Disability Services Severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions. The two main symptoms include: delusions and hallucinations. ◦ Delusions: False beliefs (such as thinking that someone is plotting against you) ◦ Hallucinations: False perceptions (Hearing, seeing or feeling something that isn’t there) Symptoms of schizophrenia usually begin between the ages of 16 and 30. ◦ Men often develop symptoms at a younger age. There are 3 types of symptoms: ◦ Psychotic symptoms: distort a person’s thinking. They include hallucinations, delusions, trouble organizing thoughts and abnormal movements. ◦ “Negative” symptoms: make it difficult to show emotions and function normally. An individual may seem depressed and withdrawn. ◦ Cognitive symptoms: affect thought process. Symptoms include difficulty using information, making decisions and paying attention. The prevalence of schizophrenia is about 1.1 percent of the U.S. adult population (National Institute of Mental Health) Several factors can predict schizophrenia in up to 80% of youth who are at high risk of developing it (NIMH). ◦ These factors include the following: isolating oneself and withdrawing from others, an increase in unusual thoughts and suspicions, and a family history of psychosis. ◦ In young individuals who develop schizophrenia, this stage of the disorder is called the "prodromal" period. Bipolar disorder typically occurs during the late teenage years or early adulthood. Half of all cases occur before age 25 (NIMH). The prevalence of bipolar disorder is 2.6 percent of the U.S. population. Symptoms of the disorder come in two forms: ◦ Manic episodes: a period of feeling “high” or overly happy, irritability, talking fast, having racing thoughts, increased activities (starting new projects), not sleeping, having unrealistic beliefs and engaging in high risk behaviors. ◦ Depressive episodes: feeling sad or hopeless, loss of interest in activities, tiredness, having problems concentrating, remembering or making decisions. Bipolar I Disorder: Defined by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. ◦ Usually, depressive episodes occur as well, typically lasting at least 2 weeks. Bipolar II Disorder: A pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but no fullblown manic or mixed episodes. Mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and antidepressants are used to treat bipolar disorder.
