ADHD stands for Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; it is a disorder that occurs during childhood development and presents signs of reduced attention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. This study presented the direct association between emotional ability and spectral analysis of electroencephalography of Mongolian children with ADHD. Of a total of 1200 children, who were attending primary schools in Ulaanbaatar, 30 children were diagnosed with ADHD according to Teachers' and Parents' survey versions of DSM-IV ("Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders"). The sample consisted of 60 children aged 7-12 years (20 % female and 80 males; M age = 9.34, SD = 0.96): 30 children diagnosed with ADHD and 30 healthy children as a control group and presented the same sociodemographic characteristics of the study sample. They all completed Bar-On Quotient Inventory Youth Version (EQ-i: YV), and performed electroencephalography (EEG). Results indicated that children with ADHD presented significantly lower scores in interpersonal scales, adaptability, general mood scales, and total EQ scores than the control group. Comparing forms of ADHD, the intrapersonal scale statistically differed between the hyperactive and combined forms (p = 0.021) and the adaptability scale between attention deficit and the combined form (p = 0.026). Moreover, the study found a statistically significant increase in the posterior delta and theta power, whereas there was a decrease in theta/beta and theta/alpha wave ratio in all brain parts in the ADHD group concerning the healthy group.

OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder in the pediatric population, often accompanied by comorbidities, drug-related burdens, and psychosocial issues. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a crucial aspect of neurocognitive functioning that may be impaired in various clinical conditions. This study aimed to assess EI and its associated risk factors in children with epilepsy. METHODS: In a case-control design, we recruited 47 children with epilepsy (37 males, mean age 10.5 ± 3.1 years) and age- and gender-matched controls. Participants were evaluated using the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-I:YV). We included risk factors, including comorbidities, perinatal complications, epilepsy characteristics, and magnetic resonance imaging results to predict EI. RESULTS: Results indicate that children with epilepsy demonstrated significantly lower EI scores compared to controls (Total EQ score: p = 0.031, intrapersonal: p < 0.001, adaptability: p = 0.03, and general mood: p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that lower total EQ scores were associated with the number of anti-epileptic drugs, age, seizure frequency, MRI abnormalities, aura, and early onset of seizures. CONCLUSIONS: The study provides evidence that children with epilepsy exhibit lower EQ scores than control group, with notable differences in intrapersonal skills, adaptability, and general mood. Additionally, age, and some seizure-related factors predicted decreased total EQ scores. These findings emphasize the need to consider EI in the context of pediatric epilepsy, as impaired EI may contribute to further psychosocial challenges faced by affected children.
