    Study Notes

    Somatoform Disorders and the Nursing Approach

    • Somatic Symptom Disorders (SSD) are characterized by persistent worry and distress over physical symptoms.
    • Distress may or may not be associated with a confirmed medical condition.
    • Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to the symptoms are excessive.
    • Hypochondria is similar to SSD, but focuses more on the fear or worry of illness than the physical symptoms.
    • SSDs place a significant burden on the healthcare system due to frequent doctor visits, unnecessary tests, and potential misdiagnoses.
    • A patient experiencing frequent headaches, convinced they have a brain tumor, despite repeated negative tests.

    Types of SSD

    • Conversion Disorder (Conversion Reaction): Known as a loss or altered change in physical functioning. Manifestations can include paralysis, blindness, or difficulty speaking.
    • Factitious Disorder: Involves intentionally faking or exaggerating physical or psychological symptoms without external rewards. A parent might bring a child to the doctor claiming they are having seizures.

    Concepts of Primary and Secondary Gain

    • Primary Gain: A patient might develop paralysis to avoid being sent into battle, which avoids a dangerous combat zone.
    • Secondary Gain: The patient might receive extra care and support from family and medical personnel.

    • Usually accompanied by limited or no evidence.

    • Bipolar Disorder (Type 1 and Type 2): Characterized by episodes of mania (elevated mood, energy, or irritability) and major depressive episodes. Bipolar II disorder includes hypomania, where symptoms are less severe than full-blown mania, but still significant.
    • Cyclothymia: A chronic mood disorder with fluctuating hypomanic and depressive symptoms that last for at least two years.
    • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Chronic low-level depression lasting for at least two years (one year for children and adolescents).

    Schizophrenia/Psychotic Disorders

    • A chronic and severe mental disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly.
