Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Less than three decades ago, depression was seen as a predominantly adult disorder as children were considered too developmentally immature to experience depressive disorders, and adolescent low mood was considered as part of \'normal\' teenage mood swings. Major depressive disorder in children and adolescents is a serious psychiatric illness especially in paediatric surgical patients. This may be due to their altered metabolic rate and heighten metabolic response to trauma which has significant implications for the psychological development of the child, yet it remains under-recognized and undertreated. The well-being of the care givers is also not left out as the care givers are inundated with the task of sourcing and providing finance for hospital care., in addition to the stress of providing care for the patient. This may result in loss of man hour, sleeplessness, and physical exhaustion associated with caring for these ill children which can ultimately significantly increase the risk of them having depressive episode. The aim of this commentary is to highlight the fact that paediatric surgical patients are not exempt to having a major depressive disorder and the care givers should also be evaluated during hospital admission of their wards.
UNASSIGNED: This is a commentary on depressive disorders among Nigerian paediatric surgical patients. Related publications on children and adolescents presenting to hospital were searched using the domain - Depression in Nigerian adolescent, Paediatric surgery patients on PubMed, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE to appraise this review.
UNASSIGNED: Mood disorders, especially depression in children and adolescents have been studied increasingly over the last two decades and surgical conditions worsen the outlook, culminating in increased knowledge about the presentation, and treatment. Despite this, it is still often missed or misdiagnosed because it sometimes presents with uncharacteristic symptoms. Prevalence of depressiion among paediatric surgical patient were found to be between 46-82% in this review among Nigerian patients.
摘要:
不到三十年前,抑郁症被认为是一种主要的成人疾病,因为儿童被认为在发育上太不成熟,无法经历抑郁症。青少年情绪低落被认为是青少年情绪波动的一部分。儿童和青少年的重度抑郁症是一种严重的精神疾病,尤其是在儿科手术患者中。这可能是由于他们的代谢率改变,并提高了对创伤的代谢反应,这对儿童的心理发育具有重要意义。然而,它仍然被低估和对待。护理人员的福祉也没有被忽视,因为护理人员被淹没在为医院护理寻找和提供资金的任务中。,除了为病人提供护理的压力。这可能会导致工时损失,失眠,以及与照顾这些患病儿童相关的身体疲惫,这最终会显著增加他们抑郁发作的风险。本评论的目的是强调以下事实:儿科手术患者不能免于患有严重抑郁症,并且在病房入院期间也应对护理人员进行评估。
这是对尼日利亚儿科手术患者抑郁症的评论。使用以下领域搜索了有关儿童和青少年到医院就诊的相关出版物:尼日利亚青少年的抑郁症,PubMed上的儿科手术患者,谷歌学者,和MEDLINE来评估这次审查。
情绪失调,在过去的二十年中,对儿童和青少年的抑郁症的研究越来越多,手术条件恶化了前景,最终增加了对演示文稿的了解,和治疗。尽管如此,它仍然经常被错过或误诊,因为它有时会出现不典型的症状。在尼日利亚患者中,儿科手术患者的抑郁症患病率在46-82%之间。
