Objectives
To review Developmental Disabilities
To review Pervasive Developmental Disorders (will only review questions, as topic was covered earlier today)
To discuss comorbidity and treatment options

Case
A 12 y old girl is brought to the Emergency by 2 police officers because of suicidal ideation.She is in handcuffs.
She is screaming, bit her mouth, blood is smeared all over her T-shirt, face and hands.
You are paged urgently. Think about what you want to ask, we will come
back to this……

Developmental Disability
Often diagnosed in infancy Mental retardation is the result of a
pathological process in the brain characterized by limitations in intellectual and adaptive function.
Areas of function affected: communication, self-care, independence, functional/academic skills, work, health, leisure, safety (helpful when you try to take a history, as it can guide some of your questions)

DSM-IV-TR
Mental retardation requires intellectual deficits (IQ measured by standardized test) and deficit in adaptive function (use of measure with deficits in at least two areas of deficits, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale: communications, daily living skills, socialization and motor skills)
Manifested before age of 18

Differential Diagnosis - PDD
Various PDDs MR not associated with PDD Specific developmental disorder,
e.g. language Early onset psychosis

Treatment Plan Multimodal Establish goals for educational interventions Establish target symptoms for intervention Prioritize target symptoms and/or co-morbid
conditions Monitor multiple domains of functioning
(behavioral adjustment, adaptive skills, academic skills, social/communicative skills, social interactions)
Monitor pharmacological interventions for efficacy and side-effects.

Issues for MD providing care for individuals with Developmental Disability
Overall live longer now: age related illnesses
Coexisting physical and mental health needs
Severity of functional limitation Quality of the environment Quality of the social support
![Page 53: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Issues cont
Health problems often present differently (11 y old autistic with moderate-severe DD
presented with abscess secondary to perforated appendix)
Less resources for adults with DD Poorer health: î morbidity, earlier mortality Difficulty communicating pain/distress: non-
specific change in behavior may be the only indication of medical illness or injury
![Page 54: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Issues cont
Multiple or long-term use of some medication can cause harm: do review Q3mo: indication, dose, effectiveness, S/E
At Î risk of abuse/neglect: could present with change in wt, non-compliance, aggression, withdrawal, depression, avoidance, poor self-esteem, etc.
Monitor activity level: obesity – Î risk of CV disease, DM, osteoporosis, constipation, early mortality
![Page 55: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Issues cont
Vision/hearing problems: often missed Dental disease: most common health
problem with adults with DD– can present with change in behavior
Cardiac Disease: risk F: inactive, obesity, smoking, long term use of antipsychotics
Resp: aspiration pneumonia: most common cause of death (meds, neuromuscular dysf)
GI/feeding problems: Î risk of helicobacter pylori (GH, rumination, exposure to saliva/feces)
![Page 56: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Issues cont
Sexuality MSK: scoliosis, contractures, spasticity,
decreased mobility/activity Behavior problems: aggression and self-
injury. It may be a symptom of a health related disorder or circumstance, such as lack of support. BEFORE considering a psychiatric diagnosis, R/O physical causes (infection, constipation, pain, environment: change in residence, support; emotional: stress, trauma, grief.. Dementia in older pt.
![Page 57: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Behavior problems
Do a functional analysis of the problematic behavior
Consider decrease or removal of the medications
Before considering pharmacological treatment: address sensory issues, modify the environment, education and skill development, communication aids, psychological and behavior therapy, caregiver support
![Page 58: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
If you use medication to manage behavior:
Use judiciously Start slow, go slow Do NOT use antipsychotics as first
line of treatment for behavior problems without confirmed diagnosis of psychotic disorders
![Page 59: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Potential Targets for Pharmacotherapy
Motor hyperactivity Inattention Repetitive behavior Motor and/or vocal tics Aggression Self-injury

Back to the Case
A 12 y old girl is brought to the Emergency by 2 police officers because of suicidal ideation.She is in handcuffs.
She is screaming, bit her mouth, blood is smeared all over her T-shirt, face and hands.
You are paged urgently. Think about what you want to ask, we will come
back to this……

You want to know
What happened: triggers Background: recent changes? PMHx Past psych hx Meds Allergy
![Page 62: Developmental Disabilities and Pervasive Developmental disorders Dr. Sophia Hrycko April 4, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e205503460f94b0bfb8/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
What next?
Now that you know that she is deaf, likely has developmental delay, that she was abused, moved 3 months ago to this group home. Lost her hearing aids.
Is on Quetiapine 150 mg po QHS, 25 mg po QID PRN, clonidine 0.1 mg po QHS. That lorazepam made things worse.
She is still in handcuff, screaming but “medically cleared”…..

What are your options?
Behavior Mod? In ER? Meds? In ER?
