Abstract

Purpose of the review: It is well-documented that individuals with DCD experience mental health problems, in both psychosocial and psychiatric domains. In this review, we propose a series of diverse options to improve mental health among individuals with DCD.

Recent findings: Despite recognition of mental health problems in DCD, relatively little work has been done to develop effective interventions. There is an urgent need for action in this matter. We present and discuss options based on a societal perspective (awareness and understanding), parental perspective (access to services and resources), and child perspective (participation).

Summary: In order to improve mental health, interventions must take into account multiple levels in a complex framework that includes community, family, and the individual. While more research on intervention effectiveness is necessary, researchers, practitioners, and community advocates can use existing initiatives as a starting point to address the urgent need for improving mental health in DCD.

我们能做些什么来促进发展性协调障碍患者的心理健康?

回顾的目的:有充分的证据表明，患有DCD的个体在心理社会和精神病学领域都有心理健康问题。在这篇综述中，我们提出了一系列不同的选择来改善DCD患者的心理健康。最近的发现:尽管认识到DCD中的心理健康问题，但相对而言，在制定有效的干预措施方面所做的工作很少。在这个问题上迫切需要采取行动。我们从社会的角度(意识和理解)、父母的角度(获得服务和资源)和儿童的角度(参与)提出和讨论选项。摘要:为了改善心理健康，干预措施必须在一个复杂的框架中考虑到多个层面，包括社区、家庭和个人。虽然有必要对干预措施的有效性进行更多的研究，但研究人员、从业人员和社区倡导者可以利用现有的举措作为起点，解决改善DCD患者心理健康的迫切需要。

期刊介绍： Current Developmental Disorders Reports commissions expert reviews from leading scientists and clinicians in the field of developmental disorders. What makes the journal unique is its focus—coverage of not one but a host of major disorders in the field, ranging from autism, ADHD, and Tourette’s syndrome, to motor disorders such as cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder, through to language and reading disorders such as developmental dyslexia. International authorities serve as editorial board members and section editors, and articles from some of the world’s leading researchers will focus on timely and current reviews of the literature in areas spanning the continuum from bench to communities to individuals. Reviews on new scientific discoveries in neurosciences, genetics, and epidemiology, as well as clinical interventions and policy will provide readers with access to new, innovative, and impactful discoveries as they emerge.
