George, Nneka M., Julia Whitaker, Giovana Vieira, Jerome T. Geronimo, Dwight A. Bellinger, Craig A. Fletcher, and Joseph P. Garner. "Antioxidant Therapies for Ulcerative Dermatitis: A Potential Model for Skin Picking Disorder." PLoS ONE PLOS ONE (2015). Web. 6 Oct. 2015.
This article is about studies done on mice with ulcerative dermatitis, which is being compared to skin picking and trichotillomania in humans. The mice received either N-Acetylcysteine in their drinking water or intranasal glutathione, which healed the mice in 2-4 weeks. Although N-Acetylcysteine took about twice the amount of time to heal the mice as intranasal, it seemed to work better. However, it seems that human patients don’t necessarily react too well. According to the article, there is still much research to be done, but it seems like they are making some sort of progress. I’m not really sure if I can use this in my paper, but if I do, I will use it as a sub topic, under treatment. I found this source using EBSCO, so it should be credible.

Chapter 11 covers information about anxiety disorders, which includes OCD. The chapter describes what OCD is, the signs and symptoms as well as causes and treatment; such as cognitive behavior therapy. Chapter 18 is all about impulse control disorders, which includes a section about self-harm. This section in the book covers myths and facts about self-harm, signs, symptoms and more. In chapter 21, there is a section about types of psychotherapies for different disorders. I can use these to further explain how Excoriation Disorder could be connected to OCD and ICD and how they could possibly be

    I read the memoir, A Man Who Couldn't Stop by David Adam. This novel told the stories of how Adam and many other people live with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Adam clarifies what a mental illness is, especially OCD, through his use of examples about various people. The memoir uses many anecdotes demonstrating the specific aspects of different mental illnesses. I believe the beginning of the memoir was very interesting because the author reveals a very compelling situation of a girl eating a wall because of a mental illness.…

    My parents tried and failed to seek the medicine that would even lessen the suffering or annoyance of this disease. We searched from Texas to Wuhan in China, trying different lotions, pills, special baths, but none of these supposed solutions provided any permanent aid but rather an occasional reduction of the itchiness. So I stuck with a lotion called Cetaphil which helped with my irritated skin, but provided only minor relief. I saw this irritation as something unfair. It provided excuses, anger, and reasons to fail.…

    Psych Exam 3 The most recent chapter we read, chapter 15, was the one I was waiting to read all semester long. I find psychological disorders incredibly interesting and think that everybody should educate themselves about them on a basic level to end the stigmas attached to these types of disorders. I learned something new in every single section of chapter 15. Section one taught me about the six areas of identifying abnormal behaviors, that one in four adults in America are diagnosed with a psychological disorder every year, and about the Multiaxial DSM System.…

    Urticaria is a group of disorders that share a distinct skin reaction pattern, namely the occurrence of itchy wheals anywhere on the skin (Yosipovitch et al., 2002). Urticaria is characterized by raised, pink/erythematous skin lesions that range from a few millimeters in size to several centimeters and may coalesce. An important characteristic of urticaria is that they are evanescent, meaning that old lesions vanish as new ones appear during a span of 24 hours. Typically, urticarial lesions leave no scarring and are generally worsened by scratching.…

    I can understand why people would think dermatillomania is self-harm. Back when I was first trying to figure out this skin picking thing, I though it must be self-harm, too, but now I understand it differently. I used to think it must be self-harm since, really, what I’m doing is physically damaging. How could it be anything different?…

    targeted to the skin but instead an antihistamine used to prevent balance related sickness, this might suggest why the use of the alternative lipid, DSPC, gave better results. For sample CIN14, (Table 8) that no cholesterol was used, observed the formation of crystals rather than functional liposomes and the most extreme drop in EE% of 28.33% (from 35.55% to 7.00%). This emphasises the requirement for some degree of fluidity for a membrane to be functional. As the presence of cholesterol is responsible for increased membrane fluidity, could assume little/no fluidity in the liposomes, hence they failed to form. Solid crystals were observed instead.…

    At some point, every person has sneezed. In these brief moments of air expulsion, people almost become slaves to their brain’s commands, losing control of their body in that instant. Despite vigorous attempts to refuse the order, the brain’s hardwired response to minor stimuli has been shown to snottily win out time and time again, whether a person is sitting on the bus, giving a presentation at school or sitting in a silent library. For people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), these suddenly triggered actions come in the form of anxiety-driven compulsions, which occur so frequently that these seemingly uncontrollable actions can be a detriment to a person’s quality of life and health. Hence, scientists and doctors have experimented…

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) is a disorder that many struggle with in their daily life. It can be life altering and change the person’s quality of life dramatically. The treatment for OCD consists of medication or therapy that will help one cope with this disorder. Many believe this disorder occurs because one fixates on over analyzing, washing their hands, or checking and rechecking (Fawcett, 2015). Researchers have not yet to identify the main cause of this disorder, but it has been studied that it is from an imbalance in chemicals and other factors that play a part (Steketee & McCorkle, 2012).…
