What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry (from the Greek words "psyche" - the soul, " iatreia " - treatment) is a branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders.

Difference between psychiatry and psychology? - psychiatrist has attended medical school and is a physician and therefore holds an M.D. - in residency received specialised training in the field of psychiatry - psychiatry tends to focus mainly on the use of medications for treatment

When you speak to God it's called praying ; but when God speaks to you it's called schizophrenia . 2/15/17 8 A SUZY PRESENTATION

The criteria of mental health awareness and feeling of continuity, constancy and identity of one's physical and mental self; feeling of constancy and identity of experience in similar circumstances; insight (good judgement ) concerning oneself, one's own mental production and its results; accordance (adequacy) of mental reactions to intensity and frequency of environmental influences,, social circumstances and situations; capacity to self-regulation of one's behaviour in accordance with social norms, rules and laws; capacity to plan one's life activities and to realise these plans; capacity to change one's behaviour depending on the changes of life situations and circumstances.

Classification mental disorders (ICD-10) F00-09Organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders F10-19 Mental and behavioural disorders due to psychoactive substance use F20-29 Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders F30-39 Mood (affective) disorders F40-48Neurotic,stress-related and somatoform disorders F50-59 Behavioural syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors F60-69 Disorders of adult personality and behaviour F70-79 Mental retardation F80-89 Disorders of psychological development F90-98 Behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence

Classification of mental disorders on the basis of aetiology and pathogenesis 1) endogenous disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and genuine epilepsy) caused by internal mechanisms, the nature of which isn't yet quite clear; these are disorders with he­reditary predisposition. 2) exogenous disorders, caused by ex­ternal reasons: infection, intoxication, head injury, etc.; 3) psychogenous disorders are caused by psychological trauma (posttraumatic stress syndrome) and other psychological factors (adjustment dis­orders, behavioural disorders, neuroses, etc.).

ВІДЕО 2

Tasks psychiatry to study the aetiology and pathogenesis of mental disorders; to carry out their classification; to investigate the epidemiology of mental disturbances; to study the symptoms and signs, as well as syndromes and the clinical course of different mental disorders; to develop find practice effective methods of their diagnosing; to work out and use efficient treatment methods; to develop a network of mental health services for the population; to develop a system for the prevention of mental disorders.

History of development of psychiatry the first period (pre-scientific), characterised by primitive religious understanding of the mentally ill people's abnormal behaviour; the secend period of ancient antique medicine, a more progressive period, when the first attempts at organising mental health treatment were made; the third period, corresponding to the Middle Ages, was in general a period or regress, when psychiatry returned to its prescientific period (theological scholastics);

the fourth period, from the beginning of the XVIII to the beginning of XIX century was the stage of formation of psychiatry part of the medical science; the fifth period was the epoch of E. Krepellin's nosological psychiatry. The creation of a nosological classification of mental disorders was the main outcome of this stage; the sixth period, modern stage of development of psychiatry, formed in the XX century can be called the period of social psychiatry; it is characterised by wide development community, social forms of mental health services; somatological aspects of mental disorders got more attention.

Psychopharmacotherapy - studying of action on mentality of medicinal substances. Social psychiatry.

Addictology - studies influence of the psychotropic substances on a condition of the person. Trans-cultural psychiatry - is engaged in comparison of a mental pathology in the different countries, cultures. Orthopsychiatry - surveys alienations from the point of view of different disciplines. Biological psychiatry. Sexology. Suicidology. Military psychiatry - studies posttraumatic stressful frustration, psychopathology a wartime. Ecological psychiatry - studies influence of ecological factors on mentality.

Mental Illness What are the symptoms of Mental Illness ? What do you think causes Mental Illness ?

Mental illness can occur when the brain (or part of the brain) is not working well or is working in the wrong way.

Thinking When the brain is not working properly , one or more of its 6 functions will be disrupted Perception Emotion Signaling Behavior Physical

Symptoms can include Sleep problems Extreme emotional highs and lows Thinking difficulties or problems focusing attention

When these symptoms significantly disrupt a person’s life, we say that the person has a mental disorder or a mental illness .

So, what are the CAUSES of mental illness??

Well, the causes of mental illness are COMPLICATED!! Genetics Environment + → Brain Disorder

Basic Terms in Psychiatry Psychiatry studies the causes of mental disorders, gives their description, predicts their future course and outcome, looks for prevention of their appearance and presents the best ways of their treatment Psychopathology describes symptoms of mental disorders Special psychiatry is devoted to individual mental diseases General psychiatry studies psychopathological phenomena, symptoms of abnormal states of mind: 1. consciousness 5. mood (emotions) 2. perception 6. intelligence 3. thinking 7. motor 4. memory 8. personality

Disorders of Consciousness Consciousness is awareness of the self and the environment Disorders of consciousness: qualitative quantitative short-term long-term Hypnosis – artificially incited change of consciousness Syncope – short-term unconsciousness

Disorders of Consciousness Quantitative changes of consciousness mean reduced vigility (alertness): somnolence sopor coma Qualitative changes of consciousness mean disturbed perception, thinking, affectivity, memory and consequent motor disorders : delirium (confusional state) – characterized by disorientation, distorted perception, enhanced suggestibility, misinterpretations and mood disorders obnubilation (twilight state) – starts and ends abruptly, amnesia is complete; the patient is disordered, his acting is aimless, sometimes aggressive, hard to understood stuporous vigilambulant delirious Ganser sy

Disturbances of Perception Perception is a process of becoming aware of what is presented through the sense organs Imagery means an experience within the mind, usually without the sense of reality that is part of reality Pseudoillusions – distorted perception of objects which may occur when the general level of sensory stimulation is reduced Illusions are psychopathological phenomena; they appear mainly in conditions of qualitative disturbances of consciousness (missing insight) Hallucination are percepts without any obvious stimulus to the sense organs; the patient is unable to distinguish it from reality

Disturbances of Perception Hallucinations: auditory (acousma) visual olfactory gustatory tactile (or deep somatic) extracampine, inadequate intrapsychic (belong rather to disturbances of thinking) hypnagogic and hypnopompic (hypnexagogic) Pseudohallucinations - patient can distinguish them from reality

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS AND PSYCHOSIS Neurosis is when a patient suffers from emotional or intellectual disorders which causes subjective distress, but does not lose touch with reality. Psychosis is characterised by gross impairment in reality-testing(with drawl from reality), as if living in a world of fantasy. 118 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS PSYCHOSIS 3/5/2015 119

A SUZY PRESENTATION PSYCHOSIS Psychoses are usually of the following two types: 1. Manic-depressive Psychosis: It is expressed in following two phases: (a) Mania phase: In this, the person is very active, full of life, talking too much, mostly irreverent, the mood is elated and he does some action continuously. But he does not have touch with reality. He can commit any crime during this phase. Sleep is very less. Appetite is also less. 120 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION PSYCHOSIS (b) Depressive phase: It is just the reverse of mania. The person is very sad, mood is depressed. The person sits alone and may speak very little. Touch with reality is not there. He may commit suicide. The motor functions are also quite depressed. A person suffering from manic depressive psychosis may fluctuate between the two phases of mania and depression. It may be possible that the person may be normal between the two phases of mania. This may be lucid interval and the person is completely responsible for his actions. 121 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS Neurosis is a minor mental illness. It is of following types: 1 . Anxiety Neurosis: It is a very common variety. The person remains anxious about future events, relationships and individuals. His pulse rate may be high, blood pressure raised, respiratory rate high and he may be sweating. He may be restless, confused and apprehensive. Treatment usually involves counseling and use of anti-anxiety drugs like diazepam. Meditation also helps a lot. 122 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS Depression: It is the reverse of anxiety. Here, a person would be aloof, sad and withdrawn. His motor activities would be quite less. He may have a low appetite and may not eat well. However, in chronic cases of depression, the person may keep on eating the whole day, while withdrawn at home and hence may gain weight. The following are the types of depression commonly seen: 123 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS Reactive depression: It may be due to some event or situation like the death of spouse or a near one, failure in exam, love, etc. It usually remains there for sometime. Some form of reactive depression is seen in all individuals. Usually, with counseling and use of anti-depressive drugs, most come out of it. 124 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION NEUROSIS Endogenous depression: It is more serious as its etiology is not known and develops slowly. Early morning awakening, loss of appetite and mood depression are quite common. This depression may be associated with psychosis too, where it carries a bad prognosis. Usually with anti-depressive drugs, most of the individuals recover. 125 3/5/2015

A SUZY PRESENTATION DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEUROSIS AND PSYCHOSIS 126 S.NO FEATURE PSYCHOSIS NEUROSIS 1 Contact with reality lost Preserved 2 Interpersonal behavior Marked disturbance in reality and behavior Preserved 3 Empathy Absent Present 4 Insight Absence of understanding current symptoms Symptoms are recognised as undesirable 5 Organic causative factor Present absent 6 Symptoms Delusions.
