Symptoms may be self-reported or observed. At least one of the symptoms must be a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure. These symptoms must occur nearly every day. They result in significant distress or impairment in a major area of functioning (such as social, occupational, educational, etc.) and are not attributable to the effects of a drug or some other medical condition.

A
  • Depressed mood most of the day (this may present as irritability in children or adolescents)
  • Significantly reduced interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day
  • Significant weight changes when not dieting (at least a 5% change) OR significant change in appetite (for children this may include failure to achieve expected weight gains)
  • Inability to sleep (insomnia) or sleeping too much (hypersomnia)
  • Psychomotor agitation or retardation (this symptom requires observation by others and cannot be self-reported)
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt (not just guilt over being sick) which may also be due to delusions

Q

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by the presence of manic, hypomanic, and major depressive episodes, whereas bipolar II does not include the presence of mania. What are symptoms of Mania?

• Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity;
• Decreased need for sleep;

Q

How are characteristics of Mania and Hypomania different?

A

They are the same as with Mania, but less severe. Mania typically necessitates hospitalization to avoid harm to self or others while Hypomania is not not as distressing. It does not cause marked functional impairment. If the symptoms cause marked impairment then it is Mania not Hypomania.

A

○ Delusions: Fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence. They may include a variety of themes (persecutory, referential, somatic, religious, grandiose).

Q

Schizoaffective disorder is one of the more common, chronic, and disabling mental illnesses. As the name implies, it is characterized by a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and an affective (mood) disorder. There has been a controversy about whether schizoaffective disorder is a type of schizophrenia or a type of mood disorder. Today, most clinicians and researchers agree that it is primarily a form of schizophrenia. What are the 4 criteria?

A

A diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder has four criteria (and must also meet depressive episode criteria for depressed mood):

  • An uninterrupted period of illness which includes a major mood episode (major depressive or manic) and which is consistent with schizophrenia (criterion A) symptoms: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, gross disorganization/catatonia, and negative symptoms–at least two of these must have been present for a significant amount of time and at least one of symptoms must be delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech;
  • Throughout the duration of (lifetime of) the illness, delusions or hallucinations are present for two or more weeks in the absence of a major mood episode (major depressive or manic);
  • Symptoms meeting the criteria for a major mood episode are present throughout the majority of the total duration of the illness (active and residual);
  • The disturbance is not the result of a substance or other medical condition.
125
Q

Anxiety disorder (lasting longer than 6 months)- selective mutism

A

• Selective mutism occurs when failure to speak presents in circumstances where speaking is expected (e.g. in school). The individual may speak in other situations. There are markedly negative consequences for the failure to speak in major life domains (e.g. school, work, social communication).

Q

Anxiety disorder (lasting longer than 6 months)- Social Anxiety Disorder

a disturbance due to an individual’s fear, anxiety, and/or avoidance of social interaction and the possibility of being scrutinized. These situations may include meeting unfamiliar people, eating or drinking in public, or when performing in front of others.

128
Q

Anxiety disorder (lasting longer than 6 months)-Panic disorder

A

• Panic disorder is the experience of persistent unanticipated episodes of intense panic with the fear of having more attacks or maladaptive behavior due to the panic attacks (e.g. avoidance behavior). Panic attacks are abrupt surges of intense fear or discomfort peaking in minutes and are accompanied by physical and cognitive symptoms (there must be four or more of 13 symptoms). At least one of the attacks must be followed by one month of either worry or concern regarding having additional attacks and a maladaptive change in behavior associated with or toward avoiding potential future attacks. Limited-symptom panic attacks present with four or fewer symptoms. Panic attacks are not considered a disorder in and of themselves. They may occur within any anxiety disorder and may serve as a marker for prognosis, diagnosis, severity, course, and comorbidity of anxiety and other mental disorders.

129
