alcohol use disorder
"Excessive" use is defined by having 5 or more drinks on one occasion (at least monthly) or >14 drinks per week for men, and 4 drinks on one occasion (at least monthly) or >7 drinks per week in the past 12 months for women. Excessive alcohol use causes 88,000 deaths a year. More than half (52.7%) of Americans ages 12 and up reported current alcohol consumption. Of those, 176.6 million alcohol users, an estimated 17 million have an AUD.

Treatment for Sleep Arousal Disorders
- Antidepressant for sleep terrors -scheduled awakenings
family dynamics of eating disorders
- Burch says daughters are more likely to develop ED when they have parents who are overinvested in daughters' compliance and achievements, are overcontrolling and will not allow expression of feelings -causes daughters to no learn to identify feelings -important ask of adolescence is separation and individuation from one's family to provide independence and prevent need for rigid control over their body to foster a sense of power over self and family - do not know to what extent family and personality characteristics actually causes of eating disorders -controlling nature of parents behavior toward child could be a consequence or a cause of disorder

Psychotherapy for anorexia nervosa
- can be difficult because they value thinnes and believe they must maintain absolute control over behaviors causing resistance to therapy in general -therapist must win clients trust and encourage participation in therapy and and maintain trust and participation as client begins to regain dreaded weight -hospitalization of patient can hinder bond -psychotherapy is a long process and is marked by setbacks due to relapse in behaviors
Trends Across the Life Span for sexual dysfunction
- culture conveys young adults cant get enough sex but sexual activity declines steadily with age
Prevalence of Delirium
- older the person, higher the risk - males are at greater risk than females -preexisting brain damage or NCD increase risk -African Americans have higher rates bc late interventions/ less access

Prevalence & Course of ADHD
-Boys are a little more than 2x more likely than girls to develop ____ in childhood & adolescence. -Girls are more likely to present with inattentive symptoms instead of disruptive behaviors, leading to underdiagnosis -may have specific learning disorders that makes it harder to concentrate -behavior problems worsen over the course of this disorder, and are more likely to develop conduct disorder
CBT for anorexia nervosa
-CBT = most researched in this field as it confronts client's overvaluation of thinness and rewards are made contingent on the person's gaining weight -w/ CBT after hospitalization, some hospital privileges are considered rewards and they may be taught relaxation techniques regarding the ingestion of food - CBT can lead to weight gains & reductions in symptoms but many patients drop out or return to certain behaviors
CBT for bulimia nervosa
-CBT has received most empirical support -CBT is based on the view that the extreme concerns about shape and weight are the central features of disorder. Therapist teaches client to monitor the cognitions that accompany eating (binge/purge). Then therapist helps client confront cognitions and develop more adaptive attitudes toward weight and body shape. Behavioral components involve introducing forbidden foods back into diet and helping confront irrational thoughts & client is taught to eat 3 healthy meals a day and challenge thoughts about meals and possibility of weight gain. -CBT is more effective than drug therapy
Biological factors of ADHD
-Cerebral cortex is smaller in volume -Less connectivity between frontal areas of the cortex and areas of the brain that influence motor behavior, memory and attention -abnormal activity in prefrontal cortex, the striatum and cerebellum -abnormal functioning of catecholamine neurotransmitters -Genetic factors -Prenatal birth complications - Diet (inconsistent research)
Cultural factors of sexual dysfunction
-Chinese & Indian medical system teach that loss of semen is detrimental to a man's health & masturbation is strongly discouraged -Koro: syndrome that involves an acute anxiety characterized by panic and impending death from the delusion that the penis is shrinking into the body and disappearing - in polynesian culture there is no word for erection problems -in African cultures the preference is for a woman's vagina to be dry & tight for sexual intercourse

Changes in the DSM-5 regarding ASD
-The DSM-4 classified autism as one of the multiple diagnoses in the category Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs) -In the DSM-% the PDD category has been dropped and there is only 1 autism spectrum disorder - due to evidence that distinctions b/w PDDs were hard to make reliably and that they seemed to share common causes -Debate over whether new diagnosis will cover majority of previously diagnosed ppl
Treatments for Gender Dysphoria
-Therapy goal is to help individuals clarify their gender identity and desire for treatment -Address secondary interpersonal and psychological issues -Cross-sex hormone therapy -Full-time real-life experience in the desired gender role -Sex reassignment surgery

Sociocultural and psychological factors of Eating disorders
-psychologists have linked the historical and cross cultural differences in the prevalence of eating disorders to differences in the standards of beauty for women at different times in different cultures -the ideal shape for women has become thinner and thinner -media pressure & peer pressureequates to woman valuing thinness more than men, shown in TV -athletes classified in "aesthetic" and "weight dependent" were more likely to have bulimia or anorexia
sociocultural factors of substance use
-rates of substance use disorders are higher among people living in poverty, women in abusive relationships and adolescents with bad family life because the reinforcing effects of substances are attractive to those under chronic stress -may think they have little to lose -some societies discourage any use of alcohol
