SummaryAbnormal sexual behaviour in pre-pubescent children is uncommon even in a psychiatrically referred population. Among 516 referrals there were 6 boys and 10 girls, the girls starting younger. The boys differed little in history or background from other conduct-disordered boys, but the girls were more commonly victims of sexual abuse and lacking a father in the home. The personalities of the girls suggested continued risk of sexual experimentation and possible development of personality disorder.

These are the results of a retrospective study in which we reviewed the charts of 38 consecutive aggressive mentally retarded persons who were treated with lithium carbonate. All subjects were residents of a university operated program that serves mentally retarded persons with behavioral disorders. Over 63% of these subjects evidenced a greater than 30% reduction in the frequency of aggressiveness subsequent to the start of lithium therapy. Subjects with higher serum lithium levels had a more favorable response to lithium, along with those exhibiting higher levels of hyperactivity and violence before treatment.

Blood and breath acetaldehyde levels were measured following ethanol ingestion (0.5 ml/kg) in 11 boys familially at risk for alcoholism and 11 age-matched controls. No significant differences were found between groups for acetaldehyde, objective, or subjective measures of intoxication. Previous reports of acetaldehyde as a marker of risk for alcoholism were not confirmed. Baseline behavioral state predicted response to alcohol. Children tended to have a subjective response in a direction opposite from the baseline mood state.

The report on teenage suicide by the Committee on Adolescents (Pediatrics 66:144, 1980) was timely and worthwhile. We question their conclusions concerning prevention of adolescent suicide and management of those who have attempted suicide. Successful suicide by adults is almost always associated with a readily diagnosed condition: depressive illness, alcoholism, dementia, schizophrenia, or antisocial personality.1,2 Unfortunately it is not yet clear which disorders in children or adolescents are likely to lead to suicide, although Shaffer3 has reported a strong association with conduct disorder.

The subjects were 46 boys with aggressive conduct disorder who were admitted to a psychiatric ward. We divided them according to level of activity and number of antisocial "symptoms"; then compared the resulting groups on clinical and social variables. Seventy-four per cent of the boys were observed to be hyperactive. Compared to those with a normal level of activity, this group developed their problems earlier, had more frequent speech and language deficits and came from more disrupted homes. Thirty boys were classed as antisocial and 16 as not. The former differed from the latter chiefly in their failure to respond to treatment. At follow-up significantly more non-antisocial boys were improved than antisocial. The results suggest that antisocial behavior affects outcome, while the variations in activity level are related to different origins of the disorder.

On the basis of familial constellations it is possible to separate out most of the unipolar depressive patients that are seen in the hospital. The groups may be called depression spectrum disease, pure depressive disease, and sporadic depressive disease. The sporadic depressive disease group is older at onset and older at index of admission than the other two groups. The depression spectrum disease and pure depressive disease groups are separated by virtue of the fact that there are more episodes of illness in the latter.
