Delusions are not persistent, intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts. Hallucinations are not persistent, intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts that an individual recognizes as a product of his or her own mind.

Childlike silliness in a patient with schizophrenia is known as
grossly disorganized behavior. Grossly disorganized behavior can range from childlike silliness to unpredictable agitation, and impairs tasks of daily living. Delusions, or systematic, fixed, false beliefs, usually involve themes of persecution, REF, somatization, religiosity, or grandiosity. Disorganized thinking is usually evaluated by an individual's speech, and is frequently characterized by frequent derailment or loose associations, invented words, tangential idea, and, when most severe, incomprehensible speech. Asociality is a negative symptom of schizophrenia.

The symptoms of hallucinations and paranoia that accompany schizophrenia are thought to be as result of altered neurotransmitter activity in the brain, which results in excessive ________ receptor activation.
D2 The positive symptoms of schizophrenia are thought to result from excessive dopamine D2 receptor activity in the brain. Depression is thought to be related to decreases in serotonin. Hallucinations and paranoia that accompany schizophrenia are not the result on excessive α-adrenergic receptor activation. Excessive acetylcholine receptor activation is not the cause of hallucinations or paranoia.
Which symptoms would support a diagnosis of major depressive disorder? (Select all that apply.)
Diminished interest or pleasure h Psychomotor agitation or retardation Appetite disturbance To be diagnosed with MDD, an individual must experience five (or more) specified symptoms during the same 2-week period; this must also represent a change from previous functioning.

Which statement is true about the incidence of mental illness?
Women have twice the risk of experiencing anxiety disorders than men Women are more than twice as likely to suffer from depression (including unipolar depression, dysthymia) and anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and phobias) than men. There are known differences in how cultures and regions around the world view mental health, and thus in how they express concerns about the body, self, and emotions. Reproductive hormones may play a role in exacerbating anxiety and depression in women. Mood disorders in the elderly are likely to be associated with concomitant illnesses or treatment.
It is true that the "negative" symptoms of schizophrenia
are thought to be mediated by D1 receptors in the brain. Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are thought to be associated with dopamine D1 receptor activity in the brain. Negative symptoms can be more difficult to recognize than positive symptoms. Rambling speech and delusional thoughts are positive symptoms. The positive symptoms of schizophrenia are thought to result from excessive dopamine D2 receptor activity in the brain.

The action of most antidepressants currently available is to
improve brain norepinephrine and serotonin activity Most currently available antidepressants act by improving brain norepinephrine and serotonin activity. Earlier generations of antidepressants had less specific effects on these neurotransmitters and significantly more side effects. The action of antidepressants is unrelated to conversion of catecholamines in the brain. D2 receptors in the brain are not blocked by antidepressants.

panic disorder.
The assessment of a client recently diagnosed with schizophrenia confirms good cognitive function and reveals affect that is animated. The client is open about describing the voices and the content of their comments, but demonstrates a disorganized thought process. These findings suggest that
positive" psychotic symptoms predominate. Positive symptoms of schizophrenia include the psychotic dimension and distortions of thought and perception, as well as the disorganization dimension. Auditory hallucinations are commonly experienced as voices. Negative symptoms are considered to be restricted affect, or asociality. The patient in this scenario does not appear to be at high risk for suicidal behaviors. The findings suggested do not indicate that the patient has ineffective drug therapy.
