DSM Flashcards
neurodevelopment disorders
these disorders first appear in the early development period, and the deficits cause difficulties in personal, social, and academic functioning.
four parts of neurodevelopmental disorders
intellectual disability or intellectual development disorder, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and specific learning disorder
intellectual developmental disorder
are disorders that are usually present at birth and that negatively affect the trajectory of the individual’s physical, intellectual, and/or emotional development.
autism spectrum disorder
is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication.
specific learning disorder
is a relatively new classification that groups together reading-related (dyslexia) and math-related (dyscalculia) disorders under a single umbrella. When a child is diagnosed with specific learning disorder, the particular areas of impairment are described as part of the diagnosis.
bipolar 1
more manic episodes
bipolar 2
more depressive episodes
cyclothymic disorder
chronic condition, hypomanic symptoms that do not cause impairment
delusional disorder
