PsyD Departments of Radiology and Neurology Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis, IN Neuropsychological aspects of psychopathology neuropsychological factors, ascertained through selfand teacher-reports, Kusche et al [14] classified a community-based population of children into one of four groups based on self- and teacher-reports: anxious, externalizing, comorbid anxious/externalizing, and unaffected controls Groups were created using individual and combined reports Children from each of the groups were assessed across multiple variables, including intellectual functioning, academic skill development, performances on select verbal and nonverbal tasks, executive functioning, classroom behavior, and emotional functioning Results revealed that the control group obtained the highest scores with regard to status and functioning, while the comorbid anxious/externalizing group obtained the lowest The singularly classified anxious and externalizing groups obtained scores that fell in between the other two groups This was true for IQ, academic achievement, verbal and nonverbal tasks, emotional understanding, executive functioning, and classroom functioning Interestingly, the anxious group was elevated on externalizing symptoms, and the reverse was true for the externalizing group The authors suggested that their results indicate that a mild overlap exists between the groups However, this lack of difference may speak to the frequent comorbidity of psychopathology under consideration (co-occurring symptoms of anxiety and externalizing behavior), and may call into question the validity of results regarding differences between the two groups The authors conducted discriminant analyses and found that IQ, academic achievement, nonverbal functioning, and executive functioning contributed unique variance in terms of distinguishing the controls from children with psychopathology Statistics were re-analyzed excluding children with IQ scores below 85 One-fourth of the previously significant findings no longer remained so primarily because the Auxious/Externalizing group had a significantly higher percentage of children with low IQ The comparisons between the control group and the pathological groups remained similar With regard to neurocognitive findings, the authors argue that observed patterns of dysfunction for the anxious group suggest that early identification of children with affective symptoms is important given the broad range of deficits and the tendency for these problems to go undetected The authors also highlighted the high rate of comorbid depression, and the value of dividing externalizers into more specific groups (e.g aggressive, impulsive), in addition to differential identification based on teacher and self-reports Davis [15] has reviewed studies of the neuropsychological basis of childhood psychopathology, in order to help school psychologists understand the range and presentation of behavior problems and learning concerns frequently encountered in academic settings While primarily studies of older adolescents and adults, his review of selective findings highlights that depression can interfere with processing speed, attention, and aspects of memory Davis suggests that differential structural findings in individuals with psychopathology, such as amygdala volume abnormalities seen in adults with depression, may relate to the variabilities in memory performance seen with mood disorder earlier in life Davis observes, correctly, that a combination of biological, neuropsychological, and observational approaches are coalescing to tie difficulties with executive functions, memory, and emotional dysregulation with psychopathology Data from a broad range of studies also suggest that with appropriate intervention, either pharmacological or behavioral, improvements in cognitive and neuropsychological profiles may be observed Treatment of psychopathology and its impact on neuropsychological status Pharmacological treatment of psychopathology is not neurocognitively benign Accumulating evidence indicates that many of the pharmacological agents used to treat psychiatric disorders impact aspects of cognitive functioning Given the prevalence of pharmacological interventions and their continued emphasis as a firstline approach to treatment, ongoing research concerning their cognitive effects is strongly needed Barker and colleagues [16] conducted a metaanalysis of 13 studies that investigated the effects of benzodiazepine use on 12 cognitive domains Across the studies, 60% of the participants were female, the average age was 47.6 years, the mean duration of use was 9.9 years, and a variety of benzodiazepines were investigated (most commonly lorazepam and diazepam) The extent to which results can be generalized is complicated by the wide age range (21–75) of the participants as well as the length of time the medication was used (1–34 years) The most frequently measured abilities were verbal memory, working memory, and attention/concentration Effect sizes ranged from 473 Section II: Disorders −0.42 for verbal reasoning to −1.30 for sensory processing, indicating that long-term benzodiazepine users were significantly impaired on a variety of neuropsychological measures Time since last dose was the only moderator that reached significance with respect to its effect on psychomotor speed Based on their results, the authors expressed concern that long-term effects of benzodiazepine use are a potential source of neurocognitive disruption, specifically in adults This has provided additional support to the concern that use of these medications to treat psychopathology, over time, may intensify or exacerbate already subtle to more significant neuropsychological concerns Neuropsychologists working with patients complaining of long-term anxiety and increased memory difficulties are warranted to examine the potential for cumulative effects given medication management of the disorder A similar concern has long been standing regarding the potential impact of selective antiepilepsy medications, including more recently developed compounds such as levetiracetam Children with partial seizure disorders treated with levetiracetam have shown an increased vulnerability to behavioral and mood disruption [17] Because these compounds are more commonly being explored for the treatment of mood difficulties, both in adults and pediatric populations over time, it is imperative that we gain an understanding of the potential impact these drugs may have on functioning, in order to effectively parse what is associated with the disorder, and what is likely to be a medication effect Conclusion 474 Across the chapters in this volume an emphasis has been placed on how both individually, and comorbidly, neuropsychological and psychopathological conditions impact functioning, both at the level of the disorder itself, and with regard to treatments utilized What is also clear is that there remains a significant need to continue to study these relationships, in order to more effectively parse the variety of influences illness and disorder may have on functioning Regardless of the patient’s age, it is important that the information gathered regarding an individual and her or his difficulties, as well as capabilities, be reliable and valid While adults and children often present quite differently, the range of presenting problems across time is similar in its ability to disrupt and affect developmental processes, with a potential for doing so quite dramatically Assessment and treatment of impairments related to psychopathology, both independently and comorbid with known brain pathology, require a careful process of parceling out effects, and involve a broad consideration of what difficulties are at play Taking a hypothesis-driven approach will continue to provide an appropriate avenue for investigating the impact of psychopathology across the lifespan Currently, far more research has been conducted that addresses disorder and treatment effects in adults with psychopathology, as opposed to children This is changing, but at a slow pace As a result, avenues for improved understanding across the lifespan, of both the range of developmental comorbidities that exist, and the more general impact mood and behavioral disorders can have on neuropsychological functioning, requires an increased emphasis in research Utilizing multidisciplinary approaches to investigation, taking advantage of multiple sources of data, and taking into account the variable impact treatments may have on status are all important guidelines for advancing our knowledge By better defining the impact psychopathology may have on functioning, as well as potential treatment effects that exist, neuropsychology will be better situated to guide future avenues of etiological theorization and intervention References Ruocco AC, Kunchandy E, Lacy M Psychopathological conditions in adults In Donders J, Hunter SJ, eds Principles and Practice of Lifespan Developmental
