Psychological Disorders What is a Psychological Disorder? The World of Psychological Disorders Psychological Disorders …are “harmful dysfunctions” in which behavior is judged to be atypical, disturbing, maladaptive, and/or unjustifiable Atypical abnormal – being different from most other people in one’s culture is Disturbing means that a behavior goes against the standards of acceptable behavior, is unnerving, grotesque, or otherwise disruptive to a generally acceptable level of comfort. Maladaptiveness indicates that the behaviors are distressing or disabling or puts one at a greatly increased risk of suffering or death Unjustifiable means that certain behaviors are irrational, or that a behavior lacks any mental clarity or reason What is the nature of Psychological Disorders and their causes? Biological Model (Medical Model) Abnormal behaviors are caused by physiological malfunctions – IE. a failure of the central nervous system, an improperly working endocrine system, an abnormal flow of a specific hormone, genetic factors, brain damage Brain Trauma Psychoanalytical Model Abnormal behaviors are symbolic expressions of unconscious, internal conflicts, often associated with early childhood – IE. A fear of open water due to almost drowning as a child, obsessions with women who remind you of the mother who abandoned you, serial violence against homosexuals based on your own internal orientation conflicts Behavioral Model Abnormal behavior is the result of learned behavior – IE. you are a psychopathic killer because you watched violent programming on tv….you obsessively clean the house because Mom obsessively cleaned the house Diathesis-Stress Model (Bio-Psycho-Social Perspective) Abnormal behavior is caused when prone individuals who otherwise may not exhibit symptoms are put into stressful situations and then exhibit symptoms IE. You may occasionally be stressed, or drink a bit or a have trouble sleeping, but then your house burns down, your ID is stolen online, your bank accounts are emptied, your wife leaves you……thus you “snap”. An anxiety disorder emerges, a substance abuse disorder emerges, a sleep disorder emerges…. Classifying Psychological Disorders There are 16 categories of Psychological Disorders, as specified in the DSM-IV TR – the American Psychiatric Association’s “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” Insanity This is a LEGAL definition only, whereas a person is unable to determine between right & wrong or understand consequences due to metal illness The Mentally Ill and Prison Anxiety Disorders Anxiety Disorders Anxiety Disorders Any disorders characterized by an intensely distressing, persistent stress, or maladaptive behaviors that reduce stress Anxiety Overview Generalized Anxiety Disorder A person is continually tense, apprehensive, and in a state of autonomic system arousal Dizziness Sweaty Palms Heart Palpitations Ringing in the Ears Edgy and Shaky Unfocused and Out-of-Control Negative Feelings Worried constantly about bad things that may happen Twitchiness and/or trembling Panic Disorder Sufferers have acute episodes of intense anxiety without any apparent provocation Obsessive-Control Disorder Characterized by unwanted repetitive thoughts (obsessions) or actions (compulsions) Checking to see if a door is locked is normal.

It has long been known that schizophrenia runs in families. A child whose parent has schizophrenia has about a 10 percent chance. By comparison, the risk of schizophrenia in the general population is about 1 percent. The strongest evidence to date leads to chromosomes 13 and 6 but remains unconfirmed. It is likely, although not yet certain, that the disorder is associated with some imbalance of the complex, interrelated chemical systems of the brain, involving the presence of excessive amounts of the neurotransmitters dopamine Hallucinations Perceptions that occur without connection to an appropriate source; hearing voices that other people do not hear is the most common type of hallucination in schizophrenia Voices may describe the patients activities, carry on a conversation, warn of impending dangers, or even issue orders to the individual. Delusions False personal beliefs that are not subject to reason or contradictory evidence patients suffering from paranoid-type symptoms often have delusions of persecution, or false and irrational beliefs that they are being cheated, harassed, poisoned, or conspired against. In addition, delusions of grandeur, in which a person may believe he or she is a famous or important figure, may occur in schizophrenia Disorganized Thinking Schizophrenia often affects a persons ability to think straight. Thoughts may come and go rapidly; the person may not be able to concentrate on one thought for very long and may be easily distracted, unable to focus attention. People with schizophrenia may not be able to sort out what is relevant and what is not relevant to a situation. The person may be unable to connect thoughts into logical sequences, with thoughts becoming disorganized and fragmented.
