thoughts have been inserted in their head by an external source (computer chip in brain) DELUSION
thought broadcasting
belief that their thoughts are being broadcast or transmitted to others- DELUSION
grandiose delusions
exaggerated sense of own importance- DELUSION
ideas of reference
thinking that small events or activities are about you (tv broadcasts) DELUSION
types of hallucinations
hearing own thoughts in other people's voices, voices commenting on their behavior, voices arguing
activity during hallucinations
increased activity in broca's area

anhedonia
inability to experience pleasure- future pleasure (anticipatory pleasure)

asociality
inability to form close personal relationships
disorganized symptoms
disorganized speech and disorganized behavior
disorganized speech
incoherence and loose associations
disorganized behavior
agitation, dress unusually, act childlike, hoarding
genes found in association studies of schizophrenia
DTNGP1 and NGR1
heritability for schizophrenia
high, mostly for negative symptoms
neurotransmitters in schizophrenia
increased dopamine in positive symptoms, decreased glutamate
brain structure and function in schizophrenia
enlarged ventricles and decreased activity in prefrontal cortex (related to negative symptoms)
congenital factors in schizophrenia
damage during gestation or birth- low supply of oxygen could lead to decrease in grey matter; viral damage to fetal brain, if mother has flu, higher rates of schizophrenia
epidemiology of alcohol use
20% men, 8% women, 17% abuse, 12% dependence
epidemiology of alcohol use
20% men, 8% women, 17% abuse, 12% dependence
alcohol abuse more likely to be
caucasian
alcohol abuse more likely to be
caucasian
alcohol dependence highest rates
native americans and latinos
alcohol dependence highest rates
native americans and latinos
biphasic effect
alcohol initially stimulates then depresses
biphasic effect
alcohol initially stimulates then depresses
amnestic syndrom
severe loss of short and long term memory
amnestic syndrom
severe loss of short and long term memory
abuse and dependence in marijuana most common in what race
caucasian and native american
abuse and dependence most common in what race
caucasian and native american
marijuana health effects over time
decline in IQ, increased blood pressure and heart rate, damage to lungs, withdrawal and tolerance
marijuana health effects over time
decline in IQ, increased blood pressure and heart rate, damage to lungs, withdrawal and tolerance
therapeutic effects of marijuana
for patients with chemotherapy and AIDS, THC blocks pain signal from brain
therapeutic effects of marijuana
for patients with chemotherapy and AIDS, THC blocks pain signal from brain
opiates
opium, morphine, heroin, codeine, valium
opiates
opium, morphine, heroin, codeine, valium
legal opiates
hydrocodone (vicodin) and oxycodone (oxycontin
legal opiates
hydrocodone (vicodin) and oxycodone (oxycontin
health effects of opiates
euphoria, drowsiness, lack of coordination, loss of inhibition, increased self confidence, depletes serotonin and dopamine so sever letdown- withdrawal for 72 hours
sedatives
barbiturates and benzodiapenes
neurotransmitter in sedatives
increased GABA
barbiturates effects
induce muscle relaxation, decrease anxiety and mild euphoria
stimulants
amphetamines, methamphetamines and cocaine
neurotransmitter in amphetamines
increased dopamine and norepinephrine
methamphetamines brain structure effect
decrease in hippocampus
cocaine neurotransmitter
increase in dopamine
ecstasy neurotransmitter
excess serotonin causes depletion
PCP
causes paranoia and violence- animal tranquilizer
addictive gene for nicotine
CYP2A6
incentive-sensitization theory
wanting (makes them feel normal again) and liking(pleasure is obtained from takin it) leads to abuse or dependence
treatment for alcohol abuse and dependence
inpatient hospital treatment, alcoholics anonymous, couples and family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, controlled drinking
contingency management therapy
for alcohol use: reinforce behavior not related to drinking, how to deal with uncomfortable situations, community-reinforcement approach
most effective treatment for nicotine dependence
comination of nicotine replacement and CBT
heroin replacements
methadone, naloxone and naltrexone (make high of drug not occur)
paranoid personality symptoms
4 or more
comorbidity with paranoid PD
schizotypal, borderline and avoidant
schizoid personality disorder
4 or more
comorbidity with schizoid PD
schizotypal, avoidant and paranoid PD
schizotypal personality disorder
5 or more symptoms
comorbidity with schizotypal PD
very high, usually at least two co-morbid- avoidant and paranoid
etiology of odd/eccentric cluster
high heritability
etiology for schizotypal
link to schizophrenia- relatives with schizophrenia at greater risk for schizotypal- cognitive and neuropsychological deficits, enlarged ventricles, less gray matter
odd/ eccentric cluster
paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal
dramatic/erratic cluster
borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial
borderline personality symptoms
5 or more
borderline comorbid diseases
PTSD, MDD, eating disorders and substance-related disorders- suicide rates high
neurobiological etiology of borderline PD
highly heritable, low serotonin functioning, damage to prefrontal cortex (controls impulsivity), increased activation of the amygdala
object-relations theory
children internalize images of their relationships which are disturbed and create low self esteem- causes splitting (all good or all bad)
Linehan's diathesis stress theory
patients with BPD have difficulty controlling emotions (biological diathesis) that puts stress on the family- negative reaction from the family- vicious circle between the two
histrionic symptoms
5 or more- may have low self-esteem or confused by paretns seductiveness
narcissistic personality symptoms
5 or more; overly confident
narcissistic etiology
self-psychology model and social congnitive model
self-psychology model
characteristics mask low self esteem- relationships are for bolstering self-worth- emotional coldness from parents or overemphasis of child's achievements
social-cognitive model
fragile self esteem- interpersonal relationships are used to bolster self esteem rather than to feel closeness
antisocial symptoms
at least age 18, evidence of misconduct before age 15, and 3 or more since then
etiology of antisocial
96% heritability, common among convicted felons
anxious/fearful cluster
avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive
avoidant personality disorder
4 or more- overly protective parents
dependent personality symptoms
5 or more- disruption of early childhood attachment by death, neglect, or over-protectiveness
obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
4 or more- fixation at anal stage or coping with fears of losing control by overcompenstation
obsessive compulsive PD most likely comorbid
avoidant PD
mens rae
guilty mind
insanity defense
pleaded in less than 1% of the cases- requires fudgments by lawyers, judges, jurors and clinicians
not guilty by reason of insantiy (NGRI)
indefinite commitment to a forensic hospital- released when no longer mentall ill- John Hinckley
guilty but mentall ill (GBMI)
found legally guilty but may be sent to a prison hospital where they may or may not receive care- jeffrey dahmer
irresistable impulse (1834)
if pathological impulse or uncontrollable drive compelled criminal act then insanity defense legitimate- Parsons vs. state and davis vs. us
american law institute guidelines
1- a person is not responsible for criminal conduct if at the time of the illegal act he lacks substantial capacity to know it was wrong and 2- those who repeatedly break the law cannot plead insanity
