Abstract

We present the clinical case of a 15-year-old patient, with no history of Mental Health, who ingress the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit due to behavioral alterations and aggressiveness at home and at school.

It is an example that psychopathology in children and adolescents is not so clearly defined, and that it can take many different forms. It is difficult to establish a dividing line between the psychotic and the affective, between the affective and the personality and even between the normal of the pathology.

We found compatibility with an Autism Spectrum Disorder; Schizotypia and Dissocial Personality Disorder. In the discussion we will discuss the differential diagnosis; focusing on the Disocial Disorder, since it continues to be a controversial topic in Psychiatry; what is it? Is there a difficulty in the diagnosis? Is there a relationship between children and adults? And what is treatment?
