[Age dynamics of mental disorders in neglected minors].
Three hundred and sixty socially maladapted 7-18 year old children have been studied. Their mental state was evaluated in 3 age groups: 7-10 years (60 subjects); 11-14 years (202) and 15-18 years (98). The ICD-10 diagnosis of addictive behavior was established in 228 cases, mild cognitive disorders in 92; adaptation disorders in 61 and socialized and unsocialized disturbances of behavior--86 and 66 cases, respectively. As a rule, these disorders combined with neurotic ones. With age, social and school maladaptation advances, pathological drives and asocial behavior progress. Family history of mental diseases, social impacts such as lack of parent's or formal caregiver's control, and high frequency of mental disorders in children are risk factors for neglect.
