Behavioral disorders in children and adolescents diagnostics and treatment
Behavioral disorders in children and adolescents are characterized by disruptive behavior, such as aggression, stubbornness, impulsiveness, a tendency toward conflict, and antisocial behavior. These aren't just mood swings or a bad attitude, but rather signs the child needs medical and psychotherapeutic help.
If not corrected in time, behavioral disorders can lead to problems in school and with peers and adults. In adolescence, they can lead to risky behavior.
The diagnostic examination includes a conversation with the child and their parents, an observation of their behavioral reactions, and psychodiagnostic testing. The specialist will assess the duration and severity of symptoms, the conditions of the child's upbringing, how well the child has adapted to school, and the presence of any concomitant disorders (e.g., anxiety or emotional disorders). It is important to identify risk factors such as an unfavorable family environment, uncontrolled peer influence, past traumatic experiences, and nervous system characteristics. Common manifestations include frequent conflicts with adults and peers, aggressive and destructive behavior, and a tendency to violate rules and prohibitions.
The treatment program is adapted to each patient and includes psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral, family, and group therapy; corrective techniques (development of self-control skills, training in constructive conflict resolution, social interaction training) . It is also important to work with the family through parental counseling and, in cases of severe symptoms and accompanying disorders, pharmacotherapy.
A stable daily routine, family support, forming positive role models, limiting the negative influence of the media and unfavorable social factors can help reduce the risk of developing behavioral disorders. It is important to teach children constructive ways of expressing their emotions, self-control, and communication skills. Regular preventive consultations can help identify changes in a timely manner and prevent complications.
After active treatment, the child will continue to be monitored by a specialist. Supportive psychotherapy sessions, an expansion of social contacts, and support in the school environment are recommended. Developing confidence, forming stable positive behaviors, and reinforcing constructive ways of interacting with others are important parts of rehabilitation.
