TOPIC 2 Flashcards
when is disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) diagnoed?
ONLY diagnosed in childhood (onset is before age 10)
risk of suicide is especially high in what age group
older adults (>65)
biopsychosocial model includes…
*Biological factors
*Psychological factors
*Social factors
that either lead to promoting health or causing disease
The Stress-Diathesis Model of Depression
diathesis (predisposition or vulnerability to developing a given disorder) + stress (precipitation cause or triggerinc circumstance) = disorder
learned helplessness
people are used to being helped out they may not even try on their own
Cognitive Theory -
Beck’s Cognitive Triad
Negative view of self
+.
Pessimistic view of the world
+.
Belief that negative reinforcement will continue

*Social withdrawal
*Excessive emotional sensitivity
*Irritability**
*Low frustration level
*Insomnia or hypersomnia
*Disruption in concentration and decision-making ability
*Excessive guilt
*Indecisiveness
what is the most common presentation of depressive symptoms in children
irritability
Assessing for depression: standardized scales
*Hamilton Depression Scale
*SAD PERSONS Scale
Assessing suicide risk
*SAD PERSONAS Scale
*SAFE-T
Suicidal ideation
process of thinking about killing oneself
Suicidal gesture
action that indicates a person may be about ready to carry out a plan for suicide
Suicide attempt
all willful, self-inflicted, life threatening attempts that have not led to death
Completed suicide
the act of intentionally ending ones life
what me done for a client who is at high risk for attempting suicide
-1:1 continuous monitoring at ARMS LENGTH from client
-documentation every 15 minutes and observation continuously (includes bathroom and shower)
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) symptoms
-Depressed mood most of the day
-Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt
-Significant unintentional weight loss or gain
-Insomnia or hypersomnia
-Diminished interest or pleasure
-Diminished ability to think or concentrate
-loss of energy
-Recurrent thoughts of death, recurrent suicidal ideation
Persistent depressive disorder (PDD)
depression symptoms are less severe than in MDD, and they symptoms must have persisted for at least 2 years and often clients with PDD are able to function in life roles with less disruption than seen in MDD.
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) onset
Onset before age 10 (diagnosis can be carried to adulthood if symptoms persist)
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) symptoms
-Severe, recurrent temper outbursts (verbal and/or behavioral)
-Inconsistent developmental level
-Persistent irritability or anger for most of the day (regardless of setting)
treatment for isruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)
-Family supportive therapy
-Behavior modification therapy
-Medications (e.g., stimulants, antidepressants, mood stabilizers may be used)
Anergia
reduction in or lack of energy
Anhedonia
an inability to find meaning or pleasure in existence
apathy
a lack of feeling, emotion, or interest
insomnia
recurring problems in falling or staying asleep
hypersomnia
increased amount of sleep
Psychomotor agitation
a tension relieving activity (pace, nail-biting, smoke, tap their fingers)
Psychomotor retardation
feelings of fatigue can result in slowed movements
Vegetative signs of depression
include somatic changes and alterations in those activities necessary to support physical life and growth such as eating, sleeping, elimination and sex
Mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MCBT)
a combination of CBT and mindfulness based stress reduction techniques.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
Usually, ECT is done when medications (pharmacologic methods) do not work. It is a procedure done under general anesthesia in which small electric currents are passed though the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to change the brain chemistry that can quickly reverse the symptoms of certain mental illnesses
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
An invasive procedure, performed by a neurosurgeon requiring the implantation of electrodes and a pulse generator that stimulates the vagus nerve; affects blood flow to specific parts of the brain and affects NTs including serotonin and norepinephrine
Rapid (or Repetitive) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression
Deep brain stimulation
electrodes must be surgically implanted into several areas of the brain affected by depression, am insulated wire is connected to an impulse generator that generates stimulations to specific areas of the brain
Bright light therapy
particularly helpful for clients experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
non-invasive brain stimulation therapies
*Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) & rapid TMS (rTMS)
*Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
invasive brain stimulaton therapies
*Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
*Deep brain stimulation
Indications for Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
-Patient is suicidal or homicidal
-Extreme agitation or stupor
-Life-threatening illness as a result of the refusal of foods or fluids
-History of poor antidepressant drug response or a good ECT response (i.e., standard medical treatment has been ineffective)
first line antidepressant classes
-SSRIs
-SNRIs
-Atypical antidepressants
-TCAs
