Study Notes

Behavioral Disorders and Treatment Options

Pyromania and Kleptomania are both mental health disorders characterized by specific behavioral patterns.
Pyromania involves repeated deliberate and purposeful fire-setting, accompanied by tension or arousal before the act, and pleasure or gratification during or after the act.
Arson, on the other hand, is a criminal act, and the key distinction is the compulsive/pathological nature of pyromania.
Treatment options for pyromania include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), covert sensitization, aversion therapy, and medication such as SSRIs and anti-anxiety meds.
Kleptomania is characterized by recurrent failure to resist the impulse to steal objects not needed for personal use, with tension before the act and pleasure or relief during the act.
Treatment options for kleptomania include medication such as naltrexone and SSRIs, as well as psychotherapy techniques like systematic desensitization and counter-conditioning.
Individuals with conduct disorder often have a history of trauma, and there is a high rate of comorbidity between conduct disorder and PTSD diagnoses.
The experience of unresolved trauma can lead to a range of serious behavioral concerns and psychological symptoms, including aggression and substance misuse.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is closely related to conduct disorder and personality disorders, characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others.
ADHD often coexists with ODD, with a third to half of children diagnosed with ADHD also having co-existing ODD.
The persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity in ADHD is more severe than typical for the developmental level.
The diagnostic criteria for ADHD include symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and individuals can have both ADHD and ODD.

Understanding Personality Disorders and Differential Diagnosis

Schizoaffective disorder is distinct from depressive/bipolar disorder with psychotic features, necessitating understanding the proportion of mood to psychotic symptoms over time and their concurrence.
Personality traits are enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself, while personality disorders manifest in at least two areas: cognition, affectivity, interpersonal functioning, and impulse control.
DSM-5-TR outlines various personality disorders including paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and others.
The overall prevalence of personality disorders is 9-15% among U.S. adults, with sex-specific prevalence and different clusters showing varied prevalence rates.
Personality disorders typically emerge in adolescence or early adulthood and may not be noticed until later in adulthood, with some symptoms becoming less prominent with age.
Differential diagnoses for personality disorders include psychotic disorders, substance use, anxiety, depression, neurocognitive disorders, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorders, PTSD, and personality changes due to medical conditions.
Cluster A personality disorders (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal) are characterized by distrust, detachment, and discomfort with relationships, each with specific diagnostic criteria.
Cluster B personality disorders (antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic) are marked by a focus on self, emotional instability, and objectification of others, each with specific diagnostic criteria.
Antisocial personality disorder, with a history of symptoms since age 15, is distinct from other diagnoses such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance use, and other personality disorders.
Borderline personality disorder presents with unstable relationships, mood, self-image, and impulsivity, with significantly elevated suicide risk.
Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by emotionality and attention-seeking behavior, while narcissistic personality disorder exhibits grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy.
Understanding the diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses for various personality disorders is crucial for accurate assessment and effective treatment planning.
