An unstable trinucleotide-repeat region on chromosome 13 implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia: a common expansion locus. (1/313)

Larger CAG/CTG trinucleotide-repeat tracts in individuals affected with schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) in comparison with control individuals have previously been reported, implying a possible etiological role for trinucleotide repeats in these diseases. Two unstable CAG/CTG repeats, SEF2-1B and ERDA1, have recently been cloned, and studies indicate that the majority of individuals with large repeats as detected by repeat-expansion detection (RED) have large repeat alleles at these loci. These repeats do not show association of large alleles with either BPAD or SCZ. Using RED, we have identified a BPAD individual with a very large CAG/CTG repeat that is not due to expansion at SEF2-1B or ERDA1. From this individual's DNA, we have cloned a highly polymorphic trinucleotide repeat consisting of (CTA)n (CTG)n, which is very long ( approximately 1,800 bp) in this patient. The repeat region localizes to chromosome 13q21, within 1.2 cM of fragile site FRA13C. Repeat alleles in our sample were unstable in 13 (5.6%) of 231 meioses. Large alleles (>100 repeats) were observed in 14 (1. 25%) of 1,120 patients with psychosis, borderline personality disorder, or juvenile-onset depression and in 5 (.7%) of 710 healthy controls. Very large alleles were also detected for Centre d'Etude Polymorphisme Humaine (CEPH) reference family 1334. This triplet expansion has recently been reported to be the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8); however, none of our large alleles above the disease threshold occurred in individuals either affected by SCA or with known family history of SCA. The high frequency of large alleles at this locus is inconsistent with the much rarer occurrence of SCA8. Thus, it seems unlikely that expansion alone causes SCA8; other genetic mechanisms may be necessary to explain SCA8 etiology.  (+info)

Attentional mechanisms of borderline personality disorder. (2/313)

We consider whether disruption of a specific neural circuit related to self-regulation is an underlying biological deficit in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Because patients with BPD exhibit a poor ability to regulate negative affect, we hypothesized that brain mechanisms thought to be involved in such self-regulation would function abnormally even in situations that seem remote from the symptoms exhibited by these patients. To test this idea, we compared the efficiency of attentional networks in BPD patients with controls who were matched to the patients in having very low self-reported effortful control and very high negative emotionality and controls who were average in these two temperamental dimensions. We found that the patients exhibited significantly greater difficulty in their ability to resolve conflict among stimulus dimensions in a purely cognitive task than did average controls but displayed no deficit in overall reaction time, errors, or other attentional networks. The temperamentally matched group did not differ significantly from either group. A significant correlation was found between measures of the ability to control conflict in the reaction-time task and self-reported effortful control.  (+info)

Fluvoxamine reduces responsiveness of HPA axis in adult female BPD patients with a history of sustained childhood abuse. (3/313)

The aim of the study is to test whether fluvoxamine affects the function of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis in female borderline (borderline personality disorder, BPD) patients with and without a history of sustained childhood abuse. Special attention is given to the presence of comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The HPA axis of 30 female BPD patients with (n = 17) and without (n = 13) a history of sustained childhood abuse was challenged with a combined dexamethasone and corticotropin releasing hormone test (DEX/CRH test) before and after 6 (n = 14) and 12 (n = 16) weeks of fluvoxamine treatment (150 mg/day). Both 6- and 12-week fluvoxamine treatments were associated with a significant and robust reduction of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol response to the DEX/CRH test. The magnitude of the reduction was dependent on the presence of sustained childhood abuse, but not on the presence of comorbid MDD or PTSD: patients with a history of sustained childhood abuse showed the strongest reduction in ACTH and cortisol. In conclusion, Fluvoxamine treatment reduces the hyperresponsiveness of the HPA axis in BPD patients with a history of sustained childhood abuse. This effect is likely to be obtained in the first 6 weeks of treatment.  (+info)

Dialectical behaviour therapy for women with borderline personality disorder: 12-month, randomised clinical trial in The Netherlands. (4/313)

BACKGROUND: Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is widely considered to be a promising treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, the evidence for its efficacy published thus far should be regarded as preliminary. AIMS: To compare the effectiveness of DBT with treatment as usual for patients with BPD and to examine the impact of baseline severity on effectiveness. METHOD: Fifty-eight women with BPD were randomly assigned to either 12 months of DBT or usual treatment in a randomised controlled study. Participants were recruited through clinical referrals from both addiction treatment and psychiatric services. Outcome measures included treatment retention and the course of suicidal, self-mutilating and self-damaging impulsive behaviours. RESULTS: Dialectical behaviour therapy resulted in better retention rates and greater reductions of self-mutilating and self-damaging impulsive behaviours compared with usual treatment, especially among those with a history of frequent self-mutilation. CONCLUSIONS: Dialectical behaviour therapy is superior to usual treatment in reducing high-risk behaviours in patients with BPD.  (+info)

'Still-face' interactions between mothers with borderline personality disorder and their 2-month-old infants. (5/313)

BACKGROUND: There is evidence that psychopathology in mothers may be associated with dysfunctional mother-infant interactions. AIMS: To investigate mother-infant relations when mothers have borderline personality disorder. METHOD: Eight mothers with borderline personality disorder and twelve mothers without psychiatric disorder were videotaped interacting with their 2-month-old infants in three successive phases of interaction: face-to-face play; an episode when the mother adopted a 'still face' and was unreactive; and a period when play interactions were resumed. The videotapes were rated by judges blind to the diagnostic group of the mother. RESULTS: The mothers with borderline personality disorder were more intrusively insensitive towards their infants. During the still-face period, their infants showed increased looking away and dazed looks. Following this, mother-infant interactions were less satisfying and their infants showed dazed looks and lowering of affect. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder is associated with a particular pattern of mother-infant interaction. The infants' responses to the still-face challenge might suggest dysfunctional self-regulation, but the developmental significance remains to be assessed.  (+info)

Dopamine dysfunction in borderline personality disorder: a hypothesis. (6/313)

Research on the biological basis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) has focused primarily on the serotonin model of impulsive aggression. However, there is evidence that dopamine (DA) dysfunction may also be associated with BPD. Pertinent research and review articles, identified by Medline searches of relevant topics, books, references from bibliographies, and conference proceedings from 1975 to 2003, were reviewed. Evidence of DA dysfunction in BPD derives from the efficacy of traditional and atypical antipsychotic agents in BPD, and from provocative challenges with amphetamine and methylphenidate of subjects with the disorder. In addition, human and animal studies indicate that DA activity plays an important role in emotion information processing, impulse control, and cognition. The results of this review suggest that DA dysfunction is associated with three dimensions of BPD, that is, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and cognitive-perceptual impairment. The main limitation of this hypothesis is that the evidence reviewed is circumstantial. There is no study that directly demonstrates DA dysfunction in BPD. In addition, the therapeutic effects of antipsychotic agents observed in BPD may be mediated by non-DA mechanisms of action. If the stated hypothesis is correct, DA dysfunction in BPD may result from genetic, developmental, or environmental factors directly affecting specific DA pathways. Alternatively, DA dysfunction in BPD may be a compensatory response to alterations in the primary neural systems that control emotion, impulse control, and cognition, and that are mediated by the brain's main neurotransmitters, glutamate, and GABA, or in one or more other neuromodulatory pathways such as serotonin, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine.  (+info)

Attachment studies with borderline patients: a review. (7/313)

Clinical theorists have suggested that disturbed attachments are central to borderline personality disorder (BPD) psychopathology. This article reviews 13 empirical studies that examine the types of attachment found in individuals with this disorder or with dimensional characteristics of BPD. Comparison among the 13 studies is handicapped by the variety of measures and attachment types that these studies have employed. Nevertheless, every study concludes that there is a strong association between BPD and insecure attachment. The types of attachment found to be most characteristic of BPD subjects are unresolved, preoccupied, and fearful. In each of these attachment types, individuals demonstrate a longing for intimacy and--at the same time--concern about dependency and rejection. The high prevalence and severity of insecure attachments found in these adult samples support the central role of disturbed interpersonal relationships in clinical theories of BPD. This review concludes that these types of insecure attachment may represent phenotypic markers of vulnerability to BPD, suggesting several directions for future research.  (+info)

Positron emission tomography of regional brain metabolic responses to a serotonergic challenge in major depressive disorder with and without borderline personality disorder. (8/313)

Previous neuroimaging studies of major depression have not controlled for the presence of personality disorders characterized by impulsive aggressive behavior, such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). Using positron emission tomography (PET), we studied regional glucose uptake in response to fenfluramine (FEN) in depressed subjects with BPD (n=11) and depressed patients without Cluster B Axis II disorders (n=8). Subjects were scanned while medication-free after a single blind placebo administration and after FEN on a second day. Brain responses were measured by PET imaging of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and serial prolactin levels. Scans were compared at a voxel level using statistical parametric mapping. Correlations of changes in relative regional cerebral uptake (rCMRglu) with clinical measures were assessed. Depressed borderline patients had greater relative activity in parietotemporal cortical regions (BA 40, BA 22, and BA 42) before and after FEN activation compared to those without BPD. They also had less relative uptake in the anterior cingulate cortex (BA 32) at baseline compared to depressed patients without BPD and FEN abolished this difference. Impulsivity was positively correlated with rCMRglu in superior and middle frontal cortex (BA 6 and 44). Hostility was positively correlated with rCMRglu in temporal cortical regions (BA 21 and 22). In conclusions, borderline pathology in the context of a Major Depressive Disorder is associated with altered activity in parietotemporal and anterior cingulate cortical regions. Controlling for the presence of BPD in future imaging studies of mood disorders may elucidate similarities and differences in regional serotonergic function in these two often comorbid disorders.  (+info)

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and mood. People with BPD often experience intense and unstable emotions, have difficulty regulating their emotions, and may engage in impulsive and self-destructive behaviors. BPD is typically diagnosed in adulthood, although some people may experience symptoms in childhood or adolescence. The disorder is often comorbid with other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Symptoms of BPD may include: - Intense and unstable emotions, including anger, sadness, and fear - Impulsive and self-destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse, reckless driving, or binge eating - Chronic feelings of emptiness or worthlessness - Difficulty maintaining stable relationships - Fear of abandonment or rejection - Unstable self-image and identity - Chronic feelings of boredom or restlessness - Suicidal thoughts or attempts Treatment for BPD typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and support from loved ones. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help people with BPD learn coping skills and improve their relationships with others. Medications, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers, may also be used to manage symptoms.

Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by inflexible and maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate significantly from the expectations of the individual's culture and cause distress or impairment in personal, social, and occupational functioning. There are ten recognized personality disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is the standard classification system used by mental health professionals in the United States: 1. Antisocial Personality Disorder 2. Borderline Personality Disorder 3. Histrionic Personality Disorder 4. Narcissistic Personality Disorder 5. Avoidant Personality Disorder 6. Dependent Personality Disorder 7. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder 8. Paranoid Personality Disorder 9. Schizoid Personality Disorder 10. Schizotypal Personality Disorder Personality disorders are typically diagnosed in adulthood, although some individuals may exhibit symptoms in childhood or adolescence. Treatment for personality disorders can be challenging, as individuals with these conditions may have difficulty recognizing and changing their maladaptive behaviors and patterns of thinking. However, therapy, medication, and other forms of support can be effective in helping individuals with personality disorders manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder (SPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a cluster of traits that are similar to those seen in people with schizophrenia. People with SPD may have difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, have unusual beliefs or magical thinking, and may have a sense of being detached from reality. They may also have eccentric or odd behavior, and may have difficulty with social norms and rules. SPD is typically diagnosed in adulthood, and is considered a chronic condition that can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. Treatment for SPD may include therapy, medication, and support groups.

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others, lacks empathy, and is often manipulative or deceitful. People with ASPD tend to have a disregard for the law, engage in impulsive and reckless behavior, and have difficulty maintaining stable relationships. They may also have a history of substance abuse, criminal behavior, and financial problems. ASPD is considered a personality disorder because it is a long-term pattern of behavior that begins in childhood or adolescence and persists throughout adulthood. It is not caused by a specific event or trauma, but rather by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Diagnosis of ASPD typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a mental health professional, including a clinical interview and psychological testing. Treatment for ASPD may include therapy, medication, and support groups, but it can be challenging due to the resistance to treatment and the persistence of the disorder.

Paranoid Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive and unjustified suspicion or mistrust of others. People with this disorder often believe that others are out to harm them, cheat them, or take advantage of them. They may be overly suspicious of their friends, family members, coworkers, or even strangers. Individuals with Paranoid Personality Disorder may also be overly sensitive to criticism or rejection, and may interpret neutral or even positive actions as hostile or threatening. They may have a tendency to blame others for their problems and may have difficulty forming close relationships due to their mistrust of others. Paranoid Personality Disorder is typically diagnosed in adulthood and is considered a chronic condition that can persist throughout a person's life. It is not caused by a single event or factor, but rather by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment for Paranoid Personality Disorder typically involves psychotherapy and medication to manage any associated symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of by others. People with DPD often have difficulty making decisions, have low self-esteem, and may feel helpless or overwhelmed in the absence of a caregiver. They may also have difficulty initiating or maintaining relationships, and may cling to relationships that are emotionally or physically abusive. DPD is classified as a Cluster C personality disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is the standard classification system used by mental health professionals in the United States. It is important to note that DPD is a complex and multifaceted disorder, and treatment typically involves a combination of therapy and medication.

Compulsive Personality Disorder (CPD) is a mental health condition characterized by an excessive preoccupation with order, control, and perfectionism. People with CPD often have difficulty relaxing and letting go, and they may feel driven to control every aspect of their lives, including their relationships, work, and personal affairs. Individuals with CPD may exhibit a range of symptoms, including: 1. Perfectionism: They have an unrealistic standard for themselves and others, and they may become frustrated or angry when things do not go according to plan. 2. Rigidity: They have difficulty changing their plans or routines, even when circumstances require it. 3. Obsessiveness: They may become fixated on certain tasks or projects, and they may spend excessive amounts of time and energy on them. 4. Intolerance of uncertainty: They may become anxious or agitated when faced with ambiguity or unpredictability. 5. Difficulty with interpersonal relationships: They may have difficulty forming close relationships, as they may feel uncomfortable with intimacy or vulnerability. CPD is typically diagnosed in adulthood, and it is estimated to affect about 1-2% of the general population. Treatment for CPD may include psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication to manage symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Passive-aggressive personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pattern of behavior in which an individual expresses their anger, frustration, or annoyance indirectly and subconsciously. People with this disorder may appear to be compliant or agreeable on the surface, but they may engage in behaviors that undermine or sabotage the efforts of others, or they may engage in passive resistance or procrastination. Some common symptoms of passive-aggressive personality disorder include: - Refusing to comply with requests or instructions, even when it is in their best interest to do so - Making sarcastic or critical comments - Being slow to complete tasks or procrastinating - Blaming others for their own mistakes or failures - Being easily annoyed or frustrated, and taking out their anger on others - Being overly sensitive or easily offended - Having a tendency to hold grudges or resentments Passive-aggressive personality disorder is typically diagnosed by a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, based on a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's symptoms, behavior, and medical history. Treatment for this disorder may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Dissociative disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by disruptions or disturbances in an individual's memory, identity, or perception of reality. These disorders can cause a person to feel detached from their surroundings, experience memory gaps or blackouts, and have difficulty forming a sense of self. The most common dissociative disorders include: 1. Dissociative Amnesia: A condition characterized by the inability to recall important personal information, often triggered by a traumatic event. 2. Dissociative Fugue: A sudden and unexpected loss of memory of one's identity, including personal information and one's location, often triggered by a traumatic event. 3. Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): A condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personalities or identities, each with its own memories, thoughts, and behaviors. 4. Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder: A condition characterized by a persistent or recurrent feeling of detachment from one's body or the world around them, or a distorted sense of reality. Dissociative disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, stress, and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Treatment for dissociative disorders typically involves a combination of therapy and medication, and may involve working with a mental health professional who specializes in treating these conditions.

Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are a group of mental health conditions characterized by a lack of ability to control impulsive behaviors that can lead to negative consequences for the individual or others. These disorders can include kleptomania (the urge to steal), pyromania (the urge to set fires), intermittent explosive disorder (the tendency to have sudden and uncontrollable outbursts of anger), and compulsive gambling, among others. Individuals with ICDs may experience intense urges or cravings that they are unable to resist, leading them to engage in behaviors that they know are harmful or inappropriate. These behaviors can range from minor offenses, such as stealing small items, to more serious actions, such as setting fires or engaging in risky sexual behavior. ICDs are often comorbid with other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Treatment for ICDs typically involves a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, such as stress management techniques and avoiding triggers that may lead to impulsive behavior.

Mood disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by significant disturbances in mood, emotions, and behavior. These disorders are typically classified into two main categories: depressive disorders and bipolar disorders. Depressive disorders include major depressive disorder (MDD), persistent depressive disorder (PDD), and dysthymia. These disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Symptoms may also include changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Bipolar disorders, on the other hand, are characterized by extreme mood swings that alternate between periods of mania or hypomania (elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, and decreased need for sleep) and periods of depression. The most common bipolar disorder is bipolar I disorder, which is characterized by at least one manic episode, while bipolar II disorder is characterized by at least one hypomanic episode and one major depressive episode. Other mood disorders include seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is a type of depression that occurs during the winter months, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that affects mood and behavior. Mood disorders can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, relationships, and ability to function in daily activities. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes.

Schizoid Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotional expression. People with this disorder tend to have a preference for solitary activities and may appear emotionless or indifferent to others. They may also have difficulty forming close relationships and may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed in social situations. Other common features of Schizoid Personality Disorder include a lack of interest in social activities, a preference for solitary activities, a lack of close friends or confidants, and a limited range of emotional expression. This disorder is typically diagnosed in adulthood and is considered to be a chronic condition that can persist throughout a person's life. It is important to note that Schizoid Personality Disorder is not the same as Schizophrenia, which is a serious mental illness characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include episodes of mania or hypomania (abnormally elevated or irritable mood) and depression. These mood swings can be severe and can significantly impact a person's daily life, relationships, and ability to function. Bipolar disorder is typically diagnosed based on a person's symptoms, medical history, and a physical examination. There are several different types of bipolar disorder, including bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and other specified bipolar and related disorders. Treatment for bipolar disorder typically involves a combination of medication and therapy. Medications used to treat bipolar disorder may include mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants. Therapy may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, and family-focused therapy. It is important to note that bipolar disorder is a serious medical condition that requires ongoing treatment and management. With proper treatment, many people with bipolar disorder are able to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.

In the medical field, mental disorders are conditions that affect a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, causing significant distress or impairment in daily functioning. Mental disorders are diagnosed based on a set of criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is published by the American Psychiatric Association. The DSM-5 categorizes mental disorders into several broad categories, including: 1. Anxiety disorders: conditions characterized by excessive fear or worry, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. 2. Mood disorders: conditions characterized by significant changes in mood, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and dysthymia. 3. Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders: conditions characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and abnormal behavior, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and delusional disorder. 4. Neurodevelopmental disorders: conditions that begin in childhood and affect cognitive and social development, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). 5. Personality disorders: conditions characterized by enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that deviate from societal norms and cause significant distress or impairment, such as borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. 6. Substance-related and addictive disorders: conditions characterized by the use of substances or behaviors that cause significant impairment in daily functioning, such as alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and gambling disorder. 7. Eating disorders: conditions characterized by abnormal eating behaviors that cause significant distress or impairment, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Mental disorders can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, and they can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. Treatment for mental disorders typically involves a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Depressive Disorder, Major, also known as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and severe feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. People with MDD may also experience changes in appetite and sleep patterns, feelings of fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide. MDD is a common disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It can occur at any age and can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. MDD can have a significant impact on a person's daily life, including their ability to work, socialize, and take care of themselves. Treatment for MDD typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It is important for people with MDD to seek professional help as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment and support.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, military combat, sexual assault, or physical violence. PTSD is characterized by a cluster of symptoms that can include intrusive thoughts or memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the event, negative changes in mood or cognition, and increased arousal or reactivity. These symptoms can significantly impair a person's daily functioning and quality of life. PTSD is typically diagnosed by a mental health professional using a standardized set of criteria, and treatment may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. People with HPD often feel the need to be the center of attention and may engage in dramatic or exaggerated behaviors to achieve this. They may also have difficulty regulating their emotions and may experience intense mood swings, impulsivity, and a fear of rejection or abandonment. HPD is classified as a Cluster B personality disorder, which also includes Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. These disorders are characterized by dramatic, emotional, and erratic behavior, as well as difficulty with interpersonal relationships. HPD is typically diagnosed in adulthood, although some people may exhibit symptoms in childhood or adolescence. Treatment for HPD typically involves psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy, to help individuals learn to regulate their emotions and improve their interpersonal relationships. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

Substance-related disorders are a group of mental health conditions that are caused by the use of drugs or alcohol. These disorders can range from mild to severe and can have a significant impact on a person's life. Substance-related disorders are diagnosed when a person's use of drugs or alcohol causes problems in their daily life, such as problems at work or school, problems with relationships, or legal problems. Substance-related disorders can also lead to physical health problems, such as liver damage or heart disease. Treatment for substance-related disorders typically involves a combination of behavioral therapy and medication.

Self-mutilation, also known as self-harm or self-injury, is a behavior in which a person intentionally damages their own body tissue, often as a way to cope with emotional pain or distress. This can take many forms, including cutting, burning, scratching, hitting, or bruising oneself. Self-mutilation is often associated with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder, and can be a sign of underlying emotional distress or a coping mechanism for dealing with difficult emotions. Treatment for self-mutilation typically involves addressing the underlying emotional issues through therapy and may also involve medication to manage any associated mental health conditions.

Anxiety and separation are two related concepts that can have significant impacts on a person's mental health and well-being. Anxiety is a feeling of unease, worry, or fear that can be mild or severe. It is a normal human emotion, but when it becomes excessive or persistent, it can interfere with daily life and lead to a range of physical and mental health problems. Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent anxiety and fear. Separation anxiety is a type of anxiety that occurs when a person experiences distress or anxiety when separated from a loved one or familiar environment. It is a common experience in children, but it can also occur in adults, particularly those who have experienced trauma or have a history of attachment difficulties. In the medical field, anxiety and separation can be diagnosed and treated through a variety of methods, including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Treatment is typically tailored to the individual's specific needs and may involve a combination of approaches. It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing excessive or persistent anxiety or separation anxiety.

Neurotic disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive anxiety, worry, and emotional distress. These disorders are often referred to as anxiety disorders and include conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Individuals with neurotic disorders may experience a range of symptoms, including excessive fear or worry, physical symptoms such as sweating or trembling, avoidance of certain situations or activities, and difficulty concentrating or sleeping. These symptoms can significantly impact an individual's daily life and ability to function normally. Treatment for neurotic disorders typically involves a combination of therapy and medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common form of therapy used to treat these disorders, as it helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their anxiety and distress. Medications such as antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs may also be prescribed to help manage symptoms.

Depressive disorder, also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. People with depressive disorder may also experience changes in appetite, sleep patterns, energy levels, and cognitive function. Depressive disorder can be a chronic condition that affects a person's ability to function in daily life, and it can also increase the risk of developing other mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorders and substance abuse disorders. Treatment for depressive disorder typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy, and it is important for individuals with depressive disorder to seek professional help as soon as possible to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

In the medical field, "Diseases in Twins" refers to the occurrence of health conditions or illnesses in individuals who are identical or fraternal twins. Twins have a higher risk of developing certain diseases or health conditions compared to individuals who are not twins. This increased risk can be due to genetic factors, shared environmental factors, or a combination of both. For example, identical twins have a higher risk of developing certain genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, compared to non-twins. Fraternal twins, who are not genetically identical, also have a higher risk of developing certain health conditions, such as type 1 diabetes or schizophrenia, compared to non-twins. The study of diseases in twins is an important area of research in the medical field, as it can help identify genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of certain diseases. This information can then be used to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies for these diseases.

Eating disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by abnormal eating habits that significantly interfere with a person's physical health and well-being. Eating disorders can range from mild to severe and can affect people of all ages, genders, and body types. The three most common eating disorders are: 1. Anorexia nervosa: A severe and potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by a fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even when underweight. People with anorexia often restrict their food intake, exercise excessively, and may use laxatives or other methods to lose weight. 2. Bulimia nervosa: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as vomiting or using laxatives, to compensate for the overeating. People with bulimia may also engage in other compensatory behaviors, such as excessive exercise or fasting. 3. Binge eating disorder: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, which are marked by a lack of control over eating and a feeling of a loss of control during the binge. People with binge eating disorder may also feel a sense of shame or guilt after a binge episode. Other eating disorders include avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, pica, and rumination disorder. Eating disorders can have serious physical and mental health consequences, including malnutrition, organ damage, depression, anxiety, and even death. Treatment for eating disorders typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medical care, and nutritional counseling.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of worry, fear, and unease. These disorders can interfere with a person's daily life, relationships, and ability to function normally. Anxiety disorders can be classified into several categories, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Treatment for anxiety disorders typically involves a combination of medication and therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic and often relapsing brain disorder characterized by the excessive and compulsive consumption of alcohol despite negative consequences to one's health, relationships, and daily life. In the medical field, alcoholism is diagnosed based on a set of criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). These criteria include: 1. The presence of tolerance, which is the need to consume more alcohol to achieve the same desired effect. 2. The presence of withdrawal symptoms when alcohol use is reduced or stopped. 3. The presence of cravings or a strong desire to drink. 4. The continuation of alcohol use despite negative consequences, such as health problems, relationship problems, or legal problems. 5. The presence of significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning due to alcohol use. Alcoholism is a complex disorder that can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment for alcoholism typically involves a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and support groups.
