Abstract

Although it is estimated that approximately 20 % of adolescents meet criteria for a mental health disorder, among juvenile delinquents, prevalence rates of mental health disorders include estimates of as high as 75 % of the population. While disruptive behavior disorders (i.e., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder) are the most common mental health disorders among the juvenile offender population, research has also found a very high prevalence of internalizing disorders within this group of youth. Internalizing disorders include those mental health disorders that are characterized by symptoms internal to the individual (e.g., negative thoughts and beliefs). There are several internalizing disorders included in the DSM-5, such as mood disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This chapter discusses common mood disorders found in the juvenile delinquency population, including depressive disorders, mood dysregulation disorder, and bipolar disorder. Diagnostic criteria and symptoms are explained for each disorder, as well as etiology and evidence-based treatments available. In addition, research related to the impairments and impacts the particular mental health disability may have on an individual’s cognitive, academic, social-emotional, and behavioral functioning is presented. Finally, a critical discussion is included regarding the manner in which the symptoms, behaviors, and impairments associated with each disorder may impact a youth’s involvement in the juvenile justice system, as well as his or her presentation of risk and competency to stand trial.
