    Study Notes

    Understanding Mental Disorders: Key Concepts and Models

    • Learned helplessness refers to the behavior of giving up or not responding when exposed to negative consequences over which individuals feel they have no control.
    • Seligman suggests that people's beliefs about the causes of failure (attributions) determine whether they will become depressed.
    • The biopsychosocial model posits that vulnerability is a person's diminished ability to deal with life events, and the link between vulnerability and stress is called the diathesis-stress model.
    • Bipolar disorder, initially known as manic-depressive disorder, involves extreme behavior variations between mania and depression, affecting about 1%-2% of the population with a strong genetic component.
    • Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, and dissociative identity disorder, characterized by sudden alterations in consciousness, identity, behavior, and/or memory.
    • Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental health disorder with early onset typically occurring in late adolescence or early adulthood, involving a range of symptoms affecting a person's thinking, emotions, and behaviors.
    • Schizophrenia exhibits positive symptoms (delusions, hallucinations) and negative symptoms (flat affect) and is characterized by distortions in emotional expression and disorganized thinking or speech.
    • Most theorists adopt a diathesis-stress model to explain the cause of schizophrenia, attributing it to genetic or biological vulnerability interacting with life stress.
    • Biological evidence suggests that brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and genetic factors play a role in predisposing individuals to schizophrenia.
    • Environmental factors, such as dysfunctional family dynamics, communication patterns, and learned helplessness, also contribute to the development or exacerbation of schizophrenia.
    • Operant conditioning, modeling and imitation, and family environment are behavioral theories that explain how maladaptive behaviors associated with schizophrenia may be reinforced, learned, or influenced by the social environment.
    • The concept of learned helplessness, proposed by Martin Seligman, suggests that individuals may become passive and unable to cope when they perceive that they have no control over their environment.
