There is no environment today in which we do not hear about HIP. Whether in healthcare, schools or the media, the subject of HIP is becoming a universal and societal issue. Through this study, we wanted to give a voice to those concerned in order to highlight, from an emotional point of view, the consequences of having received this designation on their development. Ten teenagers and young adults were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide developed by the Maison de Solenn team, and their stories were analysed using a qualitative methodology. In this article, we focus on three main themes: the psychological assessment and its effects, post-appointment family reorganisation, and changes in the aftermath. Over and above the pros and cons and the many polemics surrounding the issue of HIP, this article takes a nuanced approach to all the issues and changes that the HIP designation can generate in a young person and his or her family. Derived from a constructivist perspective, the emergence of the HIP category also responds to a ‘need to believe’ and to the quest for ideals by adolescents and young adults in our society. Professionals must be able to interpret this category in terms of its complexity and nuances.

Context
Questions regarding the use of psychotropic medications in children and adolescents with autism have drawn significant attention in the scientific literature and public debates at the international level. However, to date, no dedicated epidemiological data are available on this topic in the scientific literature or in information provided by health agencies or public authorities in France. This article aims to analyze data from the National Health Data System (SNDS) to describe trends in psychotropic medication use among children and adolescents with autism between 2010 and 2022, as well as the clinical, demographic, and social factors contributing to these prescriptions.
Methods
A systematic analysis was conducted on psychotropic medication use in autistic patients aged 0 to 17 years within the SNDS database (covering 99% of the population residing in France) from 2010 to 2022. The study focused on the following classes of medications: N05A antipsychotics, N05B anxiolytics, N05 C hypnotics and sedatives, N06A antidepressants, N06B psychostimulants, N03 antiepileptics, and N04 antiparkinsonians.
Results
Analysis of the SNDS data revealed a high rate of psychotropic medication use among children and adolescents with autism: 36.8% in 2022, including 26.3% among 0–2-year-olds, 27.8% among 3–5-year-olds, 36.5% among 6–11-year-olds, and 41.7% among 12–17-year-olds. The use of psychotropic medications in autistic patients aged 0 to 17 years remained stable between 2010 (31.8%) and 2019 (31.6%) but increased from 2019 to 2022 (36.8%). However, disparities are observed across treatment subclasses: a decrease in antiepileptics (N03A) (7.5% in 2010 to 3.9% in 2022), antiparkinsonians (N04A) (2.2% in 2010 to 1.2% in 2022), antipsychotics (N05A) (18.6% in 2010 to 16.1% in 2022), and anxiolytics (N05B) (10.2% in 2010 to 8.3% in 2022); and an increase in hypnotics (N05C) (0.7% in 2010 to 15.4% in 2022), antidepressants (N06A) (2.5% in 2010 to 3.8% in 2022), and psychostimulants (N06B) (6.3% in 2010 to 11.9% in 2022). These prescription rates are accompanied by significant consumption volumes, with an average of 18 to 19 boxes per year per child and treatment durations exceeding 10 years. Polypharmacy is prevalent, and associated biological monitoring is insufficient. The social disadvantage rate within this population was 43.5% in 2022.
Discussion
The findings are discussed in light of international scientific consensus, recommendations from health agencies, and contemporary initiatives focusing on deprescription practices in autism care for children and adolescents. Further research is needed to explore the potential adverse effects of these medications, the clinical reasons for their prescriptions, and the most suitable therapeutic strategies for autistic children.

The introduction by the Lancet Commission in 2022 of the notion of “profound” autism raised a number of questions, mainly concerning its definition and the proposed criteria. Between advocates of neurodiversity and “frank” autism on the one hand, and families faced with complex situations in which their child is severely mentally handicapped and requires day-to-day care on the other, the search for a consensus has been difficult, even if the notion of “spectrum” could have appeared as a solution.

In the autism spectrum disorder, difficulties in understanding figurative language have been widely documented in the scientific literature. This review aims to examine the state of current knowledge by focusing specifically on the understanding of idiomatic expressions. Due to their semantic opacity and conventional nature, these expressions cannot be understood from the sole literal meaning of the words that compose them. This review explores the information processing strategies favored by autistic people to understand idioms and put them into perspective with the underlying cognitive mechanisms, including central coherence, executive functions and theory of mind. What should be retained from this synthesis is that the understanding of idiomatic expressions in individuals with autism relies on a complex interaction between their linguistic abilities and their capacity to integrate contextual information, a process influenced by their cognitive particularities. Finally, the interest of integrating these tasks into clinical assessments is discussed to refine the analysis of pragmatic skills and to propose educational and therapeutic interventions targeting the improvement of the use of context and inference strategies.

Objectives
This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of children hospitalized for psychiatric reasons in the context of increasing demand and limited resources.
Patients and methods
A retrospective, single-center observational study was conducted using hospitalization data from August 2020 to August 2022. Participants included children under 15 years old hospitalized for psychiatric reasons.
Results
The study included 764 hospitalizations, with an average age of 13.3 years, of whom 73.3% were female. The average length of hospitalization was 4.6 days. Suicide crises accounted for 73.8% of the hospitalization reasons. Approximately 14% of all stays led to referral to a child pediatric psychiatry service inpatient unit.
Discussion
A strength of this study is the completeness of its data. Its limitations include the single-center design and lack of prior data. Subgroups, such as those under social or judicial measures, highlight the need for collaboration with social partners. The increase in referrals and the challenges of guiding prepubertal populations underscore the need for expanded child psychiatry resources, both inpatient and outpatient.
Conclusion
This single-center study highlights most hospitalizations for suicidal crises in young female patients with complex care pathways. It emphasizes the need for a reasoned strengthening of child psychiatric care and calls for further multicenter studies to better understand the national situation.

Background
The problem of the therapeutic alliance seems very present and specific in child psychiatry in a transcultural situation. The purpose of this article is to make an inventory of the practices and uses of child psychiatrists in Haute-Garonne when they are confronted with a lack of therapeutic alliance in a transcultural situation. Then, in a second step, to propose avenues for the evolution of practices based on the theoretical developments proposed by the transcultural current developed by Marie Rose Moro, with the aim of improving the therapeutic alliance and therefore the efficiency of care provided to migrant populations.
Method
Twenty-nine psychiatrists out of 58 responded to a questionnaire asking to describe, in a quantitative and qualitative way, the clinical practices with patients from first and second generation migration on the theme of the alliance, its identification, its remediation in the event of default, recourse to interpreters, recourse to specific transcultural or intercultural mechanisms, interest in transcultural concepts, as well as proposals for improving practices.
Results
The results show that the child psychiatrists of Haute-Garonne are generally aware of and interested in the concepts of transcultural psychiatry but that few of them use specific devices which are also few in the territory. The alliance problems encountered are not always related to the cultural particularities of the families. They do not always recognize the importance of interpreters in their functions as “cultural mediators” but more for the translation of the language. Many proposals are emerging to improve practices and resources in the territory.
Conclusions
From these results, avenues for development have emerged at several levels: adapting existing systems through better knowledge and taking into account the cultural specificities of patients, developing knowledge and the use of interpreting as well as to supervisions, set up new specific mechanisms (such as consultation and transcultural mediation) with trained practitioners and organize a network allowing greater clarity and better access to the resources of the territory.
在跨文化情境下的儿童精神病学中，治疗联盟的问题似乎是非常现实和具体的。本文的目的是盘点上加隆儿童精神病学家在跨文化情况下缺乏治疗联盟时的实践和使用情况。然后，在第二步中，根据玛丽·罗斯·莫罗（Marie Rose Moro）提出的跨文化思潮的理论发展，提出实践发展的途径，目的是改善治疗联盟，从而提高向流动人口提供护理的效率。方法58名精神病医生中有29名回答了一份问卷，问卷要求以定量和定性的方式描述第一代和第二代移民患者关于联盟主题的临床实践，其识别，违约时的补救措施，求助于口译员，求助于特定的跨文化或跨文化机制，对跨文化概念的兴趣，以及改进实践的建议。结果上加隆省儿童精神科医生对跨文化精神病学的概念普遍了解和感兴趣，但很少使用特定的设备，这在该地区也是很少的。所遇到的联盟问题并不总是与家庭的文化特殊性有关。他们并不总是认识到口译员作为“文化调解人”的重要性，而是更多地认识到语言翻译的重要性。许多建议正在涌现，以改善香港的做法和资源。从这些结果中，发展途径在几个层面上出现：通过更好的知识和考虑到患者的文化特殊性来调整现有系统，发展知识和使用口译以及监督，与训练有素的从业者建立新的特定机制（如咨询和跨文化调解），并组织一个网络，使更清晰和更好地获取领土资源。

The terms new substances and new behaviors refer to the current practices of young adults in a broad spectrum from recreational use to authentic addictive disorders. Trends have evolved as much in their intensity of consumption as in their uses.
Method
The purpose of this review is to describe current practices among young adults. A literature review was conducted between 2008 and 2024 on the websites PubMed, Google Scholar.
Results
We reviewed several substances and associated behaviors namely; nitrous oxide, poppers, cannabis, cannabinoids, tobacco and related products, and finally the misuse of codeine syrup. Although levels of substance use have generally decreased among young adults, the substances described constitute major public health issues. Indeed, their danger, although little known and trivialized by young people, is considerable. Although the mechanisms of action differ from one molecule to another, the substances described are all at risk of abuse and addiction. The use of these substances exposes one to the risk of physical and psychological complications.
Conclusion
The evolution of practices and the emergence of new products imply changes, both in the choice of prevention measures and in the consumption practices of users. Information for professionals and users is therefore essential to prevent and reduce the risk of harm from these substances.
