Q

DSM 5 SP

A
  1. 2+ present for significant amount of 1MO period (less if successfully treated): at least one must be delusions, hallucinations, disorganised speech; and then also grossly disorganised/catatonic behaviour; negative symptoms
  2. level of functioning below normal
  3. disturbance persists for 6MO, with at least 1 MO with criterion 1 symptoms (active-phase symptoms) and may include prodromal or residual symptoms
  4. schizoaffective disorder and depressive or bipolar disorder with psychotic features ruled out
  5. disturbance not attributable to substance or medical condition
  6. if history of ASD or childhood onset communciation disorder, SP diagnosis only if prominent delusions or hallucinations also present for 1+ months

Q

DSM5 Schizoaffective disorder

A

uninterrupted period of illness with major mood episode (major depressiove or manic) concurrent with criterion 1 of SP
delusions/hallucinations for 2+w in absence of major mood episode during lifetime illness duration
symptoms that meet criteria for a major mood episode are present for the majority of total duration of active and residual portions of illness
disturbance not attributable to substance or other medical condition

Q

DSM5 Brief psychotic disorder

A

1+ of following: at least one of one of delusions, hallucinations; disorganised speech; and then also grossly disorganised/catatonic behaviour
duration of episode at least 1D but less than 1M, eventual full return to premorbid function level
disturbance not better explained by MDD or BD with psychosis or another psychotic disorder, substance or medical condition

Q

DSM5 Delusional disorder

A

1+ delusions for 1M or longer
Criterion 1 for SP never met (if hallucinations present, not prominent and related to delusions)
functioning not markedly impaired and behaviour not obviously bizarre
brief or no manic or MD episodes compared to duration of delusional periods
disturbance not attributable to substance, medical condition or another mental disorder

Q

DSM5 schizotypal PD

A

pervasive social and interpersonal deficits with reduced capacity for cose relationships, eccentric behaviours from early adulthood across contexts, and 5+ of: ideas of reference; odd beliefs/magical thinking; unusual perceptual experiences; odd thinking and speech; suspiciousness or paranoid ideation; inappropriate/constricted affect; eccentric behaviour/appearance; lack of close friends, excessive social anxiety with paranoid fears
does not occur exclusively during course of SP, BD, MDD with psychosis, another psychotic disorder or ASD

16
Q

rare alleles of high risk

A

at least 11 rare inherited copy number variations are associated with increased risk of SP
often associated with glutamate functioning (especially via NMDA receptor)

17
Q

common alleles of low risk

A

at least 128 common polymorphisms account for approx. half genetic contribution to SP

18
Q

neurotransmitter dysfunction in SP

A

excessive dopamine produces positive symptoms
NMDA receptors of glutamate also implicated

19
Q

grey matter

A

cortex

20
Q

white matter

A

axons with myelin

21
Q

black partss

A

csf

22
Q

Brain changes with SP

A

enlarged ventricles (CSF)- loss of brain cells
demyelination (reduced white matter)

23
Q

medication

A

dopamine antagonists typically D2 dopamine receptor
some are serotonin antagonists: clozapine blocks 5-HT2A receptor
