Q

Adaptive versus Maladaptive Fear

A

realistic concerns => unrealistic concerns
e.g. concern is unfounded - unlikely to happen
proportional => disproportional
the amount of fear experience
excessive distress
subsides upon removal of threat => persists after threat also anticipatory anxiety
worked up agitated state of anticipation

incontrollable and helpless
impairing functioning

Panic Disorder (PD)

A

• Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks (PAs)
• Followed by 1+ month of (at least one): – Persistent concern about having another PA
– Persistent concern about implications of PAs – Significant change in behaviour

Q

Panic Disorder (PD)

A

important for diagnosing panic disorder: only when there’s at least 2 uncued panic attacks
at least 1 month or longer after - constant fear of having another attack and/or the implications of having a heart attack
change in behaviour: e.g. stop riding the subway because it happened there last time - can’t go to work
uncued becomes cued - come to fear that situation or place - would still be diagnosed as PD

Epidemiology

A

-some disorders such as social anxiety are more common, while mutism is rare because we are ruling it out
anxiety disorders more common in female
manifestation may be different by gender
boys may show indirect symptom - e.g. boys say they have nightmares instead of I don’t wanna go to school
gender differences emerge depending on specific object of phobia
emerge most frequently in adolescents, but in youth may show remission later on
social phobia: males more often diagnosed with because it is inconsistent with expectations of masculinity

A
  • Poorly regulated fight-or-flight responses

* Overreactive autonomic nervous system

84
Q

Biological Approach: Psychophysiological Theories

A

-might be sensitive to bodily reactions when exposed to fear stimulus
same experience of hyperventilating can cause more intense reactions in other ppl
might be sensitively attuned to bodily reactions when exposed to fear stimulus

85
Q

Biological Approach: Genetic Theories

A 
twin studies: genetic transmission
more frequent in families with probands of anxiety disorders
range of heritability:
PD - more narrow confidence intervals
SAD - larger range across studies-

• Dopaminergicsystem (DRD4;DRD2)
• Modulation of monoamine metabolism (MAOA; COMT)

89
Q

Biological Approach: Genetic Theories

A

-serotonergic: involves negative emotions
dopaminergic: excessive or lack of receptors through generations
degradation of serotonin

proposed to be related

Biological Approach: Neurotransmitter Theories

A

Poor regulation of NTs – NE (stimulating)
– 5-HT (mood regulation)
– GABA (inhibitory)
• GAD: Deficiency of GABA or GABA receptors

93
Q

Biological Approach: Neurotransmitter Theories

A

Norepinephrine - physiological hyperactivity in anxiety disorders
serotonin - insufficient may be implicate in anxiety disorders
GABA: calming effect - regulating emotion
insufficient not being able to habituate to novel stimuli
related to GAD - worrying about everything because we’re not getting used to them

Personality/Temperament Traits & Anxiety

A

• Neuroticism/Negative Affectivity (Kotov et al., 2010) • Behavioral inhibition (Kagan)
– Risk for social phobia

97
Q

Personality/Temperament Traits & Anxiety

A

-more phenotypic, but influenced by heritable genes
high in neuroticism: more prone to anxiety disorder
tendency to display inhibition
high: more likely to be extremely inhibited in new situations
e.g. vulnerable to social phobia

Q

Psychological Approach: Cognitive Theories

A

  • Hyper-vigilant to potential threat
  • Cognitive self-evaluation model (social phobia)
100
Q

Psychological Approach: Cognitive Theories

A

attribution to physical symptoms
catastrophic interpretation of events
misinterpretation of events

people with extremely high standards in social performance situations
assume everyone will judge them harshly
sensitive to misinterpreting social judgement cues

Q

Triple Vulnerability Model

A

Biological Vulnerability
Heritable contribution to negative affect
Specific Psychological Vulnerability Catastrophic interpretations (e.g., of physical sensations)
Generalized Psychological Vulnerability External locus of control

possession of all three most at risk to developing a disorder

specific psychological vulnerability: maladaptive interpretations

Psychological Approach: Behavioural Theories

A

Acquired through classical conditioning – Can occur via observational learning
• Maintained through operant conditioning

107
Q

Psychological Approach: Behavioural Theories

A

e. g. got stung by bee, conditioned to fear them
e. g. or seeing someone get stung by a bee
e. g. running away from bee, anxiety subsides so operantly conditioned to run away

Q

Biological Treatments

A

Tricyclic antidepressants
 Increase levels of NTs (e.g., norepinephrine)
 Serotonin reuptake (SSRIs)  Increase levels of serotonin
 Benzodiazepines
 Suppress CNS and influence NT functioning
▪ NE, 5-HT, and GABA systems

111
Q

Biological Treatments

A

shown to work on certain anxieties
e.g. but don’t give tricyclic to PD, but maybe to GAD

improve regulation of negative disorders

increase GABA - inhibiting physiological responses
addictive, so not given as first treatment

Behavioural Treatments

  • Modelling
  • Flooding (aka Implosive Therapy)
  • Systematic desensitization
115
Q

Behavioural Treatments

A

most effective
modelling: therapist models appropriate reaction

flooding: exposing it all at once
e.g. sending them to a bee farm
not preferred approach

bodies can only sustain reaction for so long, then they realize that it’s not so bad
more gradual exposure

Q

Systematic Desensitization

A
  1. Develop a fear hierarchy
    Behavioural Strategies
  2. Teach relaxation and breathing exercises
  3. Practice gradual exposure to feared situations
  4. Practice relaxation while experiencing panic symptoms
    Cognitive Strategies
    • Identify maladaptive cognitions
    • Challenge catastrophizing thoughts
119
Q

Systematic Desensitization

A
  1. least feared to most feared
  2. teach relaxation, only when they can perform it can they move on to gradual exposure
  3. start small so they can extinguish fear to smallest fear and show they can manage it

e.g. fear of spider bite, gradual exposure provides evidence that it’s not gonna kill them
