Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elimination disorders, such as enuresis (involuntary urination) and encopresis (involuntary defecation), are diagnosed when a child has reached an age at which they are expected to control their bodily functions, typically around the age of 5 years. Physical illness or medication causing the symptoms would lead to a different diagnosis, and hiding the disorder is not a diagnostic criterion.
