Question 1

Anxiety disorder

Answer 1

Unfounded fear or anxiety that interferes with day-to-day functioning and produces clinically significant distress or life impairment

Question 2

Fear circuitry in the brain

Answer 2

Amygdala triggers state of fear,starts the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis. Slower pathway hippo campus and pre-frontal cortex evaluate danger and can stop the fear response

Question 68

Biological dimensions of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders

Answer 68

Fourfold increased risk of OCD among close relatives with this order. Greatest for first-degree relatives although nonshared environmental influences are equally important. 1st° relative’s also show impairment in decision-making planning and mental flexibility so these cognitive characteristics may be an Endo phenotype for OCD. Genetic factors also involved in bed and compulsive hoarding and skin picking although environmental factors play a greater role then in OCD.

Question 69

Neural imaging of OCD

Answer 69

Increased metabolic activity in frontal lobe of left hemisphere-orbitofrontal cortex. suggesting that this area and related neural networks are associated with OCD. Symptoms of OCD suggest deregulation in orbitofrontal-caudate circuit. Orbitofrontal cortex alerts rest of brain when something wrong. If hyperactive produces feeling something deadly wrong. Also decreased activity in caudate nuclei- regulates transmission of impulses. Allows disturbing thoughts to continue unchecked. MRI shows increased activity in caudate nuclei of ind w OCD who were successfully treated with CBT. Also OCD has excessive connectivity between orbitofrontal cortex and prefrontal cortex.

Question 70

Orbital frontal cortex hyper active

Answer 70

Trigger a feeling that something is not right and produced feeling that something is definitely wrong. Further OCD showed decreased activity in a region that regulates transmission of impulses called caudate nuclei

Question 71

SSRIs in OCD

Answer 71

Reduce OCD symptoms by targeting overactive neuralconnections between orbital frontal cortex. Abnormalities and serotonin availability presumed to be associated with OCD based on findings that SSRI’s increase availability of serotonin in the brain. Also drugs that are affected with other anxiety disorders but do not increase serotonin are not effective with OCD. Disruptive transmission of glutamate may influence development of OCD also.Kevin mind a drug the triggers release of glutamate shows free up at reduction of symptoms of individuals with severe OCD.

Individuals with OCD show exaggerated estimates of her a feeling that if they don’t control their thoughts they will be overwhelmed with anxiety and intolerance of uncertaintyalso display thought fusion

Question 75

Thought-fusion.

Answer 75

Distressing thoughts regarding an action event or an object become fused with the action event or object. Having these thoughts produces the same emotions as if the event occurred or the actions were carried out

Prexisting depression anxiety and negative emotions such as hostility and anger. These people react more intensely to a Trumatic them because they ruminate about the event for overestimate the probability. of an adverse events following. Tendency to generalize trauma related stimuli to other situations and avoiding associated situations leads to less opportunity for fear extinction. Disfunctional cognitive thoughts increase likelihood of PTSD.
