Neurotic Disorder usually distressing but that allows one to think rationally and function socially Psychotic Disorder person loses contact with reality experiences irrational ideas and distorted perceptions Classifying Psychological Disorders
Organic ( Including Symptomatic) Mental Disorders Schizophrenia Mood Disorders Neurotic , Stress-related and Somatoform Disorders Disorders of Adult Personality and Behaviour Sexual Disorders Sleep Disorders Psychosomatic Disorders Child Psychiatry Types of Mental Disorders
Delirium, Dementia, Organic amnestic syndrome, etc. Organic Mental Disorders
Delirium is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by disturbances in consciousness, orientation, memory, thought, perception, and behaviour due to one or more structural and/or physiological abnormalities directly or indirectly affecting the brain. Delirium is the most appropriate substitute for a variety of names used in the past such as acute confusional states , acute brain syndrome , acute organic reaction , toxic psychosis, and metabolic (and other acute ) encephalopathies . Delirium
Clinical Features Fluctuating level of consciousness Inattention Disorientation Memory impairment (especially recent events) Speech & Language disturbance Sleep disturbance Perceptual disturbances Thought process abnormalities Agitation Apathy and withdrawal Emotional (affective) disturbances Delirium conte …
Predisposing Factors in Delirium Pre-existing brain damage or dementia Extremes of age (very old or very young) Previous history of delirium Alcohol or drug dependence Chronic medical illness Surgical procedure and postoperative period Present or past history of head injury Treatment with psychotropic medicines Delirium conte …
Dementia is a chronic organic mental disorder, characterised by the following main clinical features : Impairment of intellectual functions , Impairment of memory (predominantly of recent memory , especially in early stages ), Deterioration of personality with lack of personal care. Impairment of all these functions occurs globally , causing interference with day-to-day activities and interpersonal relationships. There is impairment of judgement and impulse control, and also impairment of abstract thinking. There is however usually no impairment of consciousness DEMENTIA
Additional features may also be present. These include: Emotional liability (marked variation in emotional expression). Catastrophic reaction (when confronted with an assignment which is beyond the residual intellectual capacity , patient may go into a sudden rage ). Thought abnormalities, e.g. perseveration, delusions. Urinary and faecal incontinence may develop in later stages. Disorientation in time; disorientation in place and person may also develop in later stages . DEMENTIA conten …..
Medical Risk Factors Atherosclerosis Cholesterol Homocysteine Diabetes Psychological and Experimental factors Down syndrome Genetics and Life style Risk factors Age Genetics Smoking Alcohol use Risk factors for dementia
Organic amnestic syndrome is characterised by the following clinical features: 1. Impairment of memory due to an underlying organic cause, 2. No severe disturbance of consciousness and attention (unlike delirium), and 3. No global disturbance of intellectual function, abstract thinking and personality (unlike dementia ). The impairment of memory is characterised by a severe impairment of recent memory or short-term memory (inability to learn new material). This is associated with impaired remote memory or long-term memory ( inability to recall previously learned material ). There is however no impairment of immediate memory (i.e. immediate retention and recall). ORGANIC AMNESTIC SYNDROME
According to ICD-10, the following features are required for the diagnosis: recent memory impairment (anterograde and retrograde amnesia), no impairment of immediate retention and recall, attention, consciousness , and global intellectual functioning, Historical or objective evidence of brain disease or injury (occurs particularly with bilateral involvement of diencephalic and medial temporal structures). Diagnosis
Schizophrenia is defined by “Schizophrenia is characterized by Disturbance in thought, Perception, Affect, Motor behavior and Relationship to the External World” a group of characteristic positive and negative symptoms deterioration in social, occupational, or interpersonal relationships continuous signs of the disturbance for at least 6 months Schizophrenia
First Rank Symptoms (SFRS) of Schizophrenia Audible thoughts : Voices speaking out thoughts aloud or ‘ thought echo ’. Voices heard arguing : Two or more hallucinatory voices discussing the subject in third person. Voices commenting on one’s action . Thought withdrawal : Thoughts cease and subject experiences them as removed by an external force. Thought insertion : Experience of thoughts imposed by some external force on person’s passive mind. Thought diffusion or broadcasting : Experience of thoughts escaping the confines of self and as being experienced by others around. Schizophrenia cont ….
The life-time risk of manic episode is about 0.8- 1 %. This disorder tends to occur in episodes lasting usually 3-4 months, followed by complete clinical recovery . The future episodes can be manic, depressive or mixed . A manic episode is typically characterised by the following features (which should last for at least one week and cause disruption in occupational and social activities). Manic episode
Clinical Features Talkative Over activeness Restlessness Over happiness Irritable behavior High level Food intake Irrelevant investments Expansive ideas Over confidence Religiosity Violent and destructive Reckless driving Low Sleep rate Manic episode conti ..
Stages a . Euphoria (mild elevation of mood): An increased sense of psychological well-being and happiness, not in keeping with ongoing events. This is usually seen in hypomania (Stage I). b. Elation (moderate elevation of mood): A feeling of confidence and enjoyment, along with an increased psychomotor activity. Elation is classically seen in mania (Stage II). c. Exaltation (severe elevation of mood): Intense elation with delusions of grandeur; seen in severe mania (Stage III). d. Ecstasy (very severe elevation of mood): Intense sense of rapture or blissfulness; typically seen in delirious or stuporous mania (Stage IV). Manic episode conti ..
The life-time risk of depression in males is 8-12% and in females is 20-26%. However, the life-time risk of major depression (or depressive episode) is about 8 %. The typical depressive episode is characterised by the following features (which should last for at least two weeks for a diagnosis to be made): Depressive Episode
Clinical Features The lowered mood varies little from day to day, is unresponsive to circumstances symptoms : loss of interest or pleasure in activities that are normally enjoyable (anhedonia ) & Depressed mood lack of emotional reactivity to normally pleasurable surroundings and events Less amount of Talk & Social withdrawal High rate of Sleep & lack of Energy loss of appetite weight loss loss of libido Poor Hygiene Depressive Episode cont..
Stages 1. Mild Depressive Episode For mild depressive episode are typical depressed mood, anhedonia and increased fatigability. The afflicted person is usually distressed by the symptoms and has some difficulty in continuing with ordinary work and social activities, but will probably not cease to function completely . Duration <1 week 2. Moderate Depressive Episode An individual with moderate depressive episode suffers from more symptoms (f our or more of the above symptoms are usually present ) of greater severity and will usually have considerable difficulty in continuing with social, work or domestic activities . Duration 1> week Depressive Episode cont..
3. Severe Depressive Episode In a severe depressive episode , the sufferer usually shows considerable distress or agitation. Loss of self-esteem or feelings of uselessness or guilt are likely to be prominent, and suicide is a distinct danger in particularly severe cases Duration 1>6 months
Bipolar affective disorder is characterized by repeated, at least two episodes in which the patient’s mood and activity levels are significantly disturbed (manic or depressive syndromes, patients who suffer only from repeated episodes of mania are comparatively rare). The first episode may occur at any age from childhood to old age. The frequency of episodes and the pattern of remissions and relapses are both very variable. The lifetime prevalence is between 0,5 an 1 %. Suicidality – about 19%. Comorbidity with alcohol and drug abuse Bipolar mood (affective) disorder
Recurrent depressive disorder is characterized by repeated episodes of depression without any history of independent episodes of mood elevation and over activity. Recovery is usually complete between episodes, but a substantial part of patients will have a recurrence and about 30% may develop a persistent depression. The lifetime prevalence - about 10—20 %; women: men 2:1. The risk of suicide (approximately 10—15%. Recurrent depressive disorder
Persistent mood disorders are persistent and usually fluctuating disorders of mood in which individual episodes are not sufficiently severe to warrant being described as hypomanic or even mild depressive episodes. Dysthymia . An adult person with depressive symptoms up to 2 years. cyclothymia persistent instability of mood, involving periods of mild depression and mild elation is typical Persistent mood disorder
Seasonal affective disorder - onset of mood symptoms is connected with changes of seasons, with depression typically occurring during the winter months and remissions or changes from depression to mania occurring during the spring. R apid-cycling - identifies those patients who have had at least four episodes of a major depressive, manic, or mixed episode during the past 12 months . Post partum Psychosis Other mood disorders
Anxiety is the commonest psychiatric symptom in clinical practice and anxiety disorders are one of the commonest psychiatric disorders in general population . Anxiety is a ‘normal’ phenomenon, which is characterised by a state of apprehension or unease arising out of anticipation of danger. Anxiety is often differentiated from fear, as fear is an apprehension in response to an external danger while in anxiety the danger is largely unknown (or internal) anxiety disorder
1. Physical Symptoms A. Motoric Symptoms: Tremors; Restlessness; Muscle twitches; Fearful facial expression B. Autonomic and Visceral Symptoms: Palpitations; Tachycardia ; Sweating; Flushes; Dyspnoea; Hyperventilation ; Constriction in the chest; Dry mouth ; Frequency and hesitancy of micturition; Dizziness ; Diarrhoea; Mydriasis 2.

Other Symptoms: Insomnia (initial); Increased sensitivity to noise; Exaggerated startle response. Symptoms of Anxiety
Panic Disorder is characterised by discrete episodes of acute anxiety . The essential features are recurrent attacks of severe anxiety (panic attacks) which are not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances. Typical symptoms are palpitations, chest pain, choking sensations, dizziness, and feelings of unreality (depersonalization or decrealization). Individual attacks usually last for minutes only. The frequency of attacks varies substantially. Frequent and predictable panic attacks produce fear of being alone or going into public places. The afflicted persons used to think that they got a serious somatic disease. The course of panic disorder is long-lasting and is complicated with various comorbidities, in half of the cases with agoraphobia . Panic Disorder
Phobia is defined as an irrational fear of a specific object , situation or activity, often leading to persistent avoidance of the feared object, situation or activity . The common types of phobias are: Agoraphobia , Social phobia, and Specific ( Simple) phobia . Phobic anxiety disorder
Presence of the fear of an object, situation or activity. The fear is out of proportion to the dangerousness perceived . Patient recognises the fear as irrational and unjustified ( Insight is present ). Patient is unable to control the fear and is very distressed by it. This leads to persistent avoidance of the particular object , situation or activity. Gradually , the phobia and the phobic object become a preoccupation with the patient, resulting in marked distress and restriction of the freedom of mobility (afraid to encounter the phobic object; phobic avoidance ). Phobia: Some Characteristic Features
Agoraphobia : - the fear from marketplace. Agoraphobia includes various phobias embracing fears of leaving home: fears of entering shops, crowds, and public places, or of traveling alone in trains, buses, underground or planes. The lack of an immediately available exit is one of the key features of many agoraphobic situations. The avoidance behavior causes sometimes that the sufferer becomes completely housebound . Phobia : types
Social Phobias : irrational fear of activities or social interaction, characterised by an irrational fear of performing activities in the presence of other people or interacting with others. The patient is afraid of his own actions being viewed by others critically, resulting in embarrassment or humiliation. Direct eye-to-eye confrontation may be stressful. Low self-esteem and fear of criticism. Symptoms may progress to panic attacks. Avoidance - almost complete social isolation. Usually start in childhood or adolescence. It is equally common in both sexes. Phobia: types
Specific (Isolated) Phobias: Fears of proximity to particular animals spiders ( arachnophobia ) insects ( entomophobia ) snakes ( ophidiophobia) Fears of specific situations such as heights (acrophobia) thunder (keraunophobia) darkness (nyctophobia) closed spaces (claustrophobia) Fears of diseases, injuries or medical examinations visiting a dentist the sight of blood (hemophobia) or injury (pain —odynophobia) the fear of exposure to venereal diseases (syphilidophobia) or AIDS-phobia. Phobia: types
Obsessional thought are ideas, images or impulses that enter the individual’s mind again and again in a stereotyped form. They are recognized as the individual’s own thoughts, even though they are involuntary and often repugnant. Common obsessions include fears of contamination, of harming other persons or sinning against God. Compulsions are repetitive, purposeful, and intentional behaviors or mental acts performed in response to obsessions or according to certain rule that must be applied rigidly. Compulsions are meant to neutralize or reduce discomfort or to prevent a dreaded event or situation. Autonomic anxiety symptoms are often present. Obsessive-compulsory symptoms may appear in early stages of schizophrenia. The life time prevalence : 2 - 3%. E qually common in men and women. OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
The neurobiological model has received widespread support in the past decade. OCD occurs more often in persons who have various neurological disorders, including cases of head trauma, epilepsy, birth injury, abno rm al EEG findings, abnormal auditory evoked potentials, growth delays, and abnormalities in neuropsychological test results. The most widely studied biochemical model has focused on the neurotransmitter serotonin because SRIs are effective in treating patients with OCD . . Pharmacotherapy Cognitive - behavior therapy Family therapy Patient support groups Psychosurgery ETIOLOGY & Clinical Management
Personality is defined as a deeply ingrained pattern of behaviour that includes modes of perception , relating to and thinking about oneself and the surrounding environment . Personality traits are normal, prominent aspects of personality.

The sexual disorders can be classified into four main types : Gender identity disorders. Paraphilia's (disorders of sexual preference). Sexual dysfunctions . Sexual Disorders Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs. Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine. Sex = male and female Gender = masculine and feminine
“ Gender identity refers to one’s sense of oneself as male, female, or transgender” Gender identity disorders are characterised by disturbance in gender identity, i.e. the sense of one’s masculinity or femininity is disturbed. This group includes : Features:- Man or Woman? Trapped in the Body of the Wrong Sex Transexualism Transgendered Rare Gender identity disorders
Nature: Goal is Not Sexual No Physical Abnormalities Independent of Sexual Arousal Patterns May be Attracted to People With Desired Identity Causes: No Specific Biological Link, but… Probably Developed Early in Life Gender identity disorders cont …..

The common dysfunctions include the following: Sexual Desire Disorders Sexual Arousal Disorders Orgasm Disorders Sexual Pain Disorders Types
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder Little or no interest in any type of sexual activity Masturbation, sexual fantasies, and intercourse are rare in this disorder Accounts for half of all complaints at sexuality clinics 22% of women and 5% of men suffer from this disorder Sexual Aversion Disorder Little interest in sex Extreme fear, panic, or disgust related to physical or sexual contact 10% of males report panic attacks during attempted sexual activity Sexual Desire Disorders

There are several types of sleep disorders known. The ASDC (Association for Sleep Disorders Centre) has done a lot of work in classifying the various sleep disorders and their classification has been adapted for use both by DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10. The sleep disorders are known as non-organic sleep disorders in ICD-10. The various sleep disorders are divided in 2 subtypes: I. Dyssomnias Insomnia Hypersomnia Disorders of sleep-wake schedule. II . Parasomnias Stage 4 sleep disorders Other sleep disorders. SLEEP Disorders
The sleep itself is pretty normal. But the client sleeps too little, too much, or at the wrong time. So , the problem is with the amount (quantity), or with its timing, and sometimes with the quality of sleep . Insomnia- too little sleep Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep Persists for 1 month or longer Often due to: Major Depressive Episode, Manic Episode, or anxiety disorder Commonly misused substances, as well as some prescription medicines. Breathing-related problems The cause sometimes can not be identified. Dyssomnias : types
Hypersomnia - sleeping too much Excessive sleepiness Persists for 1 month or longer Often due to : Major Depressive Episode, Dysthymic Disorder with atypical features Use of substances is less likely to produce hyersomnia than insomnia, but it can happen (e.g., sleeping pills overdose) The cause sometimes can not be identified. Treatmen t: Exercise when becoming sleepy Dyssomnias : types
Narcolepsy - (Sleeping at the wrong time) Sleep intrudes into wakefulness, causing clients to fall asleep almost instantly Sleep is brief but refreshing May also have sleep paralysis, sudden loss of strength, and hallucinations as fall asleep or awaken . Treatment : Stimulants, sometimes antidepressants, with less success. Dyssomnias : types
Something abnormal occurs during sleep itself, or during the times when the client is falling asleep or waking up (e.g., bad dreams .) The quality, quantity, and timing of the sleep are essentially normal . Nightmare Disorder- Repeated awakenings from bad dreams When awakened client becomes oriented and alert The same nightmare may recur repeatedly or different ones may pop up three times a week. Stress may induce 60% of nightmares. Half of the cases of nightmare disorder appear before age 10; 2/3 before age 20. Dreams are clearly remembered Drugs can trigger nightmares. Parasomnias types
Sleep Terror Disorder- Abrupt awakening from sleep, usually beginning with a panicky scream or cry. Intense fear and signs of autonomic arousal Unresponsive to efforts from other to calm client No detailed dream recalled Usually only children have sleep terror disorder. The client is not having a nightmare. The eyes are open, screams erupt. Usually happens in early evening. Parasomnias types
Sleepwalking Disorder- Rising from bed during sleep and walking about. Usually occurs early in the night. On awakening, the person has amnesia for episode Most sleepwalking children are psychologically normal. Runs in families. Begins between ages 6 and 12 and may be stress-related.
