Study Notes
Wilson's Disease
- An inherited disorder causing copper accumulation in the body, primarily liver and brain.
- Caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, responsible for copper transport and excretion.
- Accumulation in the liver can lead to cirrhosis.
- Accumulation in the brain leads to neurological symptoms like tremors, speech difficulties, and psychiatric issues.
- Diagnosis involves clinical presentation, lab tests, and genetic testing.
- Treatment aims at removing excess copper and preventing further accumulation.
Psychiatric Symptoms
- Running commentary: A voice providing continuous commentary on thoughts, feelings, or actions.
- Thought echo: Hearing one's thoughts repeated as if spoken aloud.
- Thought insertion: Thoughts being inserted into the mind without consent.
- Thought withdrawal: Thoughts being taken out of the mind without consent.
- Thought broadcast: Belief that one's thoughts are being transmitted to others.
- Delusional perception: A normal perception altered or manipulated by an external force.
- Somatic passivity: Belief one's body is being controlled by an external force.
- Made affect: Belief one's feelings are controlled by an external force.
- Made volition: Belief one's impulses or behavior are controlled by an external force
Assessment of Psychiatric Disorders
- Important first step: Observing the patient's behaviour and appearance.
- Question type: Open-ended questions for detailed information about symptoms, treatment, and medical history.
- Mental State Examination (MSE) steps: Observing patient behaviour and appearance, followed by open-ended questioning about symptoms, treatment, and medical history.
- Alcohol Abuse Screening: NICE recommends the AUDIT screening tool.
- FAST (Fast Alcohol Screening Test): A simple ten-question test to screen for excessive drinking, but not to diagnose alcoholism.
- Psychiatric History Focus: Current mental state, symptoms, functioning level, and past psychiatric history.
