  • Trauma severity and individual resilience play crucial roles.
  • Non-violent disasters can cause PTSD, but these incidents usually evoke less intense/ debilitating symptoms compared to man-made traumatic events.

Bipolar II

  • Bipolar II is a mood disorder characterized by cyclical low and high moods.
  • The low moods are generally depressive episodes.
  • High moods are less severe than manic episodes in Bipolar I.
  • Antidepressants can trigger manic episodes in those with Bipolar II.
  • Mood stabilizers are often necessary to prevent rapid cycling and more manageable mood regulation in Bipolar II sufferers.

Suicide

  • Suicide risk is more pronounced in certain groups.
  • Copy-cat instances of suicide are culturally influenced.
  • Risk factors include life stressors and mental health conditions.
  • Mental health professionals should address demographic, stressor and mental health aspects when considering suicide risk.

Psychotherapy with Suicidal Patients

  • Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring thoughts, fears, and fantasies.
  • Supportive and empathic environments facilitate trust and communication.
  • Developmental approaches and socialization are integrated into the treatment plan.
  • Therapeutic alliance and patient-centered care are fundamental elements in interventions.

Self-Medication Hypothesis of Addictive Disorders

  • Substance use is often a coping mechanism for managing emotional distress or psychological disorders.
  • Substances are chosen to match individual needs.
  • Self-medication is a maladaptive response often requiring more intensive treatment.
  • Often involves unresolved trauma and difficulty regulating emotions and/or personality vulnerabilities.

Conduct Disorder (CD)

  • Conduct disorder is a condition characterized by persistent behavior that violates social norms or rules.
  • Behaviors include aggression, property damage, theft, or deceit.
  • Prevalence rates vary depending on location (e.g., country).
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to address CD.
  • CD can co-occur with other conditions (e.g., ADHD).

Bipolar Disorder

  • Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition characterized by alternating periods of mania and depression.
  • Bipolar I involves manic episodes.
  • Bipolar II involves hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes.
  • Symptoms can significantly impair functioning and quality of life.
