (Williams, Cunich, & Byles, 2013).…”

IMPORTANCE Concussion may exacerbate existing mental health issues. Little evidence exists on whether concussion is associated with the onset of new psychopathologies or long-term mental health problems. OBJECTIVE To investigate associations between concussion and risk of subsequent mental health issues, psychiatric hospitalizations, self-harm, or suicides. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis population-based retrospective cohort study including children and youths aged 5 to 18 years with a concussion or orthopedic injury incurred between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2020, in Ontario, Canada. Participants had no previous mental health visit in the year before the index event for cohort entry and no prior concussion or traumatic brain injury 5 years before the index visit. Data were collected from provincewide health administrative databases. Participants with concussion were included in the exposed cohort, and those with an orthopedic injury were included in the comparison cohort; these groups were matched 1:2, respectively, on age and sex. EXPOSURES Concussion or orthopedic injury. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe primary outcome was mental health problems, such as psychopathologies and psychiatric disorders, identified from health care visits in emergency departments, hospitalizations, or primary care settings. Secondary outcomes were psychiatric hospitalizations, self-harm health care visits, and death by suicide (identified in health care or vital statistics databases). RESULTSA total of 152 321 children and youths with concussion (median [IQR] age, 13 [10-16] years; 86 423 [56.7%] male) and 296 482 children and youths with orthopedic injury (median [IQR] age, 13 [10-16] years; 171 563 [57.9%] male) were matched by age and sex. The incidence rates of any mental health problem were 11 141 per 100 000 person-years (exposed group) and 7960 per 100 000 person-years (unexposed group); with a difference of 3181 (95% CI, 3073-3291) per 100 000 person-years. The exposed group had an increased risk of developing a mental health issue (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.37-1.40), self-harm (aHR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.42-1.56), and psychiatric hospitalization (aHR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.41-1.53) after a concussion. There was no statistically significant difference in death by suicide between exposed and unexposed groups (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 0.90-2.61).CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among children and youths aged 5 to 18 years, concussion was associated with an increased risk of mental health issues, psychiatric hospitalization, and self-harm compared with children and youths with an orthopedic injury.
