Shanise Streams November 19, 2012 Dr. Barnes Descriptive Diagnosis & Schizophrenia The [1]Descriptive Diagnosis & [2]Schizophrenia reading assignment introduces students to [descriptive diagnoses, the dsm-iv, and several common disorders that can be diagnosed with the dsm-iv]different types of disorders, where they can be found and the statistics behind them. A [1]descriptive diagnosis can be used to help identify a disorder in the [3]DSM IV [Better: The DSM-IV is a descriptive diagnosis used…]. The [3]DSM IV [is for the use for; awk] selecting different diagnosis and to help evaluate people. The [3]DSM IV contain[vt] a lot of useful information, it has different selected diagnostics which are categorized. There is also a [4]Multiaxial system of diagnosis which has a system that has 5 axes to help place disorders in their social and biological context[DEFINED]. There are so many different disorders and illnesses they are hard [not hard; impossible to; that is why the manual is so important]to memorize each one of them. [new paragraph]Disorders can affect people of all ages and some can be determined early on. Disorders usually first diagnosed through childhood that are most common are [5]Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and [6]Conduct disorder. A child with [5]ADHD may show symptoms as early as infancy but often by age 4. Children who are diagnosed with [5]ADHD have many difficulties with everyday task and they often have behavioral difficulties at school and home. There is also [6]Conduct disorder which is physical aggression toward people, animal’s etc. [6]Conduct disorder affects a lot of children of all ethnicity and gender, 6 to 16 percent of boys and 2 to 9 percent of girls have this disorder (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). Many people have trouble with substances that impairs the mind, there are substance related disorders such as [7]Alcoholism and [8]Drugs .When [7]alcoholism occurs it can have a big effect on your body and cause health issues as well as [8]drugs. People who use [8]drugs or even abuse one drug are at risk of abusing several drugs. Through research it show that [7]alcoholism and [8]drugs both genetic and environmental hypotheses which can be tied in the [9]Nature Nurture controversy. [something is wrong with this sentence/statement] [2]Schizophrenia is a common disorder that affects 1.2 and 6 million people in the United States (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). [2]Schizophrenia maybe caused by early brain damage, often it is genetics but it’s not entirely clear. The symptoms of [2]schizophrenia can be both positive and negative; the positive symptoms are [10]delusions, [11]hallucinations and the difficulty to identify the imaginary from the real. Negative symptoms are [12]loosening of associations, lack of motivation, not talking, avoiding others and not being able to express emotions clearly. Often those suffering have minimal control over associative thinking and intersperses with rational thoughts. About 10 to 20 percent fully recover and less than half show moderate improvement (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). [13]Dopamine and [14]Glutamine are used to treat [2]schizophrenia which leads to the [15]Dopamine hypothesis. The [15]Dopamine hypothesis may cause [2]schizophrenia in the text[?] it states that the brain may produce too much [13]dopamine which may lead to [2]schizophrenia improvement (Kowalski & Westen, 2009).
