Study Notes
Mental Health Disorders and Treatments
- Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia and is associated with low levels of acetylcholine and high levels of dopamine in the brain.
- Medical treatment for Alzheimer's includes cholinesterase inhibitors like rivastigmine and galantamine, tailored to the patient's symptoms.
- Nursing care for Alzheimer's patients involves meeting basic needs, maintaining a supportive environment, and providing appropriate milieu for therapy.
- Anxiety can trigger the fight or flight response, leading to physical adaptations such as increased respiratory rate, dilated pupils, and glycogen release.
- Four levels of anxiety are mild, moderate, severe, and panic, each with distinct physical and psychological symptoms.
- Chronic stress can lead to decreased immunity, increased acid production, hypertension, and other physical maladaptations.
- Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive worry and anxiety, while panic disorder involves intense, escalating anxiety episodes.
- Mental health specialists aim to reinforce positive behavior and help clients understand the importance of treatment.
- Phobias, such as agoraphobia and social phobia, can be treated using relaxation techniques and desensitization therapy.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unconscious thoughts and rituals used to decrease anxiety, and can be managed with behavior modification therapy.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with tragic events and can lead to emotional numbness, disturbing behavior, and increased risk of suicide.
- Treatment for PTSD includes encouraging individuals to verbalize their experiences, creating a therapeutic environment, and using medications to reduce anxiety.
Mental Health and Treatment Summary
- SSRI and SNRI drugs prevent reuptake of neurotransmitters, affecting serotonin and norepinephrine.
- Excitatory neurotransmitters include epinephrine, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine, while inhibitory neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
- Monoamine oxidase breaks down neurotransmitters in the synapse, and inhibitors are used to regulate mood and behavior.
- Medications including beta blockers, benzodiazepines, and high-alert drugs like narcotics require careful administration.
- Treatments for PTSD include cognitive processing, prolonged exposure, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
- Stress inoculation training and relaxation treatments are used for somatic disorders and pain disorders.
- Cyberchondriasis, body dysmorphia, and factitious disorders are examples of mental health disorders.
- Treatments for anxiety disorders involve medication, coping mechanisms, and changing thoughts and feelings to alter behavior.
- Mental health nursing interventions involve three phases: acute, stabilization, and community.
- Mood disorders include major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, bipolar disorder, and suicide.
- Depression treatments include medications such as SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and MAOIs, as well as psychotherapy and electro-convulsive therapy.
- Nursing considerations for patients with major depressive disorder involve prioritizing care based on psychological needs and providing support.
