Behavioral disorders also known as conduct disorders are one of the most common forms of disability among children and young adults and is the most frequently cited reason for referral to mental health services. The appearance of behavioral disorders is increasing dramatically in our K-12 classrooms. As a result, their presence severely constrains the ability of the school systems to educate students effectively. The prevalence of behavioral problems among children and young adults is substantial. Many surveys indicate that behavioral disorders vary among young adults, ranging from 2 and 6 percent among K-12 students. This percentage translates into 1.3 to 3.8 million cases of behavioral disorders among the school and pre-college population.

Behavior disorders have also been referred to in a variety of different terminologies, including but not limited to:

1. Emotional and Behavior Disorders (EBD)

2. Emotional Conflict (EC)

3. Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED)

Behavioral disorders become apparent when the student displays a repetitive and impact persistent pattern of behavior that results in the significant disruption of other students. Such disturbances may cause significant impairments in academic, social, and or occupational functioning. Among the characteristics of a behavioral disorder among children and adolescents are:

General Strategies

Multidisciplinary educational teams, including parents, must design programs to meet the individual behavioral and academic needs of identified SED students. Most students can benefit from supportive treatments provided in general education programs. For others, at least temporary placements in special education classrooms, schools, or institutional programs may be appropriate.

Special education programs usually attempt to provide a structured environment where students experience a high degree of success; rules and routines are predictable; and students are consistently rewarded for appropriate behavior. Behavior management techniques, such as positive reinforcement, token economies, contracting, and time-out, which rely on direct measurement and monitoring of behavioral change, are commonly used in SED programs. The assessment and systematic teaching of social skills through modeling, discussion, and rehearsal are frequently used to help students increase control over their behavior and improve their relations with others. In addition, supportive therapies involving music, art, exercise, and relaxation techniques, as well as affective education, individual, and group counseling are sometimes employed to improve self-understanding, self-esteem, and self-control. The following are strategies that may be effective with students with EBD:

Teacher Presentation

Laboratory

Group Interaction and Discussion

1. Acknowledge the contributions of the student with an emotional disorder.

2. Call for responses and participation commensurate with the student's socialization skills.

3. As the student's comfort level rises and when a safe topic is available, encourage the student to be a group spokesperson.

4. Along with the student, devise a contingency plan in which inappropriate forms of response are replaced by appropriate ones.

5. Gradually increase the challenges in the student's participation in group exercises while providing increased positive reinforcement.

6. Help the student to feel as though he or she has something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion.

7. Some students may experience considerable strain in social adjustment in a group context. It may be necessary to work gradually toward group activities. One can devise a strategy of progressing from spectatorship to one-to-one instruction and eventually to small group discussion.

8. Should monitor carefully to ensure that the nondisabled students do not dominate the discussion or detract in any way from the successful performance of the student with the behavioral disorder.

Reading

1. It is necessary to target specific pro-social behaviors for appropriate instruction and assessment to occur such as:

1. Taking turns, working with partner, following directions.

2. Reading in group or with others.

3. Increasing positive relationships by means of awards when they read appropriately.

4. Demonstrating appropriate reading

2. Instructional strategies involving self-control, self-reinforcement, self-monitoring, self-management, problem solving, cognitive behavior modification, and metacognitive skills should be focused on teaching students reading skills

Research

1. Review and discuss with the student the steps involved in a research activity. Think about which step(s) may be difficult for the specific functional limitations of the student and jointly devise accommodations for that student.

2. Use appropriate laboratory and field strategies.

3. Depending on the site of the research check the previous two sections.

4. Show clear examples of what the students should expect as an outcome of their research.

Field Experiences

1. Use appropriate general strategies.

2. Consider alternate activities/exercises that can be utilized with less difficulty for the student, but has the same or similar learning objectives.

3. In field activities acknowledge the contributions and assistance of the student with an emotional disorder.

4. Help the student to feel as though he or she has something worthwhile to contribute to the field trip.

5. Use a buddy system.

6. Gradually increase the challenges in the student's participation in field exercises while providing increased positive reinforcement.

7. Group participation in field activities is highly desirable because it enhances social contacts.

8. Make the student with the behavioral disorder become one of the field trip leader of an activity which can often reduce their disorder.

9. Special efforts should be made to get students with behavioral disorders to interact with other students.

10. You should encourage students to practice field skills during their free hours.

11. Every effort should be made to arouse the interest of such students in activities, so they will learn to perform the activities with success and pleasure with appropriate behaviors.

Testing

1. Be sensitive to the student's reactions to the various aspects of assessment.

2. For each student, accumulate in his or her portfolio several examples of work (quizzes, assignments, projects) that demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter or the unit of study.

3. Make special arrangements for the student with an emotional disorder according to what their special needs are and that they do not compromise the integrity of the testing situation.

4. Stay on top of student progress through informal assessment, don't wait until it's too late to discover that there is a problem.

5. Provide private room/smaller group setting/alternative test site (with proctor present); alternatively screens to block out distractions.

An overactive molecular signal pathway in the brain region of the amygdala can lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A research team from Würzburg has established this connection.

Some people have an extreme fear of dirt or bacteria. As a result, they may develop a habit of compulsive washing and repeatedly cleaning their hands or body. They are trapped in a vicious circle, as the fear of new contamination returns quickly after washing. Sufferers see no way out. They are even incapable of changing their behaviour when the excessive washing has led to skin irritation or damage.

Around two percent of the general population suffer from some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) at least once in their life. The disorder is characterised by persistent intrusive thoughts which the sufferers try to compensate for by repetitive ritualized behaviour.

Like depression, eating disorders and other mental diseases, OCD is treated with antidepressants. However, the drugs are non-specific, that is they are not tailored to the respective disease. Therefore, scientists have been looking for new and better targeted therapies that have fewer side effects.
Missing protein triggers urge to wash
Professor Kai Schuh from the Institute of Physiology at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg (Germany) and his team explore the underlying causes of obsessive-compulsive disorder in collaboration with the JMU's Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology.

"We were able to show in mouse models that the absence of the protein SPRED2 alone can trigger an excessive grooming behaviour," Schuh says. He believes that this finding is crucial as no clear trigger for this type of disorder has been identified until now. Previous research pointed to multiple factors being responsible for developing OCD.

Occurring in all cells of the body, the protein SPRED2 is found in particularly high concentrations in regions of the brain, namely in the basal ganglia and the amygdala. Normally, the protein inhibits an important signal pathway of the cell, the so-called Ras/ERK-MAP kinase cascade. When it is missing, this signal pathway is more active than usual.
Hyperactive signal cascade in the brain
"It is primarily the brain-specific initiator of the signal pathway, the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB, that is excessively active and causes the overshooting reaction of the downstream components", biologist Dr. Melanie Ullrich explains.

Administering an inhibitor to attenuate the overactive signal cascade in the animal model improves the obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Moreover, the JMU research team was able to treat the OCD with an antidepressant, similarly to standard therapy in humans. Their detailed results have been published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
New targets for therapies pinpointed
"Our study delivers a valuable new model that allows the disease mechanisms to be investigated and new therapy options for obsessive-compulsive disorders to be tested," Professor Schuh says.

The recently discovered link between OCDs and the Ras/ERK-MAP kinase cascade also opens up new targets for therapy. Drugs that inhibit this cascade are already available and some of them are approved for human treatment.

According to Melanie Ullrich, these are cancer drugs, as overactivation of the Ras/ERK-MAP kinase cascade is also a frequent trigger of cancer: "So we are wondering whether such drugs could also be effective in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders and whether they are beneficial in terms of side effects."

More information: M Ullrich et al. OCD-like behavior is caused by dysfunction of thalamo-amygdala circuits and upregulated TrkB/ERK-MAPK signaling as a result of SPRED2 deficiency, Molecular Psychiatry (2017). DOI: 10.1038/mp.2016.232
