Overview
Schizophrenia is a severe, progressive disorder
than often starts in adolescence and generally

Overview
Similar prevalence for men and women - men are
slightly higher
for men onset is age 15-25 - average 21.9
for women onset is age 25-35 - average 26
71% will experience their 1st symptoms by 25 y/o
Key feature: psychotic symptoms profound disturbance in thought, realitytesting, and affect.

Course of Schizophrenia
• Prodromal
– (usually in adolescence) - decreased level of functioning, social
withdrawal, peculiar behaviours, neglect hygiene, changes in
emotion
• Active
– full spectrum of psychotic symptoms - i.e., hallucinations, delusions,
disorganized speech
• Residual
–return to prodromal but may also be mild delusions/ hallucinations/
continuing negative symptoms and impairment

Symptoms and Features

Positive symptoms
–
–
–
–
look for presence of delusions and
hallucinations
Hallucinations: sensory experiences not
caused by external stimulus
includes voices commenting on client’s
behaviour or giving instruction
60% of all hallucinations are auditory

Positive Symptoms

Hallucinations
–
–
–
auditory: often insulting or instructing
tactile (e.g., something crawling under skin)

15
Subtypes: B) Disorganized

the criteria for schizophrenia
but does not fit the other subtypes

Other Psychotic Disorders

Delusional Disorder : preoccupation with
nonbizarre delusions for at least one month

Non-bizarre delusion
– being followed, poisoned, deceived, spied on,
or loved from a distance (erotomania)

Usually no odd behaviours, hallucinations, or
negative symptoms

20
Other Psychotic Disorders

Schizoaffective Disorder
–

Schizophreniform Disorder

mix of schizophrenia and mood disorder, but psychotic
symptoms are present at some point without mood d/o
less than 6 months

–
psychotic symptoms for 1 day to one month
typically after major trauma

Course and Outcome


Onset: Sudden vs. Gradual
Course: Undulating or Gradual
Outcome: Recovered/Mild Impairment vs.
Moderate/severe Impairment

Suicide and Schizophrenia
Risk is 8-9 times normal population
 50% attempt suicide
 1.9% a year die by suicide
 Ultimately 10-13% successful

Epidemiology

Culture
–
–
cross-cultural consistency
improved prognosis in developing countries

Social Class
–
adverse social and economic circumstances increases
the probability that persons who are genetically
predisposed will develop clinical symptoms

Etiology: Biological Factors
genetics
 neurological impairments
 neurochemical irregularities


25
Genetics





risk is greater is family member is affected
10-15 risk for first line relatives
3% for second line relative
46% if both parents are affected
twin concordance rates
– MZ: 48 %
– DZ: 17 %

26
Neuropathological Correlates

Structural and functional anomalies in
frontal cortex and limbic areas:
–
–
–
enlarged ventricles
decreased hippocampal size
asymmetry in temporal cortex processing

27
Neurochemistry

dopamine hypothesis
–
–

neuroleptic drugs block post-synaptic
dopamine receptors
excessive post-synaptic receptors?
interactions of multiple
neurotransmitters (e.g., GABA,
serotonin)
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
28
Other Potential Biological Factors
 intrauterine
insult and birth
complications
 viral infections
 season of birth

29
Epidemiology: Psychological Factors
Expressed Emotion (EE)
–
–
related to rate of relapse
patients who returned home to at least 1
member who has high EE were more likely
than low EE families to relapse
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
30
Treatment

Antipsychotic Medication
–
–
–
–
began in 1950’s (e.g., Thorazine)
reduced the severity of symptoms
50% showed significant improvement - 4-6 weeks
continued maintenance medication reduced relapse
rate

Treatment

Compliance Problems
Motor Side Effects
Extrapyramidal Symptoms: muscular rigidity, tremors,
agitation
Tardive Dyskinesia: involuntary movements of the
mouth and face, spasmodic movements of trunk and
body
–
increased use of atypical antipsychotics (clozapine)
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education Canada Inc.
32
Treatment

Atypical Antipsychotic Medication
–
–
–
–
began in 1990’s (e.g., Clozaril, Haldol, Risperdal,
Zyprexa)
As effective in treating positive symptoms; more
effective in treating negative symptoms
30% of patients who did not improve on other
medication improved on atypical antipsychotics
As with classical antipsychotics, target receptors in the
cortex, limbic system, and also acts on serotonin

Treatment

Other Medications:
Antianxiety/Sleeping Medication (Ativan, Valium)
Antidepressants (Prozac, Zoloft)
Mood Stabilizers (Lithium, Tegretol)

34
Treatment

Psychosocial treatment
–

social skills training (e.g., modeling, role playing)
CBT

35
Treatment

Assertive Community Treatment
–
provide an array of psychological interventions and

case management)
–
effective in reducing inpatient hospital stays

36
Treatment

Institutional Programs
–
Hospitalization:(2-3 weeks) is often needed for acute
psychosis
–
Crisis Houses: often provides an alternative to
hospitalization. Less expensive - provides learning
programs
