1 DEPRESSIVE & BIPOLAR DISORDERS Presented by: Dr. A. Rechea 2 Learning Objectives Brief review of psychiatric evaluation Review the epidemiology, symptomatology, etiology and neurobiology, differential diagnosis, DSM-V criteria for diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders listed below: Depressive disorders: Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Bipolar and related disorders: Bipolar I disorder, Bipolar II disorder and Cyclothymic disorder. 3 Examination: Mental Status Examination (MSE) Actions Appearance Behavior Feelings Mood Affect Thoughts Speech Thought process Thought content Perception Cognition Observation Direct questions 4 MSE: emotional state Mood Affect This is the emotion that a patient feels This is the emotion that you can see expressed on a patient's face. It can over a longer period. Think of it as the change frequently, much like the weather climate of their emotional world. can change in a day. How the patient says they're feeling. What you understand from their words and behaviors. Remains relatively constant. Look for smiles, frowns, and other expressions. Notice if these expressions change quickly. Assess if their reactions are in line with the situation. 5 Mental Disorder What Are They? Mental health disorders are conditions where a person experiences changes or difficulties in their thinking, emotional control, or behavior. Why Do They Happen? These changes are often due to issues in how our bodies and minds develop and function. How Do They Affect Lives? They can lead to challenges in everyday life, such as in relationships, work, or other important areas. Key Point for Nurses: As a nurse, you might see patients struggling with these issues. It's important to recognize these signs and understand how they can impact a patient's life and care needs.

Review the epidemiology, symptomatology, etiology and neurobiology, differential diagnosis, DSM-V criteria for diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders listed below: Somatic symptom and related disorders: Somatic symptom disorder, Illness anxiety disorder, Conversion disorder (functional neurological symptom disorder) and Factitious disorder. Substance-related disorders: Substance use disorders and Substance/medication DSM V CRITERIA FOR SOMATIC SYMPTOM DISORDER Psychiatry A. One or more somatic symptoms that are distressing or result in significant disruption of daily life Diagnostic criteria (according to DSM-5) A.≥ 1 somatic symptom (e.g., heartburn, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain) that causes significant distress or impairment B.The patient exhibits excessive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to the somatic symptoms or health, manifested by ≥ 1 of the following: A.Disproportionate and constant thinking about the severity of symptoms B.Constant anxiety about symptoms or general health C.Excessive amounts of time and energy attending to symptoms or health concerns C.Duration: ≥ 6 months DSM V CRITERIA FOR ILLNESS ANXIETY DISORDER Affected individuals present with a persistent preoccupation with having or developing a serious Psychiatry illness despite recurrent medical examinations that find otherwise. Somatic symptoms are usually absent or mild, but patients spend large amounts of time and energy obsessing over their health and over the possibility of developing a disease. Motivation is unconscious; symptoms are not intentionally produced (opposite of factitious disorders) Epidemiology ♀ = ♂ Age of onset: usually early adulthood Strongly associated with comorbid anxiety or depressive disorders Diagnostic criteria (according to DSM-5) A. Preoccupation with having or acquiring an illness B. Somatic symptoms absent or mild C. Significant anxiety over health D. Excessive health-related behaviors (e.g., constantly checking for minor signs of illness) or maladaptive avoidance behaviors (e.g., avoiding doctor appointments and hospitals) Duration: ≥ 6 months Not better explained by another mental disorder DSM V CRITERIA FOR FACTITIOUS DISORDER DSM V CRITERIA FOR FACTITIOUS DISORDER IMPOSED ON OTHERS Factitious Disorder (Previously known as Münchhausen syndrome ) Previously known as Münchhausen syndrome by proxy Individuals intentionally falsify physical signs and symptoms, even through selfharm (e.g., injecting insulin), to assume the role of a patient. Type of child or elder abuse Epidemiology♀ > ♂ Associated with a history of significant exposure to health care (e.g., profession in health care, significant childhood illness, important relationship with a medical professional) and personality disorders (e.g., narcissistic, borderline, ) Assoiciated with a willingness to undergo invasive or risky treatments Patients intentionally produce symptoms in someone else (usually their child or aging parent). ♀ = ♂ Associated with a history of maternal abuse and personality disorders (e.g., narcissistic or borderline personality disorder) The deceptive behavior is evident even in the absence of obvious external rewards. Diagnostic Criteria Factitious Disorder Imposed on Self A. Falsification of physical or psychological signs or symptoms, or induction of injury or disease, associated with identified deception. B. The individual presents himself or herself to others as ill, impaired, or injured. C. The deceptive behavior is evident even in the absence of obvious external rewards. D. The behavior is not better explained by another mental disorder, such DSM V CRITERIA FOR CONVERSION DISORDER (FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOM DISORDER) Psychiatry A. One or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function. B. Clinical findings provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions. C. The symptom or deficit is not better explained by another medical or mental disorder. D. The symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation. Specify symptom type: With weakness or paralysis With abnormal movement (e.g., tremor, dystonic movement, myoclonus, gait disorder) With swallowing symptoms With speech symptom (e.g., dysphonia, slurred speech) With attacks or seizures Our patient With anesthesia or sensory loss With special sensory symptom (e.g., visual, olfactory, or hearing disturbance) With mixed symptoms Specify if: Acute episode: Symptoms present for less than 6 months. Persistent: Symptoms occurring for 6 months or more. Specify if: With psychological stressor (specify stressor) Without psychological stressor SOMATIC SYMPTOM AND RELATED DISORDERS AT A GLANCE Psychiatry FEATURE/ DISORDER SOMATIC SYMPTOM DISORDER Present Medical symptom Medical Present/ Absent explanation of symptom Anxiety Present related to the symptom 75% of previously diagnosed hypochondriacs ILLNESS ANXIETY DISORDER Absent/Mild CONVERSION FACTITIOUS DISORDER DISORDER Faked Absent Present (neurological) Absent Present Absent Absent 25% of previously diagnosed hypochondriacs Absent Malingering is an important differential diagnosis for factitious disorder Disorder Symptom production Factitious disorder Conscious Malingering Conscious Motivation External rewards Unconscious Even in their absence Conscious Present (Secondary gain) What are substance related disorders? Psychiatry All drugs that are taken in excess → direct activation of the brain reward system → involved in the reinforcement of behaviors and the production of memories Produce such an intense activation of the reward system that normal activities may be neglected Initial use- conscious and voluntary Continued use is due to the effects of the drug on brain functioning Cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating that the individual continues using the substance despite significant substance-related problems Sedatives Stimulants Alcohol Cocaine Barbiturates Amphetamine Benzodiazepines Ecstasy Minor: caffeine, nicotine Hallucinogens and related substances Opioids LSD, Cannabis- causes distortions Dissociative anesthetics like Ketamine and Phenylcyclidinecause depersonalization Heroin Morphine Codeine Methadone Oxycodone Fentanyl The substance-related disorders are divided into two groups: Psychiatry 1. Substance use disorders 2. Substance-induced disorders The following conditions may be classified as substanceinduced: ❖ Intoxication ❖ Withdrawal ❖ Other substance/medication-induced mental disorders 32 Substance use disorders-12 month period, 2 of 11 manifestations ❑Impaired Control (4): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Psychiatry Using more substance or for longer than intended. Unsuccessful attempts to cut down. Significant time lost in obtaining, using, or recovering from the substance. Strong craving or urge to use the substance. ❑Social Impairment (3): Failing to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home. Ongoing social or interpersonal issues. Giving up or reducing social and work activities. ❑Risky Use (2): o Using substances in dangerous situations. o Continued use despite knowing it's worsening physical or psychological problems. ❑Pharmacological Indicators (2): ❖ Tolerance: Needing more of the substance to feel the same effect. ❖ Withdrawal: Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using, or using to avoid withdrawal symptoms. 33 INTOXICATION Psychiatry A.
