Clinical manifestations at the initial stage of child neuropathy formation: an analytical review

Abstract

A critical analysis of the concept of child neuropathy syndrome is submitted, and also described the difficulties of its diagnosis in the initial stages of formation. The existing approaches to understand this disorder are analyzed. Today neuropathy in child psychiatry is most often interpreted as one of of abnormal development forms - as dysontogenesis of the nervous system, characterized by increased excitability combined with increased exhaustion. Diagnostic difficulties are caused by the fact that there is no common opinion at the understanding of neuropathy, its criteria and dynamics. Moreover, clinical-psychopathological differences, associated with the peculiarities of etiopathogenesis require clarification. Its relationship with such evolutionary dynamic factor as ontogenetic is not sufficiently clear.
