But sometimes even when my mood was relaxed and the remark wasn't harsh or what happened was nothing significant, it keeps bothering me. I know it is not worthwhile even to think once but however I try it keeps recurring. Is there any way I could know in advance when I am susceptible to these kinds of disturbances?

Answer: You may notice yourself feeling more sensitive and getting hurt more easily. Be more careful on days you are under a lot of stress.

Question: How do we interprete a drawing based on Draw-a-Person:Screening Procedure for Emotional Disturbance?

Answer: Only trained professionals should be giving and interpreting psychological tests. If you are students of psychology and are just trying to have a little fun (we all did it) there are books about how to interpret the results. But be aware that with any subjective testing there are many nuances in the interpretation process. Anything you do on your own is not valid or reliable. Some things I remember from psychometrics about this test were large teeth can signal aggression, small person or not the center of page is sign of feeling insignificant, proportion of arms, legs, body mean something I can't remember now. Even colors used, other objects drawn, position on paper all have significance. It can be very complicated.

Question: Just what is a serious emotional disturbance in your opinion?

Answer: If your asking for a school definition it is when a child has problems in relationships with teachers and peers. They have inappropriate behaviors under normal circumstances and are generally in a pervasive mood of unhappiness or (chronic) depression and they have an inability to learn and can't be explained by intellectual sensory or health factors. There are a few characteristics that go with emotional disturbances such as: aggression towards themselves and others, conduct disorder, attention problems/immaturity, anxiety/withdrawal, psychotic behavior, and motor excess. There are more but those were some of the basic characteristics. Normally people diagnosed with emotional disturbances are generally also diagnosed with behavioral disturbances as well.

Question: How to differentiate ADD from emotional disturbance in a ten y.o.??? This guy has attention seeking behavior, wanting to fit in, be included. He is also craving a father figure. Father is not present all summer and also busy in the school year. Mother insists on calling him ADD, but I think he's just hurting.

Answer: ADHD doesn't do a lot to describe a person's situation. But then again, neither does "emotional disturbance." Diagnoses aside, it's important to consider each child's social history and environment as well as a variety of other factors. It sounds like you're doing that. Even if he does have a condition diagnosable as ADHD, you are thinking a little more deeply about him and that's what he needs. Any simplification whatsoever is probably somewhat inappropriate. As a child/adolescent therapist, I can tell you that almost every young boy I see with anger problems, depression problems, PTSD, anxiety or Bipolar, is also diagnosed with ADHD. Personally, I believe it's overdiagnosed, but I think that happens because frustrated parents need to hear a diagnosis that will help them believe "he's not just a shitty kid... he has a problem that he can't help." So the answer is that ADHD and emotional disturbance are not mutually exclusive. ADHD is basically inability to pay attention, which may or may not be accompanied by hyperactivity. Emotional disturbance is simply a problem regulating certain emotions which affects the child's performance and isn't due to a substance, medical condition, or an acute response to an environmental change (like moving to a new school).

Question: Is it a sign of emotional disturbance when a person cheats to get points on 'Answers'? Why does one find it so important to be chosen 'best answer' that they resort to cheating - such as multiple profiles, voting for self when asker doesn't vote, etc. I was curious and checked this out. Most of her best answers were voted by herself. (best answer chosen by voter(s). This person seems intelligent enough. What could be motivating her? I don't care if she cheats. It's not stealing from me. I just find it very curious and don't understand the point. Pardon the pun. lol! Right, we win nothing so why does it matter to her? Interesting. Yes, I do think that Mr. There's nothing wrong with my natural curiosity. This was not meant to be one of the world's 'heaviest' questions. I just thought it would be interesting to see what people would think of it. This was not meant to be one of the world's 'heaviest' questions. I just thought it would be interesting to see what people would think of it. PTL! I can't use your name, let's just say it's metal : ) At last! An intelligent person who knows what I'm talking about. Answers is good to pass the time or to combat insomnia and can be fun but, it's wearing thin on me too. re points. Who cares, right? Person I'm talking about is mean and nasty though. I guess that made me notice her and check her out.

Answer: yes there are those that go to extreme lengths to get to the top o the heap. downright crazy. i have a whole lot of time on my hands and for a while spent many hours on this site, far, far too many hours. i'm now level five and have slacked off quite a bit. one of the things that slowed me down was watching one of the top participants collect 10s of thousands of points in the time i collected 100s of points. 10s of thousands! over 100,000 at this time. at that time i realized i would have to create multiple accounts and network them all together, etc. i first became aware of serious point gaming when i found a guy with well over 50%. a ridiculous figure. curious i started looking into it. it was immediately obvious that this was a scam. this guy was pretty blatant and i think he must have gotten booted or changed tactics. it was like he was talking to himself, asking a question and then answering it with a different account and always choosing the same answerer. if you looked at his best answers the questions were always from the same 6 accounts. the top guy on the current leader board has 58% best answers, a ludicrous figure as most average 5% - 10%. his trick is stock answers, and of course self-promotion. it's a sickness this need to succeed. a serious neurosis complicated by some sort of OCD.

Question: Is the new federal definition of serious emotional disturbance needed under IDEA? Are there any problems with the current definition?

Answer: I'm not sure what you are asking. Perhaps, you could re-word it. On the face of it, the answer would be "yes". Without a definition of "serious emotional disturbance" a huge number of kids wouldn't be provided services. It's such an obvious answer, I must be missing something. By the by, I would have preferred the phrase "Serious Behavior Disturbance". The definition makes a big difference in how the problem is conceptualized and addressed. The previous response is incorrect. 504 is something related but entirely different.

Question: Severe emotional disturbance? Does anyone know what causes severe emotional disturbance in children? Also, how severe does the problem need to be in order for a child to be placed in a school that is specifically designed for kids with mental/emotional disorders?

Answer: According to federal regulations, the student must have one or more of the following conditions to be called S.E.D., as Emotional disturbance is 1 of 12 disability categories specified under IDEA. It is defined as follows: "(i) The term means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child’s educational performance: (A) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors (B) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers. (C) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances. (D) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression. (E) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. (ii) The term includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have an emotional disturbance" (CFR §300.7 (a) 9). The IEP team determines the appropriate placement for students- generally the factors taken into account are where the child can have the most success, and if the child is a danger to himself or others. A separate facility is the most restrictive environment, thus the difficulties must be fairly severe, as school districts generally have few of these spots available.

Question: what is the different with autism and emotional disturbance.? i was diagnose at 14 with e.d and i look up the information in it sounds like autism as well

Answer: For a diagnosis of autism, you have to meet certain criteria. You have to have a minimum number of deficits in three major areas: social, communication, and developmental delays. This site gives the diagnostic criteria for an autism diagnosis: http://www.autreat.com/dsm4-autism.html in depth. Many disorders can look like autism because of certain characteristics or traits; however, you must have all of the criteria for an autism diagnosis. It's possible that you have autistic tendencies or characteristics of autism, without actually having autism.

Question: Is a midlife life crisis an emotional disturbance?

Answer: Hmmm...it definitely involves emotions, and disturbance, so I guess it might be described that way. In my case, midlife was also the time that I experienced menopause and looked back on my life and accomplishments and took stock...and made plans for the second half of my life. In the case of my husband, I think he too took stock and assessed his feelings about his accomplishments up to that point.

Question: emotional disturbance and autism what are the similarities? i just want to know is emotional disturbance almost on the autism spectrum efinition: Emotional Disturbance - The IDEA specifies emotional disturbance as one of the thirteen disability categories of eligibility for special education services under 34 CFR 300.8(c)(6). It is a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child’s educational performance: inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors; inability to develop and keep appropriate, satisfactory social relationships with family, peers, and adults in the school system; inappropriate behavior or feelings in response to normal situations; a pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or a tendency to develop negative physical symptoms or fears related to personal or school problems. Autistic Disorder (also called “classic” autism) This is what most people think of when hearing the word “autism.” People with autistic disorder usually have significant language delays, social and communication challenges, and unusual behaviors and interests. Many people with autistic disorder also have intellectual disability. Asperger Syndrome People with Asperger syndrome usually have some milder symptoms of autistic disorder. They might have social challenges and unusual behaviors and interests. However, they typically do not have problems with language or intellectual disability. Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS; also called “atypical autism”) People who meet some of the criteria for autistic disorder or Asperger syndrome, but not all, may be diagnosed with PDD-NOS. People with PDD-NOS usually have fewer and milder symptoms than those with autistic disorder. The symptoms might cause only social and communication challenges.

Answer: However they ARE both Neurobiological hence related to everything else that is NeuroBio LIKE: ADHD, ADD, ASD, Asperger, Emotional Disoder, BiPolar, Rhetts, etc etc etc. Diagnostically students with neurobio disorders can change over time(and hormones) and their presentation may change at different times in their development. UPDATE: re: NOS tacked on to any word diagnosis is NOT a diagnosis. it is not otherwise specified. Some features not enough to be specifc is what it means. Too many people use that NOS incorrectly - including medical folk. Sometimes to make the parents feel better sometimes because they don't know any better. So please learn and get that right. Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD) there is a variety of markers or symptoms but not enough to put in one category or another. Sometimes used for students that have some features of Autism but are also depressed, or hyperactive or .... There is a boatload of research on co-morbidity - ASD & Depression or Anxiety or ADHD etc - the challenge in the schools is to determine what impacts a student the most at that time. It's more important to focus on what the child needs as the actual label a school can use - may change over time. Your definitions are ok on paper but do not make the mistake of trying to pigeon hole the students that way - Aspy's do indeed have communication issues especially in pragmatics, for example. In real life - sorting it out is not easy - in schools remember that schools to not diagnose and in the medical community - they don't have typical peers to compare too. There is NOTHING diagnostically difinative for AUTISM or Autism Spectrum in a test. It is gathering of information and observation. Not like an x-ray of a broken arm. A couple of good books to read include: Kids in the Syndorme Mix by Martin Kutscher Autism: A Guide for Educators, Clinicians, and Parents Bob Buckendorf, Ph.D., CCC-SLP,
