Early Detection of Mental Disorders in Children Module Course Code: XGA10045

Coordinator: Department of Psychiatry FMUI/RSCM Foreword Children's mental health problems is a problem that needs to be a concern at this time because of changes in various aspects of life, such as advances in information technology and globalization so that the flow of information flows rapidly without a filter. In addition, the presence of various crises in Indonesia increased cases of domestic violence accompanied by increase in violent behavior towards children. School as a place of education for children, so far only focused in improving the child's academic skills, while life skills has not yet be focused enough, thus making a child's social skills not developed to the optimum. All this certainly made an impact in the occurrence of psychiatric disorders in children in Indonesia. Data of the National Mental Health Policy from 2001 to 2005 showed that the ratio of mental/emotional health disorders in the group of children aged 4-15 years is 104/1000 children. In a study of the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems in children of primary school age in Central Jakarta in 2003 using Child Behavior Checklist instrument (Rahadian and Wiguna, 2003), 27% of children had emotional and behavioral problems. Prevalence in boys was more than girls (30.5% vs. 22.6%). Problems of internalization (anxiety, depression, and self-isolation) were greater when compared with problems of externalization (30% vs. 10.2%). Ang and Wiguna (2007) studied the prevalence of mental disorders in children in junior high school in Central Jakarta by using MINI for Kids instrument and found a prevalence of 26.5%. Mental disorders are more common in female students compared to male students. The type of mental disorder most commonly found are mood disorders, anxiety disorders, impaired concentration and attention/hyperactivity (GPPH), and behavioral disorders. In this elective module the mental disorders in children are focused on the 3 (three) types of mental disorders most often encountered in the clinic, which are pervasive developmental disorders, concentration problems and hyperactivity, and mental retardation. Number of Students: Minimum 2 people/Maximum 5 people. Introduction Early Detection of Mental Disorders in Children elective module is part of the educational program for students of FMUI in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry FMUI/RSCM that will run in the second semester academic year 2009-2010. Praise to the Almighty God, the instructional design book of this module can be compiled thanks to the help from the staff of at the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. This module, along with the pre-clinical and other clinical modules, is hoped to provide enough knowledge and skills for the students to further understand some of the many mental disorders in children commonly encountered in the community. In the long run, it is hoped that the knowledge gained in this module can help students to be physicians who can address health problems in the clinic and in the community. The module team would like thank for the input and constructive criticism for the improvement in the preparation and execution of the module. Background

Children's mental health problems is a problem that needs to be a concern at this time because of changes in various aspects of life, such as advances in information technology and globalization so that the flow of information flows rapidly without a filter. In addition, the presence of various crises in Indonesia increased cases of domestic violence accompanied by increase in violent behavior towards children. School as a place of education for children, so far only focused in improving the child's academic skills, while life skills has not yet be focused enough, thus making a child's social skills not developed to the optimum. All this certainly made an impact in the occurrence of psychiatric disorders in children in Indonesia. Data of the National Mental Health Policy from 2001 to 2005 showed that the ratio of mental/emotional health disorders in the group of children aged 4-15 years is 104/1000 children. In a study of the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems in children of primary school age in Central Jakarta in 2003 using Child Behavior Checklist instrument (Rahadian and Wiguna, 2003), 27% of children had emotional and behavioral problems. Prevalence in boys was more than girls (30.5% vs. 22.6%). Problems of internalization (anxiety, depression, and self-isolation) were greater when compared with problems of externalization (30% vs. 10.2%).
