Q

MDD: Psychological factors

  • Stressful life events
  • -Stronger association with initial depressive episode
  • -Long-term stress –> abnormal nucleus accumbens functioning.

Explanation:

  • Stressful live events are associated with that first onset of depression, they’re less associated with recurrent episodes.
  • Long term stress is associated with increased _______, and what we see is that over time, the stress makes the nucleus accumbens _________.
  • The nucleus accumbens is associated with producing _________ in response to pleasure, and what we see in stress and cortisol levels overtime, is that it makes the nucleus accumbens not respond in terms of pleasurable events, and in fact, it can make things worse, and we see this non-response to acute stress.

Q

OCD - Specific Factors

*Behavioral
› Mowrer’s (1947) Two-Process Theory of Avoidance Learning
-Classical and Operant conditioning
-Mowrer proposed that OCD is initiated and maintained by both C.C and O.C.
-You end up w/ this neutral stimulus from C.C that gets paired w/ some ___________ response (fear, anxiety, etc.) and so you end up with this pairing, this neutral stimulus that gets paired with this problematic thought or physiological anxiety reaction. But that’s not enough…what’s going to maintain that is that you’re engaging in behaviors that are going to increase your anxiety.
-Your __________ are sometimes termed, “safety behaviors,” b/c there’s so much distress and anxiety w/ experiencing the obsession that people are engaging in these other behaviors to decrease that anxiety and then they do…so the belief that these compulsions will work means that they work…so then what happens? People keep engaging in the compulsions every time they have the _________.

  • Cognitive
  • _______-______ fusion
  • -It’s the idea that your thoughts and actions are linked.
  • –t’s like if you write on the board, “My husband is going to get hit by a car,” that by writing it on the board, it will increase the chances that it will actually happen. By my putting it out there and writing it out on the board, I have somehow linked that thought with the actual probability of the event happening.
  • _______ _________
  • -The idea is that people don’t like to have these obsessions. They are distressing, and awful, and they don’t like them. So one thing people do is that they try to suppress these obsessions. They try really hard not to think about the obsessions. But what happens if I tell you not to think of a white bear? You can only think of a white bear. “I can’t think about contamination and germs…” You end up thinking about it more.
  • _________ biases/distortions
  • -If someone has contamination concerns, what we see is that they are cognitively bias to notice things that are related to contamination (dirty floors, dirty door knobs, people sneezing) but they’re also interpreting things that are consistent w/ their OCD pathology.

Model of Chronic Stress

  • _________ ________ _______
  • First we are at homeostasis, then there is a stress. Next there is the alarm phase where your body gets ready for the stress.

But now days, there is constantly a stress of something (deadlines, bills, expectation of working more hours, etc.), we see this alarm stage happen, but then nothing changes. So now your body is in this stress-response system and your HPA system continues to function and function, and after a while, your body has nothing left. This is where we see people have stress related illness/symptoms b/c your body can only handle so much.
