1. Enuresis

   Enuresis is a repeated inability to control urination. Use of the term is usually limited to describing people old enough to be expected to exercise such control. Involuntary urination is also known as urinary incontinence. The term "enuresis" comes from the Ancient Greek: ἐνούρησις, romanized: enoúrēsis. Enuresis has been previously viewed as a psychiatric condition, however, scientific evidence has shown this view to be unsupported through current understanding of the condition and its underlying causes.Management of enuresis varies and includes either mitigation via specialized nightwear or bedding, or identification and correction of the underlying cause, behavioral therapy, and the use of medications.

1. Enuresis

   Enuresis, refers to a repeated inability to control urination. Use of the term is usually limited to describing individuals old enough to be expected to exercise such control. History: Found evidence of mention in Egyptian medical texts as early as 1550 B.C. Types of enuresis include: ⁕Nocturnal enuresis ⁕Diurnal enuresis ⁕Mixed enuresis - Includes a combination of nocturnal and diurnal type. Therefore, urine is passed during both waking and sleeping hours. Classification: 1. Primary enuresis refers to children who have never been successfully trained to control urination. This represents a fixation. 2. Secondary enuresis refers to children who have been successfully trained but revert to wetting in a response to some sort of stressful situation. This represents a regression. Current DSM-IV-TR Criteria: a. Repeated voiding of urine into bed or clothes b. Behavior must be clinically significant as manifested by either a frequency of twice a week for at least 3 consecutive months or the presence of clinically significant distress or impairment in social, academic, or other important areas of functioning. c. Chronological age is at least 5 years of age. d. The behavior is not due exclusively to the direct physiological effect of a substance or a general medical condition. All these criteria must be met in order to diagnose an individual.
