Emotional Behavior Disorder

1. History

An emotional behavior disorder is characterized as consistent bad or disruptive behavior that affects a child's educational performance but has no intellectual cause. These kids are not stupid, and are perfectly capable of learning at their grade level, but they just need a little extra guidance. It is quite difficult to define the term "emotional disturbance" or emotional, as it is a phenomenon that is interrelated with many other disorders, the character, behavior and learning difficulties. In this sense, there is confusion among its causes, effects and effects associated with it (Flick, 2011).

Previously, hyperkinetic disorder associated with prenatal or postnatal damage (minimal brain damage or MMD), revealed a genetic predisposition to this disorder. In monozygotic twins concordance is higher than that of fraternal. 20-30% of the parents or the patients had impaired activity and attention. Innate tendency to hyperactivity is enhanced under the influence of certain social factors, since such behavior is more common in children living in adverse social conditions (Clough, 2005). The parents of patients are more likely than the general population; there are alcoholism, antisocial psychopathy and affective disorders. The alleged cause of disorders associated with food allergies, prolonged intoxication with lead and exposure to food additives, but this hypothesis is not supported by convincing evidence. It revealed a strong link between human activity and attention, and insensitivity to thyroid hormones - a rare condition, which is based on a gene mutation of beta-thyroid hormone receptor.

The disorder occurs more often in boys. The relative prevalence among boys and girls from 3:1 to 9:1, depending on the criteria for diagnosis. Currently, the prevalence among school children from 3 to 20%. In 30-70% of cases of illness syndromes move into adulthood (Kauffman, 2001). Hyperactivity in adolescence with many reduced, even if there are other violations, but at high risk for antisocial psychopathy, alcoholism and drug addiction.

2. Identification

The diagnostic criteria for emotional behavior disorder have changed over the years. Some of the basic source of identifications is discussed below:

Lack of attention

The inability to maintain attention reduced selective attention, inability to concentrate for long on the subject, frequently forgetting what to do, distractibility, irritability. These children are fidgety, restless. More attention is reduced in unusual situations when you need to act independently. Some children cannot even watch the end of your favorite TV shows.

Impulsivity

In a sloppy performance of school work, despite efforts to do them correctly, the frequent outcries from their seats, noisy outbursts in the classroom, "climbing" in the conversation or the work of others; impatience in the queue, the inability to play (because of the frequent fights with children). With age, the manifestations of impulsivity may vary. At an early age it is incontinence, at school, excessive activity and extreme impatience, as a teenager, his tricks, and antisocial behavior (theft, drug use, etc.) (McCarney & Arthaud, 2003). However, the older the child, the more pronounced and noticeable impulsiveness for others.

Hyperactivity
