小児双極性障害の脳機能と病態経過に関する研究

There are 6 separate populations being studied in this protocol: 1.Children and adolescents between the ages of 7-17 years old who meet criteria for DMDD or subthreshold DMDD. 2.Parents of children and adolescents, who meet criteria for DMDD or subthreshold DMDD and are enrolled in 02-M-0021, and are 25-85 years old will be studied. 3.Healthy volunteer children and adolescents between the ages of 7-17 years old. 4.Healthy volunteer adults between the ages of 18-25 years old. 5.Children and adolescents between the ages of 12-17 years old who meet criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD). 6.Children and adolescents between the ages of 8-17 years who meet criteria for attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who do not have a mood disorder.

• INCLUSION CRITERIA:

  1. Inclusion criteria for children with DMDD, subthreshold DMDD:

     1.1.1 Ages 7-17 at the time of recruitment; will be followed in the longitudinal component of the study until age 25.

     1.1.2 Abnormal mood (specifically, anger, sadness, and/or irritability), present at least half of the day most days (or at least half the day at least one day per week for subthreshold), and of sufficient severity to be noticeable by people in the child's environment (e.g. parents/caregivers, teachers, peers).

     1.1.3 Compared to his/her peers, the child exhibits markedly increased reactivity to negative emotional stimuli that is manifest verbally or behaviorally. For example, the child responds to frustration with extended temper tantrums (inappropriate for age and/or precipitating event), verbal rages, and/or aggression toward people or property. Such events occur, on average, at least three times a week. For subthreshold DMDD such tantrums occur on average at least once per month.

     1.1.4 The symptoms in # 1.1.2, and 1.1.3 above are currently present and have been present for at least 12 months without any symptom-free periods exceeding three months.

     1.1.5 The onset of symptoms must be prior to age 10 years.

     1.1.6 For DMDD the symptoms are severe in at least in one setting (e.g. violent outbursts, assaultiveness at home, school, or with peers) and at least mild (distractibility, intrusiveness) in a second setting. For subthreshold DMDD, there must be evidence of impairment causing distress to the child or to those around him/her in at least one setting.

  5. Children with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Inclusion criteria (all must be met):

     5.1.2. DSM-IV or DSM-5 Major Depressive Disorder

     5.1.2.1 Five or more of the following symptoms have been present during the same 2-week period and represent a change from previous functioning; at one of the symptoms is either (1) depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure.

     5.1.2.1.1 Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feeling sad, blue, "down in the dumps," or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful or about to cry). (In children and adolescents, this may present as an irritable or cranky, rather than sad, mood.)

     5.1.2.1.2 Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities every day, such as no interest in hobbies, sports, or other things the person used to enjoy doing.

     5.1.2.1.3. Significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain (e.g., a change of more than 5 percent of body weight in a month), or decrease or increase in appetite nearly every day.

     5.1.2.1.5. Psychomotor agitation (e.g., restlessness, inability to sit still, pacing, pulling at clothes or clothes) or retardation (e.g., slowed speech, movements, quiet talking) nearly every day

     5.1.2.1.6. Fatigue, tiredness, or loss of energy nearly every day (e.g., even the smallest tasks, like dressing or washing, seem difficult to do and take longer than usual).

     5.1.2.1.9. Recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), recurrent suicidal ideas without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide

     5.1.2.1.10 Symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational/academic, or other important areas of functioning.

     5.1.2.1.11. The episode is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or to another medical condition.
