|
Anxiety- related Risk Factors: Biological |
- Genetic ---- ~0.5 heritability - specific anxiety-related disorders ----- Tendency to be uptight, tense, anxious - Evolutionary preparedness, ----- Phobias, social anxiety |
|
Anxiety- related Risk Factors: Biological(Brain Features) |
- Impairment in limbic system? ------ Brain stem: monitors change in body function ------Limbic system: mediates btw brain stem and cortex --- Amygdala (threat reponse, learning, memory) ---- Hippocampus (threat response, learning, memory) Cortex: regulating limbic system |
|
Anxiety- related Risk Factors: Biological (brain features - Neurochemical Features) |
- Chronic increased cortisol - lowers ability to turn off stress response (cell death in hippocampus - Stress response system impacts other systems (limbic system, brain stem, prefrontal cortex, and neurotransmitter systems) - seratonin (mood, impulsive), GABA (anxiety inhibition, motor control), Norepinephrine (fight or flight), |
|
Anxiety - related Risk Factors: Psychobiological Risk Factors |
- Temperament (inherited?): - Behavioral inhibition (shy, cautious, anxious) ----- Anxiety infants --> anxious children/adolescents Neuroticism (negative emotional reactions) ----- More negative emotions --> more emotional disorders |
|
Anxiety -related Rik Factors: Psychological- Cognitions |
- Perceived lack of control - Negative beliefs about future - Anxiety sensitivity |
|
Anxiety -related Rik Factors: Psychological- Learning Factors |
Two-factor model --- Event: scary experience/observation/ warning 1. Response to threat (classical conditioning) - dogs / parks / anxiety symptoms are scary 2. Anticipatory anxiety --> avoidance (operant conditioning) 3rd factor: Stressor activates biological vulnerability |
|
Anxiety -related Rik Factors: Sociocultural |
- Family Factors: teaching caution, fear, typvial response to stress - Stressful life events: interpersonal stressors in particular |
|
Major Depressive Episode: Clinical Picture |
Sad/empty mood and/or loss of interest/pleasure (anhedonia) PLUS - Cognitive symptoms: worthlessness, guilt, decreased concentration, thoughts of death) - Physcal symptoms (appetitie/weight change, sleep changes, psychomotor changes, fatigue) --> 2+ week period --> Not a "normal" response to loss/stressor --> Typical episode: 2-9 months (untreated) --> NOT chronic course - 1+ major depressive episode - Additional ratings: Episode/ recurrence (35-85% 1+ episode), Severity (dimensional rating), Features (psychosis? Postpartum? Season? Anxious?), "unipolar depression" PREVALENCE 16.6% |
|
Persistent Depressive Disorder: Clinical Picture |
- Chronic low mood for at least 2 years (no break of 2+ mons) - Lower intensity symptoms (typically) not more "severe" - chronic - May or may not have ALSO had major depressive episode - "double depression" ~ 20% - Used to be called "dysthymia" - Prevalence: 2.5% |
|
Manic episode: Clinical picture |
- Elevated or irritable mood - AND persistently increased goal - directed activity or energy - lasting 1 week (< if severe) |
|
Manic episode: Clinical picture - Cognitive symptoms |
Flight of ideas/ racing thoughts, grandiosity |
|
Manic episode: Clinical picture- Physical symptoms |
Hyperactivity, decreased sleep, rapid speech) |
|
Manic episode: Clinical picture- Behavioral symptoms |
increase in pleasurable high-risk activities |
|
Hypomanic episode: clinical picture |
- - No marked impairnment in functioing - Shorter tie period (at least 4 days) |
|
Bipolar Disorders: Bipolar I Disorder |
1. +/- depressive episodes 2. >= manic episode 3. +/- hypomanic episodes |
|
Bipolar Disorders: Bipolar II Disorder |
1. >= major depressive episode 2. 0 full manic episode 3. >= 1 hypomanic episode |
|
Bipolar Other facts |
- 10-15% Bipolar II --> Bipolar - Specifiers ( psychosis, rapid cycling) - Chronic course (overall pattern, not each episode) - PREVALENCE: 3.9% |
|
Cyclothymic Disorder: Cilinical Picture |
- Hypomania AND lower-intensity symptoms of depression - 2-year duration - 15-50% will go on to develop Bipolar I or II disorder - Chronic Course -Prevalenece ~ 1.5% |
|
Cyclothymic Disorder: Facts and Stats |
- Common: Any mood disorder: 20.8% - Lots of Comorbidity - Suicide' - Not actually as "polar" as we think ------- 70% in depressive episode also had some manic symptoms |
|
Other influential factors: Gender |
- Depressive disorders: Women > Men (70% women, wordwide) - Bipolar disorders: Women = Men |
|
Other influential factors: Culture |
- Depressive disorders: cultural variability (prevalence; symptoms) - Bipolar: nor as much culturally variability |
|
Other infuential factors: Typical age onset |
- Depressive disorders: adulthood (variable, more than 50% over 65) - Bipolar: late adolescence, acute onset not usually after 40 |
|
Mood Disorders: RISK FACTORS |
Heritability estimates: .37 - .5 depressive disorders ---> higher in women; enviorment --> men .75 - .80 for Bipolar Disorders - Genetics of mania - distinct - Maina - schizophernia -Depressive = anxiety disorders |
|
MD Risk Factors: Biological - Prefrontal cortex and limbic system |
· E.g., anterior cingulate cortex – goal pursuit, motivation · E.g., hippocampus and emotional learning |
|
MD Risk Factors: Biological: Seratonin |
· Low serotonin? (absolute levels of NTs)· More nuanced: Serotonin à regulates mood ANDother NT systems (dopamine, norepinephrine) |
|
MD Risk Factors: Biological: Dopamine |
· Drugs that increase dopamine --> hypomania · Sensitive reward circuits? (also a cognitivefactor!) some people have this |
|
MD Risk Factors: Biological:Neurohormones |
· WTF is exactly going on with NTs?
· More attention on stress hypothesis o Stresshormones also regulate basic functions (e.g., sleep, appetite) o Endocrinediseases (disease (e.g., hypothyroidism) àdepression o Over-activestress response --> cortisol --> depression ---- Celldeath in the limbic system – NTs can’t do their job -----Similarto anxiety disorders? |
|
MD Risk Factors: psycobiological |
- Temperment: Neuroticism (reacting with negative emotion) --> predicts onset of depression - Sleep and bipolar disorders: -----Sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disruption as triggers? |
|
MD Risk Factors: Psychological |
- Cognitive theories of depression: - Depressive Triad: Self, world, future - Hopelessness Theory ("learned helplessness") ---- Negative event --> stress --> helplessness and out of control --> anxiety --> hopeless about coping --> depression ----Attributions are : internal: my fault, stable: never going to change, global: will always be true |
|
MD Risk Factors: Sociocultural |
- Stress and life events --> Onset ---- Interpersonal (social rejection) --> depression ---- Behavioral (goal achievment) --> mania ----But 50-80% of people who experience severe stress are fine! - Marginalized group status (discrimination, poverty, etc) - Social support (risk of depression if living alone, pets help) |
|
Worry: |
Cognitive; concern about future threat - potential threat |
|
Anxiety |
