{"title":"[Gender Dysphoria in Children in Clinical Practice of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry].","authors":"Masaru Tateno,&nbsp;Hiroshi Ikeda","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), Gender dysphoria (GD) is defined as a marked incongruence between one's experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender. Clinical pictures of GD in children show marked diversity. Because of their limited ability to express themselves verbally, children with GD might not be able to describe their discomfort or distress about this incongruence. In contrast to GD in adulthood, GD in children could be alleviated in the natural course. Thus, the clinical diagnosis of GD in children should be made carefully. Distortion of gender identity is equal to prominent confusion of identity, and has a huge psychological burden on children with GD. In addition to the distress due to dysphoria about gender, children with GD could suffer from bullying at school, loneliness among school peers or even in their family, and feelings of disgust about their physical appearance that could cause decreased self-esteem and a sense of worthlessness. In 2015, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan encouraged all school teachers to provide appropriate support at school to sexual minor- ity students, including students with GD. Furthermore, MEXT published a manual for school teachers to promote necessary interventions for such students at school. There are several papers reporting child cases of GD and comorbid psychiatric disorders. Among them, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the common comorbidities. Reflecting these conditions, recent review articles discuss possible associations between GD and ASD. In this paper, based on the first author's clinical experience, we describe the clinical symp- toms and diagnosis of GD in children, the relationship between GD and ASD, gender-related manifestations observed in ASD, and practical support for children with GD entering primary school.</p>","PeriodicalId":21638,"journal":{"name":"Seishin shinkeigaku zasshi = Psychiatria et neurologia Japonica","volume":"119 1","pages":"26-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36841901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mental problems in the modern society arise, in many cases, from various multidimensional factors which are intertwined and mutually related. Psychologists, in offering professional support in actual settings, need to be aware of their accountability that theories and skills are right for the supports.

In Germany, where the medical insurance is obligatory like in Japan, the authorized psy- chological psychologists are already functioning. There are similarities and differences between these psychological practitioners. German psychological psychologists are permitted both to have their own practices and to work in hospitals. Patients are allowed to visit them directly to be treated if they wish. The psychological psychologists are also authorized to claim medical treatment fee on medical insurance. The amount of their medical treatment fee is so much as that of psychiatric specialists on the whole. They are neither permitted to prescribe medicines nor to issue a medical certificate. They must ask them to a medical doctor. Like German's, neither prescription nor issue of a medical certificate are included in the authority of Japanese certified psychologists. They are not permitted to have a practice. It seems to be reasonable that every doctor can give them orders of psychotherapeutic treat- ments, as mentally sick patients are increasing in every field of clinical medicine.

{"title":"[A Questionnaire-based Study of Child Psychiatrists and Clinical Psychologists Regarding and Support for Children with Gender Identity Disorder and Sexual Problems].","authors":"Chiho Ueno,&nbsp;Masaru Tateno,&nbsp;Hiroshi Nakayama","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In 2010, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan strongly recommended that students with gender identity disorder (GID) who had behavioral health concerns should consult a professional in their schools. Furthermore, in 2015, MEXT subsequently announced that it is important for sexual minority students, including students with GID, to receive more support from professionals through cooperation with medical institutions. However, there has been no nationwide clinical research done on sexual minority youth, so little is known about how to optimally care for them in medical practice. This study assessed the current status of medical care for children and adolescents with GID and other atypical sexual development. The authors surveyed certifying physicians and councilors (315 people in total) of The Japanese Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The question obtained basic demographic and practice information and allowed for free responses on topics such as opinion on consultation and medical care for GID and atypical sex- ual development in childhood and adolescence. One hundred twenty-seven, or 40.3%, of those surveyed responded. The average number of years of total clinical experience was 23.9, and the average number of years of child psychiatric clinical experience was 18.8 years. The number of child psychiatrists who provided con- sultation for GID and other sexual development including transvestism and gender dysphoria were 88 (68.5%) and 105 (81.9%), respectively. The consultants' most frequent clients, in descending order, were: individuals, parents, and school officials. Seventy-four (57.5%) child psychiatrists provide medical care for patients with GID. In the preschool and elementary school age groups, consultants served many more (assignment) males than (assignment) females with GID, whereas in the higher elementary school and later ages, consultants served more females than males with GID equally often. In junior high school and later ages, consultants served more females than males with GID. Eighty-seven (67.7%) of the child psychiatrists provided medical care for patients with other sexual development. Before and during the mid- dle elementary school ages and in the high school ages, consultants served more males than females with other typical development, whereas in higher grade elementary and junior high school ages, consultants served more females than males with other typical development. The free response sections revealed a diversity of opinions, clinical course, and cooperation with other institutions. At present, among child psychiatrists, there are many different perspectives on clinical care for GID and other sexual development. Therefore, it will be necessary to systematically examine current scientific evidence and to establish consensus on best practices for clinical management.</p>","PeriodicalId":21638,"journal":{"name":"Seishin shinkeigaku zasshi = Psychiatria et neurologia Japonica","volume":"119 1","pages":"17-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36841900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Minds guide for developing clinical practice guidelines was published in 2014. The aim of the Minds project is to help medical practitioners fully utilize information related to evidence-based medicine (EBM) in their practice. Minds also provides patients and the public with information to help understand the basics of diseases and share up-to-date evi- dence with doctors, on which modern medical practices are based. Overall, clinical practice guidelines are made up as follows : 1) a three-layered structure of guideline committees con- sisting of a managing committee, guideline creation team, and a systematic review team, 2) a clear description of the basis for an individual's judgment and COI, 3) evaluation of the body of evidence summarized for every outcome and study design in all selected research reports for each Clinical Question (CQ), and 4) not only the \"benefit\" but also the \"harm\" in the patient outcome caused by intervention are to be included in the evaluation.

Psychiatric symptoms were recently shown to be very common in patients with 22q11.2 DS, prompting greater interest in this syndrome. Early diagnosis during childhood based on a con- stellation of physical features is optimal ; however, as some patients remain undiagnosed until the presentation of other symptoms in adult life, psychiatrists are well advised to familiarize themselves with basic information concerning 22q11.2 DS. A 25-year-old woman presenting with auditory hallucinations was referred to A hospital for examination and treatment. Her family history revealed both paternal and maternal rela- tives with schizophrenia. At birth, she presented a cleft palate and ventricular septum defect. She first became ambulatory at age 4 and became verbal a year later. Her intelligence quotient was estimated at around 40 and mental retardation (DSM-IV) with autistic features was diag- nosed at age 7. After graduating from a special high school, she obtained fulltime employment in a workshop. However, auditory hallucinations began disrupting her life from 22 years of age. Although olanzapine temporarily alleviated her symptoms, the resultant extrapyramidal symp- toms worsened and she was referred to A hospital again at age 25. The patient presented with micrognathia and a flat nasal root and spoke a maximum of 3 words per sentence in a very high and indistinct tone. A cardiac defect (ventricular septal defect), scoliosis, and low platelets were also observed. The diagnosis of 22qll.2 DS was confirmed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The patient and her family were subsequently introduced to a 22q11.2 DS patients' support group. Careful genetic counseling is paramount, but the diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS can make updated information, official aid, and access to support groups available to patients and their family. Emergency complications such as seizures due to hypocalcemia can also be anticipated. The comparatively late diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS in our patient, which went undetected until the presentation of auditory hallucinations, in the context of mental retardation with autis- tic features (DSM-IV) underscores the importance of detailed clinical observation. \"One rare variant\" possibly points out the essence of psychiatric pathophysiology. Moreover, 22q11.2 DS has been listed as an intractable disease in Japan since 2015. When patients present with neurodevelopmental disorders and schizophrenic symptoms, we should carefully observe their physical features for clues to the possible diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS.</p>","PeriodicalId":21638,"journal":{"name":"Seishin shinkeigaku zasshi = Psychiatria et neurologia Japonica","volume":"119 1","pages":"9-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36841899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
