Nonorganic Enuresis

A disorder characterized by involuntary voiding of urine, by day and by night, which is abnormal in relation to the individual’s mental age, and which is not a consequence of a lack of bladder control due to any neurological disorder, to epileptic attacks, or to any structural abnormality of the urinary tract. The enuresis may or may not be associated with a more widespread emotional or behavioral disorder.

Nonorganic Encopresis

Repeated, voluntary or involuntary passage of feces, usually of normal or near-normal consistency, in places not appropriate for that purpose in the individual’s own sociocultural setting. The condition may occur as a monosymptomatic disorder, or it may form part of a wider disorder, especially an emotional disorder or a behavioral disorder.

Food-Intake Disorder in Infancy and Childhood

A feeding disorder of varying manifestations usually specific to infancy and early childhood. It generally involves food refusal and extreme choosiness in the presence of an adequate food supply, a reasonably competent caregiver, and the absence of any organic disease.

Pica in Infancy and Childhood

Persistent eating of non-nutritive substances (such as soil, sand etc.). It may occur as one of many symptoms that are part of a more widespread psychiatric disorder (such as autism).

Stereotyped Movement disorders

Voluntary, repetitive, stereotyped, nonfunctional (and often rhythmic) movements that do not form part of any recognized psychiatric or neurological condition.

• The movements that are of a non-self-injurious variety include: body-rocking, head-rocking, hair-plucking, hair-twisting, finger-flicking mannerisms, and hand-flapping.

• Stereotyped self-injurious behavior includes repetitive head-banging, face-slapping, eye-poking, and biting of hands, lips or other body parts.
