Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) Severe impairment pervades broad areas of social and psychological development in children Asperger's Disorder | Autistic Disorder | Childhood Disintegrative Disorder | Rett's Disorder

Asperger's Disorder (AD) Asperger's (or AS) is one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) characterized by difficulties in social interaction and by restricted, stereotyped interests and activities. AS is distinguished from the other ASDs in having no general delay in language or cognitive development. Although not mentioned in standard diagnostic criteria, motor clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.

Autistic Disorder Autistic disorder (also called autism) is a neurological and developmental disorder that usually appears during the first three years of life. A child with autism appears to live in his/her own world, showing little interest in others, and a lack of social awareness. The focus of an autistic child is a consistent routine and includes an interest in repeating odd and peculiar behaviors. Autistic children often have problems in communication, avoid eye contact, and show limited attachment to others. The evidence is NOT that it is caused by vaccinations.

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder Children appear to develop normally for the first two years of life, but then lose skills in areas such as language, play, and bowel control and manifest impaired social interaction and communication associated with "restrictive, repetitive, stereotyped" behaviors.

Rett's Disorder Children with Rett’s Disorder appear to develop normally at first, but their head growth slows, they lose social "engagement" and hand skills, and they develop stereotyped movements of the hands and poorly coordinated gait or trunk movements. There is also psychomotor retardation and impairment of language development.

Attention-Deficit and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Conduct Disorder Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Inattention Hyperactivity Impulsivity

Oppositional Defiant Disorder This diagnosis involves a pattern of defiant, angry, antagonistic, hostile, irritable, or vindictive behavior. These children may blame others for their problems.

Delirium, Dementia, and Amnestic and Other Cognitive Disorders

Delirium Although classified as a mental disorder because it involves fluctuating level of consciousness and pervasive impairment in mental, behavioral, and emotional functioning, this brain state, which is usually of acute onset and temporary duration, is probably always caused by physical disease, head trauma, or drug effect.

Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and eventually by disturbances in reasoning, planning, language, and perception.

Dementia Due to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative brain disorder. Symptoms usually start around age 60. Memory problems, behavior changes, vision problems and poor muscle coordination progress quickly to dementia, coma and death. Most patients die within a year. The three main categories of CJD are sporadic CJD, which occurs for no known reason hereditary CJD, which runs in families acquired CJD, which occurs from contact with infected tissue, usually during a medical procedure Cattle can get a disease related to CJD called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or "mad cow disease." It is possible that people can get a variant of CJD from eating beef from an infected animal.

Vascular Dementia Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer disease (AD). The condition is not a single disease; it is a group of syndromes relating to different vascular mechanisms. Vascular dementia is preventable; therefore, early detection and an accurate diagnosis are important. A common type is multi-infarct dementia
