Study Notes
- Learned helplessness is a behavior exhibited by people and animals when they feel they have no control over negative consequences.
- Seligman suggests that people's beliefs about the causes of failure can determine whether they will become depressed.
- The Biopsychosocial Model highlights vulnerability as a person's diminished ability to cope with life events.
- The diathesis-stress model explains that the link between vulnerability and stress can initiate depression.
- Bipolar Disorder, originally known as manic-depressive disorder, is a mental health condition where people experience behavior varying between two extremes.
- Mania involves rapid speech, inflated self-esteem, impulsiveness, euphoria, and decreased need for sleep.
- Depression meets the criteria for a major depressive episode.
- About 1%-2% of the population has bipolar disorder, with a strong genetic component.
- Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, and dissociative identity disorder.
- Dissociative identity disorder (previously called multiple personality disorder) involves the existence of two or more distinct personalities or ego states.
- Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental health disorder characterized by a range of symptoms affecting thinking, emotions, and behaviors.
- Early onset is in late adolescence or early adulthood, and it involves lack of reality testing, deterioration of social and cognitive functioning, and inability to meet the demands of life.
- Positive symptoms include delusions and hallucinations, while negative symptoms include flat affect and disorganized thinking or speech.
- There is a strong genetic component to schizophrenia, and schizophrenia runs in families.
- Neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including enlarged ventricles, increased sulci size, and hypofrontality, have been identified in individuals with schizophrenia.
- Neurotransmitter dysfunction, specifically dopamine and serotonin, is implicated in individuals with schizophrenia.
- Behavioral theories, such as parental confusion, imitation of maladaptive behaviors, and dysfunctional family dynamics, have been proposed to explain the cause of schizophrenia.
- Learned helplessness may contribute to the development of schizophrenia by making individuals passive and unable to cope with their environment.
