    Study Notes

    Eating Disorders: Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa

    • The dual pathway model of bulimia nervosa indicates binge eating episodes can be triggered by dieting and/or negative affect.
    • Historically, "anorexia" refers primarily to loss of appetite.
    • Treatment for bulimia nervosa shows that cognitive behavior therapy is typically more effective than antidepressants.
    • To meet DSM-5 criteria for binge eating disorder, an individual cannot have a history of anorexia or bulimia.
    • Anorexia nervosa most commonly affects young women, significantly more than other demographic categories.

    Behavioral Treatments and Binge Eating Disorder

    • Behavioral weight-loss treatments for individuals with binge eating disorder are associated with a decrease in binge eating.
    • The DSM-5 modified criteria for bulimia nervosa include binge and weight-control behaviors occurring at least once weekly.
    • Limitations in treating eating disorders include resistance to treatment and lack of sufficient understanding of disorders in men.

    Recovery and Pathological Gambling

    • Recovery from anorexia nervosa is often lengthy; many individuals do not fully recover.
    • Antidepressants can effectively reduce binge eating but are associated with high dropout and relapse rates.
    • Pathological gambling is now classified as gambling disorder in DSM-5, emphasizing an addiction model linking compulsive gambling to dopamine activity.

    Psychosis and Psychological Disorders

    • Individuals returning to high expressed emotion families post-psychotic episode have a greater relapse risk.
    • Symptoms of anxiety and depression commonly coexist with medically unexplained physical symptoms, challenging traditional illness models.
    • Predominantly, hallucinations in schizophrenia are auditory, while negative symptoms can be mistaken for depression.

    Treatment and Models in Psychotherapy

    • A combination of pharmacological approaches and cognitive behavior therapy may lead to symptom reduction in acute psychosis phases.
    • Several models explain the development of psychotic disorders, including the stress-vulnerability model incorporating both psychosocial and biological factors.

    Somatic Disorders and Dissociative Identity Disorder

    • Dissociative identity disorder is marked by a reported history of childhood trauma and psychological distress.
    • Treatments for chronic somatic symptoms may involve relaxation and challenging unhelpful thoughts, while exploring unconscious thoughts has not been shown to be effective.
    • The DSM-5 includes additional criteria for diagnosing dissociative identity disorder, incorporating aspects of pathological possession.

    Substance Use and Addictive Disorders

    • There exists a strong genetic component in the clustering of substance use disorders within families.
    • Disorders related to substance use demonstrate high comorbidity with mental health issues, highlighting self-medication tendencies and shared underlying causes.
    • Delays in first use of alcohol decrease the risk of later developing alcohol use disorders, potentially connected to various social and environmental factors.### Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory
    • Paralysis in an arm observed after witnessing a spouse's flirtation indicates signs of hysteria.
    • Defence mechanisms transform unacceptable impulses into either acceptable forms or make them unconscious.
    • Normal and abnormal behaviours arise from the conflict between id, ego, and superego.

    Mental Disorder Characteristics

    • Defined as syndromes characterized by disturbances in cognition and behaviour.
    • Dysfunctional behaviour disrupts a person’s daily functioning.
    • Mental disorders often exhibit high rates of comorbidity and exist on a severity continuum.

    DSM-5 Classification

    • The proposal for a dimensional classification system arises from the continuum nature of psychiatric disorders.
    • Comorbid conditions suggest greater underlying dimensions of psychopathology.
    • Psychiatric disorders should not be considered separate and independent.

    Critical Psychology Perspective

    • Mental health professionals can sometimes serve as agents of oppression, neglecting the social context.
    • Abnormal behaviour must be assessed within the context of the individual’s experiences and circumstances.

    Modern Approaches to Mental Disorders

    • The diathesis-stress model explains mental disorder vulnerability stemming from a combination of genetic, psychological, and sociocultural factors.
    • The biopsychosocial model emphasises the interplay of biological, psychological, and social influences on behaviour.

    Anxiety Disorders and Models

    • The hallmark of anxiety involves false alarms rather than true alarms.
    • Vicarious acquisition suggests fear responses are triggered by observing others.
    • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) addresses worries about both social and physical threats.

    Cognitive Behavioral Approaches and Therapies

    • Cognitive restructuring is a core component of CBT for PTSD, addressing dysfunctional beliefs.
    • Prolonged exposure therapy shows the best long-term outcomes for PTSD treatment.
    • Treatment plans for GAD must also include cognitive elements related to beliefs about worry.

    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    • OCD is characterised by obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours).
    • Common features include significant anxiety; approximately 50% of individuals with depression also exhibit anxiety symptoms.
    • Trichotillomania involves compulsive hair pulling as a manifestation of OCD-related behaviours.

    Depression and Bipolar Disorder

    • Depression can be biologically based; melancholic and psychotic depressions are thought to stem from biological factors.
    • Major depressive disorder's specifiers include inability to experience pleasure but do not incorporate onset due to grief.
    • Bipolar disorder features manic episodes characterised by inflated self-esteem, risk-taking, and expansive mood.

    Relapse and Treatment Mechanisms

    • The instability model of bipolar disorder identifies triggers for relapse, including medication non-adherence and disrupted routines.
    • Treatment strategies for bipolar may vary based on the phase of the condition (acute vs. maintenance).

    Summary of Treatment Modalities

    • Pharmacological treatments for bipolar disorder respond differently depending on the individual's current phase.
    • Cognitive behaviour therapy is integral for PTSD, including various techniques for managing symptoms and restructuring cognition.

    Prevalence and Social Contexts

    • Obsessive-compulsive disorder has a prevalence rate of around 2-3%.
    • Individuals with generalized anxiety disorder commonly worry about everyday life issues alongside specific threats.

    These notes encapsulate fundamental concepts and relationships among disorders, therapeutic approaches, and treatment highlights for effective studying.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Bipolar Disorder

    • Primary focus is on symptom monitoring and behavioral adjustments to manage bipolar disorder effectively.
    • A key method within CBT interventions is the practice of symptom monitoring to track mood fluctuations.

    Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

    • Efficacy for managing anxiety in bipolar disorder was demonstrated by the randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted by Perich et al. in 2013.

    Family-Focused Therapy (FFT)

    • FFT enhances family communication and problem-solving skills, which helps to reduce relapse rates in patients with bipolar disorder.
    • The RCT by Miklowitz et al. (2003) found that FFT resulted in fewer relapses compared to brief psychoeducation.

    Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT)

    • IPSRT was found to be more effective than standard management during the acute phase of treatment for bipolar disorder.

    Treatment Approaches

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be combined with minimal psychiatric care to reduce episodes of bipolar disorder.

    Historical Context of CBT in Bipolar Disorder

    • The first randomized controlled trial on CBT for bipolar disorder was conducted in 1984, marking a significant milestone in treatment research for this condition.
