mental disorder: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)


Although technically not a mental disorder (Physical manifestations dominate this genetically transmitted developmental disorder.), Prader-Willi syndrome is included here because of its behavioral manifestations which can include compulsive skin picking, feeding problems in infancy, temper outbursts, perseveration, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, lying, stealing, stubbornness, and sleep disturbances including sleep apnea.

Also: Prader-Willi Syndrome Association
