Activity Abstract: Evidence to support pharmacologic treatment of impulse control in children and adolescents is rooted in the primary diagnosis.  While impulsivity can present in numerous mental health disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) specifically list impulsivity in its diagnostic criteria, and other mental health diagnoses such as bipolar disorder (BD), disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) contain key diagnostic features that are closely related to impulsivity.  It is important for pharmacists to understand the differential diagnosis process for impulse control disorders in youth as the treatment for the impulse control can vary widely based on the primary diagnosis.  This program will aim to educate the audience on those differential diagnoses and the recommended treatments for impulsivity in children based on their primary mental health disorder.

Objectives

  • • Differentiate between the varying presentations of impulsivity in youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder (BD), disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
  • Describe evidence-based treatment options for impulsivity based on the primary mental health diagnosis
  • • Discuss specific patient cases and recommend appropriate treatment for the presenting impulse control disorder.

Description
When media reports of yet another horrifying multi-casualty shooting fill the national news, outraged calls to “fix the mental health system” tend to collide in the public square with proposals to expand and enforce gun laws. Developing public policy solutions to significantly reduce firearm-related violence and suicide is especially challenging in the U.S.—a multi-jurisdictional nation where private ownership of handguns is highly prevalent, culturally entrenched, and constitutionally protected; where violent acts are associated with multiple non-specific risk factors, making them difficult to predict at the individual level; and where public mental health services systems tend to be fragmented and under-resourced. This lecture will describe firearm-related violence and suicide in America as a major population health problem at the intersection of crime and mental illness, and as complex puzzle for public policy and practice. The lecture takes a public-health-law perspective in seeking practical, evidence-based solutions that balance risk and rights. The presentation will highlight one promising ‘puzzle piece’ in particular—an innovative type of state law that uses a civil court order to preemptively remove firearms from persons who are deemed to pose a significant risk of harming others or themselves. Importantly, the new laws are designed to appropriately balance public safety concerns with the right to possess a gun—without stigmatizing people with mental illness or criminalizing the respondent—and using a process that may enable the person to obtain necessary treatment and support. New research evidence will be presented on the implementation and effectiveness of these laws, especially in preventing gun suicides.
