    Study Notes

    Psychological Disorders 1

    • What constitutes a disorder?
      • It's a symptom cluster, not a single disorder.
      • Occurs across various disorders.
    • Classifying and Diagnosing Disorders
      • Lecture 11 covers Mood and Anxiety Disorders.
      • Lecture 12 covers Psychosis, Schizophrenia, and Personality Disorders.

    Psychosis

    • It's a symptom cluster, not a disorder.
      • It's present in many disorders, including Schizophrenia, Bipolar I disorder, Delusional disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Depression with psychotic features, Schizoaffective disorder, Dementia, and other causes like drug use, medication reactions, health conditions, head injury, or trauma.

    Psychosis Symptoms

    • Hallucinations:
      • Auditory (hearing voices)
      • Visual (seeing things that aren't there)
      • Tactile (feeling things that aren't there)
    • Delusions:
      • Grandeur (believing you have special abilities)
      • Persecution (believing people are out to get you)
      • Religious (believing you have a special connection to God)
    • Disorganization:
      • Thought (difficulty concentrating or following a train of thought)
      • Speech (disjointed or illogical speech)
      • Activity (unusual or purposeless movements)
    • Often preceded by a prodromal period: This is a period of time before the full-blown symptoms appear, where subtle changes in behavior or thinking may be noticed.

    Psychosis Causes

    • Genetic vulnerability:
      • A predisposition for developing psychosis may be inherited from family members.
    • Environmental/Psychological Triggers:
      • Substance use (drugs, alcohol)
      • Periods of stress or change
      • Lack of sleep
      • Illness
    • Socio-cultural Factors:
      • The interaction of social and cultural factors with individual experiences may contribute to the development of psychosis.

    Research: Is marijuana use a risk factor for psychosis?

    • This is an ongoing area of research, and evidence suggests that marijuana use may increase the risk for developing psychosis.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the connection between marijuana use and psychosis.

    Self-Serving Bias

    • Success: Attributed internally
    • Failure: Attributed externally
    • This helps with self-presentation
           Stable                Unstable
             Ability        Difficulty
                    Effort         Luck
