integrative explanation for borderline personality disorder

#1 biosocial: internal forces (difficulty identifying emotions, skills deficit, neurotransmitters) and external forces (kid can't interpret emotions and parents teach them to ignore their intense feelings) - similar to Hilde Bruch, comorbid with eating disorders #2 developmental psychopathology: internal and external forces intersect and early parent-child relationships are influential. Early trauma and abuse, inattentive parents who are uncaring and dismissive leads to a disorganized attachment style - flawed capacity for health relationships - positive factors can counter this

Failure to treat patients

#1. poor coordination of services #2. shortage of services

explanation for obsessive compulsive personality disorder

- Freud: anal retentive, fixated on anal stage - strong of control and independence with parents - CB: illogical thinking, dichotomous thinking leads to rigidity and perfectionism

- genetics (sibling prevalence is 10-205, identical twins is 60%) - prenatal difficulties and birth complications (mom had rubella, Hg and Pb exposure, alcohol and drugs use, labor and delivery issues) - abnormal cerebellum (controls attention shift, flawed interconnectivity in circuits) - NO AUTISM CIRCUIT FOUND - MMR vax: NO

brain structures in schizophrenia

- large ventricles - reduction in brain volume (neg symptoms) - enlarged ventricles - small hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus - reduced activity in prefrontal cortex (many behaviors disrupted by schizophrenia are governed by this area

explanations for schizoid personality disorder

- object relations theorists: unsatisfied need for human contact - abusive, unaccepting parents, - CB: deficiency in thinking

explanations for dependent personality disorder

- psychodynamic: similar to depression, unresolved conflict in oral stage lead to lifelong need for nurturance - object relations: early parental loss, abandonment fear - over controlling and overprotective parents - CB: parents unintentionally rewarded kids clinginess and "loyal" behavior and punish independence, maladaptive assumptions, and dichotomous thinking

DSM-5 Personality Disorders

categorical approach, problem is either present or absent, either displayed or not displayed, person isn't troubled by traits outside the disorder - lacks reliability and validity - challenged with dimensional approach

second generation antipsychotics

challenge the dopamine hypothesis, more effective than phenothiazines. - bind D1 and D2 and also receptors for serotonin, glutamate, and GABA - not just dopamine - glutamate: up and coming, low levels post mortem in schizophrenics

explanations for borderline personality disorder

fear of abandonment, early parental relationships - object relations: lack of parental acceptance leads to low self esteem, increased dependence, neglect, rejection, and verbal abuse - biological predisposition: 35% identical twins and close relatives are 5x more likely - low serotonin= impulsivity and aggression - hyperactive amygdala and underachieve hippocampus and prefrontal cortex - poor interconnectivity - as culture loses value and stability, people have identity problems and feel empty, anxious, fear abandonment, and lack belonging - link to sexual abuse

food or drink tastes strange on a regular basis

treatment foster care for conduct disorder

foster home in the community, receive family therapy with foster and biological parents, meetings, treatment

developmental psychopathology and schizophrenia

genetic predisposition, life stress, difficult family interactions, negative environmental factors - diathesis stress relationship - HPA axis: dysfunction of schizophrenia related circuit leads to repeated overreactions of HPA in the face of stress -->people are sensitive to stressors --> leads to dysfunctional immune system, because more inflammation - schizophrenics produce high proflammatory cytokines - multifinality

Cause of ADHD

genetic predisposition, type 2 attention process does not override type 1, breakdown in balance of type 1 and 2, abnormal dopamine and abnormalities in frontal striatal

cyberbullying

girls are 50% more likely to experience it, social media - 60-90% of people have witnessed it on social media

Schizophrenics who functioned better before diagnosis

good premorbid functioning=fuller recovery - people whose initial disorder is triggered by stress, it abrupt, and develops during middle age, and receive early treatment often have better treatment outcome - early treatment= better

anxiety, depression, and disruptive disorders

have adult counterparts

Treatment for autism spectrum disorder

help adapt to the environment, cannot reverse the disorder

antipsyhotic drugs

help correct grossly confused or distorted thinking - phenothiazines - don't treat negative symptoms

parent management training and ADHD

help parents deal with children

amphetamines psychosis

high doses of amphetamines--> high dopamines--> psychosis

multicultural factors and schizophrenia

higher prevalence in African Americans (are they more prone to develop it or do they develop it because they are more likely to be poor?) - Hispanics also higher than whites - indicates correlation with low SES - people in developing countries recover more often, quicker, and more completely

adults with ADHD

higher substance use, insomnia, risky sexual behavior, driving accidents and job changes

delusions

ideas that people believe but have no basis in fact. may consider them enlightening or confusing. single delusion that dominates life or many delusions

revision of dopamine hypothesis

imbalance of dopamine function - high dopamine in the subcortical and midbrain results in positive symptoms - decreases in dopamine in the cortical regions and frontal result in negative symptoms

coordination of services

important for those with substance use and mental disorder (MICA)

tardive dyskinesia

involuntary movements of the facial muscles, tongue, and limbs; a possible neurotoxic side effect of long-term use of antipsychotic drugs that target certain dopamine receptors - 15% of patients, greater risk if over 50 years old - mild case: usually one symptom - severe case: rocking back and forth, irregular breathing - difficult to eliminate. Early detection is elusive because symptoms are close to psychotics symptoms - D2 receptor - receptor sensitivity: the brain compensates for the lack of dopamine by increasing the number of receptors

hallucination reinterpretation and acceptance

journey into schizophrenia takes place when people attempt to make sense of strange sensations and conclude incorrectly that they're from external sources - change how people react to hallucinations - interpret in more accurate way - helps patients feel in control and reduce delusional ideas

prevention and conduct disorder

short-term hospitalization

lasts a few weeks rather than months after medication and therapy fail

new wave behavioral therapists

lessen the impact of hallucinations and delusions on person - ACT - mindfulness - patients often feel less disturbed after CBT and even shed their diagnosis - decrease hospitalization by 50%

restricted affect

life flat and blunted affect, may reflect an inability to express emotions (show less facial expressions when presented with emotional clips) even though they report feeling emotions - Schizophrenics experience emotions internally and grapple with anxiety/depression

DSM-5 checklist for personalisty disorder

long term patterns leading to dysfunction in 2 areas - cognition, emotions, social interactions, and impulsivity - distress, impairment

prenatal causes of intellectual disabilities

low iodine (cretinism), fetal alcohol syndrome, syphilis, anorexia

Major depressive disorder (child)
