symptoms do not indicate maj
if they occur wihin two monhs of bereavement -be deprived of a loved one through a profound absence, especially due to the loved one's death- as they may be part of a normal grieving reaction
238
seasonal affective disorder
refered by DSM 5 as MDD with seasonal patterns, episodes of depression occur during certain seasons usually fall and winter
239
persistent deressive disorder PDD
aka dysthymic disorder or dysthymia
| less intense but more chronic form of depression
240
person with PDD
has experienced milder symptoms of depression most days for at least 2 years, with symptoms never absent for more than two months but wih out a major depressive episode
241
onset of PDD
typically adolescence or early adulhood
persistence of condition often leaves people feeling like they have always felt thsi way or as if they are depressed person to their core
242
premenstrual dysphoric disorder diagnosis occurs only
in women
243
pre symptoms

negative symptoms ex
include decreased emotional expression ( presentation of flat affect) , avolition ( lack of motvation or purpose, alogia ( decreased or absent speech)
253
- symptoms
generally those in which there is a decrease or lack of a typcal behavior or ther characteristics

four disorders in schizo+ rel section
delusional
brief psychotic
schizophreniform
schizophrenia
258
delusion

belief that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary
259
ex of delusion
a person may believe he or she is a certain movie star
260
delusion vs strongly held belief
differs in intensity and plausibility
261
delusional disordder
one or more delusions have been present for at least a month and counterevidence is gnerally denied or distorted to keep the delusion intact
262
common delusions
erotomania ( belief someone is in love with you)
grandiosity ( belief you have special talent or insight)
persecution ( belief you are being followed drugged, harrased and so on )
263
brief psychotic disorder diagnosis
when any positive symptoms are present for at least one day but symptoms last less than one monthsand there are no negative symptoms
264
positive symptoms ex
delusions, hallucinations , disorganized speech or disorganized behavior
265
+ symptoms
so called because they are thinking or behaviour that the person with schizophrenia did not have before they became ill and so can be thought of as being added to their psyche. Positive symptoms include hallucinations such as hearing voices and delusions such as paranoid thoughts
266
Negative symptoms
so called because they describe thoughts or behaviour that the person used to have before they became ill but now no longer have or have to a lesser extent and so have been lost or taken away from their psyche. It describes normal aspects of the person’s behaviour that they no longer have. Negative symptoms can include lethargy and apathy
267
definitive of brief psychotic disorder
full remission ( period in which symptoms become less severe) within one month of onset
268
duration of brief psychotic disorder
in the spectrum, represents the schizophrenia of shortest duration
269
hallucination
false sensory perception that occurs while the persion is concious ( not during sleep or delirium )
270
delirium
acutely disturbed state of mind that occurs in fever, intoxication, and other disorders and is characterized by restlessness, illusions, and incoherence of thought and speech
271
hallucinations vs illusions
hallu: occur in absence of related sensory stimuli
| ilu: misconceptions of actual sensory stimuli ( which may occur in low light
272
most common hallu
are auditory or visual
273
schizopheniform disorder
occupies middle position in schizo spectrum
person experiences at least 1 + symptom but can also experience one or more negative symptoms for at least 1 month and no longer than siz months
274
remission and pheniform
remission can often occur faster with effective drug treatment
275
schizo on spectrum of schizo
at the end of the spectrum

292
distinct identities may
vary widely in age, gender and personality traits and they may or may not be aware of each other
293
dis id disorder previoulsy known as
multiple personality disorder NOT schizophrenia
294
dissociative amnesia
has had at least one episode of forgetting some imp personal info, creating gaps in memory that are usualyy related to severe stress or trauma
295
patient with diss amnesia
may wander aimlessly during episode or experience it as a kind of journey in what is called dissociative fugue
296
dissociative fugue
one or more episodes of amnesia in which an individual cannot recall some or all of his or her past
297
Dissociative Identity Disorder
describes cases where two or more distinct personalities or distinct identities seem to exist within a single body. And both of these identities have some kind of influence on that person's thoughts or behaviors.
298
both identities
have their own mannerisms. They can have different emotional responses
299
Research indicates that individuals who've been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder
have a history of child abuse, or some other kind of extreme life stressor. And there are a lot of different theories as to how this could happen, but they all seem to center on a central idea, which is that under cases of extreme stress, a person's conscious awareness disassociates, or separates from, certain painful memories, or thoughts, or feelings
300
How common is Dissociative Identity Disorder?
Dissociative Identity Disorder is extremely rare
301
Others wonder if this is a disorder than can be induced
by therapists
maybe a therapist who knows about this disorder, and suspects that someone might have it, might say things like, "Do you ever feel like there is another part of you? "Maybe a part of you that you aren't always aware of?" And then from there, that can be taken even further. They might ask something like, "Does this part have a name? "Can I speak to this part?" And in response to this, the individuals who are seeking therapy might intentionally or unintentionally play along with what the therapist is saying.
302

outdated division between the mind and the body
344
schizophrenia is a
neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis
345
twin studies schizo
show that if 1 twin has diseas second twin has 50% chanc of having it if second twin does not have schizo he or she are likely to have lesser form of it
346
onset of schizo
can happen around adolescence
347
stress diathesis theory
suggests that while genetic inheritance provides biological predisposition for schizo stressor elicit onset of disease
348
dopamine hypothesis for schizo
formed from observations
| suggests that one pathway for neuro dopa is hyperactive inpeopel with schizo
349
hyperactive dopa due to
due to overabundance in dopa and to hypersensitive dopa receptors
evidence regarding temporal lobes in people with this condition may explain the presence of positive signs of schizophrenia like auditory hallucinations
350
antipsychotic medications
dopamine antagonist medications can be found to be helpful for dealing antipsychoticss
351
hypoactivation of frontal lobes
may be responsible for negative signs of schizophrenia
| creating a kind of pseudodepression, flat affect and impaired speech
352
individuals with schizophrenia brains
have been found to be smaller due to atrophy : schizo individuals display increased ventricles cavities in the brain and enlarged sulci and fissures less folding
353
depression genetic basis
strong increased risk of developing depression when a first degree family member has it
inked to diminishing functioning in pathways in brainthat involve dopa , serotonin and norepi
354
antideressants
target and stimulate pathways that are diminished in functioning due to deression
355
depression and other diseases
can often accompany other neuro diseases such as , such as parkinsonès and traumatic bran injury due to damage to simiilar or overlapping areas in the brain

366
why plaques and tagles form
unclear though there is some evidence of partial genetic susceptiility
367
theory regarding plaque build up
plaque build up reach a critical mass and bein to cause cell death by gunking up neuronal connections , preventig nutrents and waste from travelling to and from some neurons
368
current treatments Alz
directed at slowing the progress of the illness rather than reversing it
