Eating disorder in a 6-year-old Asian girl with ethyl malonic adipic aciduria.
Accurate data are not available for the prevalence of eating disorders amongst the Asian population in Britain. Only a handful of cases have been reported in the literature [Bhadrinath (1990). British Journal of Psychiatry, 156, 565-568.] suggested that it is an uncommon phenomenon despite Dolan's recent finding [Dolan, Lacey, & Evans (1990). British Journal of Psychiatry, 157, 523-528.] that there were elevated Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) scores in a sample of young Asian adults compared with Caucasians. We report a case of an Asian girl with a rare inborn error of metabolism and an eating disorder.

Deliberate self-poisoning in Asian and Caucasian 12-15-year-olds.
The mean annual rates of hospital admission for deliberate self-poisoning were calculated for Caucasian and Asian 12-15-year-olds between 1982 and 1990 as 2.31 and 2.47 per 1000 respectively. There was an excess of girls in each group.

Ethnic differences in adolescent self-poisoning: a comparison of Asian and Caucasian groups.
A study of self-poisoning in 25 Asian and 25 Caucasian adolescents is presented. Cultural conflicts were the most important factors in the parasuicidal behaviour of Asian children, whereas a variety of factors accounted for the parasuicidal behaviour of Caucasians with a predominance of a disrupted family background. There was little difference in the type of poisoning and the degree of pre-planning between the two groups.

Pre-pubertal depressive stupor: a case report.
A case of childhood affective disorder with episodes of depressive stupor in a 13-year-old pre-pubertal boy is described. Changes in the patient's clinical state were accompanied by changes in the dexamethasone suppression test. A family history of affective illness on the maternal side, with phenomenological similarities, is noted.
