Q

The SSRIs/SnRI

SSRI’s increase suicidal thought, not completion

A

-setraline, escitalopram recommended after acute mi due to low interaction with cardiac drugs, basically the safest of the safe
-setraline - breast feeding
-avoid citalopram post MI as there is dose dependent QT prolongation
-generally avoid paroxetine (Paxil): anticholinergic, causes weight gain, inhibits p-450, most likely to cause withdrawal
- FLUOXETINE: indicated for children, PMS/PMDD, most studied for intermittent explosive disorder, bulimia nerviosa
———————————————-
-venlafaxine causes tachycardia and increased blood pressure
-venlafaxine and fluoxetine are both ACTIVATING

44
Normal social development order
10 months: says mama and dada 2 years: 200 words, 2 word sentences 3 years: 1000 words 4 years: uses complete sentences and prepositions, can tell complete stories (legendary)
45
Normal relational development
-A vital task of infancy (0-18 months) is to establish a secure sense of trust that occurs in the relationship with one’s responsive caregiver. -Toddlers (1.5-3 yrs) struggle with the increasing understanding that they are a separate being from their caregiver, and they practice separating and reuniting with their caregiver as a way to consolidate their sense of separateness and autonomy. Preschool (3-6 yrs) children’s identification with strong and powerful characters such as superheroes helps them cope with their own feelings of smallness and inadequacy (as compared to their parents). This stage is also called the Oedipal phase; at this time children typically experience longings toward the parent of the opposite sex and jealousy and hostility toward the same sex parent. -School age (7-12 yrs) children develop the ability to think more logically and concretely and thus can identify that equal amounts of liquid in two differently shaped containers hold the same amount; once they are able to grasp this concept of conversation of liquids, children have progressed into the stage of concrete operations, where they can consistently hold onto more than one dimension at a time. Adolescents (13-17) further advance in cognitive abilities, finally developing the ability to think in an abstract fashion (reaching the stage Piaget described as formal operations).
46
Avoidant/ restrictive food intake | disorder (ARFID)
ex: This can be due to a lack of interest in eating or food, avoidance of certain foods due to taste/texture or anxiety about health consequences or choking - no issue with body image, do not fear weight gain - aware they are losing weight
47
Mature defense mechanisms
Humor is considered a mature defense mechanism that emphasizes the amusing or ironic aspects of a stressor Suppression is where a person consciously holds back unwanted behavior or thought to carry out daily function Sublimation - taking social unacceptable thoughts and expressing them in a socially expressible way. (ex. taking up kickboxing)
48
What happens if an SSRI has no response?
Switch to another SSRI or an SNRI. Can consider ECT as well. this is different from PARTIAL response where you would use augmentation therapies such as atypical, lithium or T3.
49
Criteria of schizo
For at least 6 months, 1 of the following 1. Delusions 2.Hallucinations 3. Disorganized SPEECH + 4. Grossly disorganized behavior (ex disheveled) 5. Apathy, alogia, avolition, anhedonia, attention deficit
50
Other than antipsychotics which other drugs can cause EPS?
Anti emetic agents like Procholrperazine, Metoclopramide can cause Extra pyramidal symptoms.
51
Misleading Marijuana
"Bad trip": 20 minutes of getting high > cotton mouth, anxious 'affect' (not anxiety), paranoia, impaired concentration and repeating herself is losing STM,conjunctival injection, tachycardia (from anxiety)
52
Catanoia
This is a case of catatonia. Patient doesn't follow commands, resist movement, flat affect, echolalia (meaningless repetition), echopraxia (meaningless repeitition), mutism, all these are symptoms of catatonia. **treat with Lorazepam. if the patient begins to become unstable or requires high doses of lorazepam (>20 mg/ d), or if his blood pressure/ pulse do not tolerate the titration of lorazepam, ECT would be the appropriate course of action.
53
How to tx HTN crisis?
Phentolamine or Nitroprusside
54
FAS vs Down syndrome
FAS: - smooth, long philtrum - thin vermillion border - microcephaly (small forehead) - SHORT palpebral fissures (short eye width) Down syndrome: - epicanthal folds (not specific) - small low set ears - large tongue - short extremities, neck - UPSLANTING palpebral fissures
55
REM Sleep behavior disorder Nightmare disorder N-REM Sleep Arousal disorder
REM Sleep Behavior: Dream enactment can occur if the muscle atonia that usually accompanies REM sleep is absent or incomplete. These behaviors are more likely to occur during the latter part of the night, when the percentage of REM sleep is higher. Patients can be awakened quickly, and after very transient confusion can become fully alert. They may not recall their movements during sleep but can recall their dreams. REM sleep behavior disorder is more likely to occur in older adult men. If frequent and recurrent, it may be a prodromal sign of neurodegeneration in patients with Parkinson disease or dementia with Lewy bodies. Nightmare disorder: vivid recall of disturbing dream content. However, unlike REM sleep behavior disorder, it is not associated with motor activity or sleep-related injury NREM Sleep Arousal Disorder: Sleep terrors and SLEEPWALKING are examples of non-REM sleep arousal disorders that typically occur in younger patients during deep non-REM sleep. In contrast to REM sleep behavior disorder, they typically occur during the first third of the sleep period. There is a longer period of confusion before becoming fully alert, and individuals do not recall any concurrent dreams.
56
Delusional disorder vs schizophrenia
-usually NONbizarre delusions -daily function not impaired (if they are hearing voices that satisfies schizophrenia)
57
Doxepin
TCA derivative used for insomnia, depression - extremely strong antihistamine - anticholinergic
58
PMDD vs PMS
PMS: - mood swings, anxiety - difficulty concentrating - decreased libido - irritability PMDD - prominent irritability - hopelessness - depressed mood - self critical thoughts - greater functional impairment
59
Medical therapy of NMS
Lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, is used 1 to 2 mg IM or IV every four to six hours. ●Dantrolene is a direct-acting skeletal muscle relaxant and is effective in treating malignant hyperthermia. \ Efficacy includes reduction of heat production as well as rigidity, and effects are reported within minutes of administration. There is associated risk of hepatotoxicity, and dantrolene should probably be avoided if liver function tests are very abnormal. ●Bromocriptine, a dopamine agonist, is prescribed to restore lost dopaminergic tone. It is well tolerated in psychotic patients. ●Amantadine has dopaminergic and anticholinergic effects and is used as an alternative to bromocriptine. An initial dose is 100 mg orally or via gastric tube and is titrated upward as needed to a maximum dose of 200 mg every 12 hours.
