In our clinical practice, we frequently encounter patients with conditions such as autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The developmental disorders, alongside the presence of OCD symptoms, could be explained by the concomitant presence of epileptic-like disorders. This fact led us to theorize that epileptic-like disorders might not just be comorbidities but potential underlying causes of these three conditions. We present two clinical cases of patients with varying severity of ASD, OCD, and ADHD, yet both showed signs suggesting a shared epileptic-like root.
Treatment adjustments, including anti-epileptic medication and Pregabalin, notably improved both cases' symptoms and quality of life. Our experience suggests that tailoring anti-epileptic treatment can benefit individuals with ASD, OCD, and ADHD across different clinical profiles and intellectual levels, supporting our hypothesis.
Further research is needed to evaluate this hypothesis quantitatively. Studying a larger sample size could provide more robust evidence and potentially refine treatment approaches for these complex conditions.

Group psychoanalysis originated to treat trauma, particularly what we now refer to as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since its inception during World War II, group therapy has been widely used to address trauma, whether anthropogenic or natural in origin. In this paper, we provide a concise description of the various group approaches to trauma treatment and the current knowledge of their effectiveness. We conclude with a brief account of a group intervention conducted with mothers of disabled children in an Indian institute.

The document presents the experience of Dr. Annie Lufungula Lokotolo at the Mental Development Psychiatric Unit (UPDM), where she treats complex cases of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). She emphasizes the importance of teamwork to optimize care. After leaving the University Hospitals of Geneva, she receives numerous requests in private practice.
Sébastien and his family flee their country to escape poverty and oppression, viewing Switzerland as a land of peace and prosperity. In Switzerland, Sébastien and his sister face difficulties integrating into school and society, leading to a psychiatric consultation.
The therapy begins with the family being reluctant to express themselves. The diagnosis of Sébastien’s intellectual disability causes pain and anxiety, but the family gradually learns to accept his limitations while recognizing his qualities.
Sébastien undergoes training in horticulture, his sister in catering, and their mother in cleaning, each becoming more autonomous. The family benefits from better social and professional support and no longer feels marginalized.
The therapist expresses satisfaction in having accompanied the family through their difficult but fruitful journey, highlighting the importance of social and therapeutic support for better adaptation and quality of life. .

The educational work I have been doing for a number of years in an institution aimed at the social integration of people with disabilities always arouses in me as much enthusiasm and passion as it does questions. In my opinion, as long as we act routinely, and with the full conviction that we're doing the right thing, that's where ignorance, authoritarianism and abuse come in. Today, we have a great deal of theoretical knowledge and practical methods that are supposed to help us in our educational work: in the social sciences, education and psychology, as well as in medicine. Nothing, however, is simply applicable and requires a thoughtful assessment, adapted to a particular person or situation, which often happens, by chance. We have the right to be wrong, and in any case this is inevitable. We make mistakes every day and in every profession. Nonetheless, in my vision of practising my profession, I feel it's necessary to come back to the error with a personal inner analysis, in a team and/or in supervision. Without return, without reflection and questioning of our practice, nothing can evolve favorably. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
