normal, since the child does not fit into any of the above disorders. A.anorexia nervosa, is characterised by more than 15% loss of body weight,and they feel fat.they develop amenorrhea, have binge and purge, but dont have sleep disturbances . they are often model children with good grades. B.conduct disorder children behave aggressively,steal and do not follow rules. they dont have remorse , and they torture animals too. when grown up, they become antisocial personality disorders. C.depression is charecterised by depressed mood, which persists more than 2 weeks. also, anorexia, lack of sleep, early morning awakening, etc. they stay aloof and do not participate in play activity. E.attention deficit hyperactive children , as the name implies , lack attention , and are hyperactive , they cant wait for their turn, blurt out answers, and become very unpopular.they are considered difficult to controll and colicky even by parents. as this particular child does not fit into any of the above disorders it must be NORMAL. A very breif and non-USMLE type of vignette though[/b]
