Provide a brief account of enuresis.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Enuresis is failure to control the bladder (urination) once the "normal" age for achieving bladder control has been reached. The American Psychiatric Association (2013) places the cutoff age at five years and does not consider "accidents" to represent enuresis unless they occur at least twice a month for five- and six-year-olds.It is believed that enuresis might have organic causes, most often immaturity of the motor cortex of the brain (Lucas et al., 2015). Just as children outgrow sleep terrors and sleepwalking, they tend to outgrow bed-wetting (Lucas et al., 2015).
