Suicide risk in schizophrenia: an analysis of 17 consecutive suicides. (1/97)
The aim of this study was to investigate interactional factors related to the recognition of suicide risk in patients with schizophrenia. The study focused on 17 schizophrenia patients who had committed suicide during the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland between April 1, 1987, and March 31, 1988, in the province of Kuopio. Consensus case reports were assembled by using the psychological autopsy method. Study methods included structured and in-depth interviews of next of kin and interviews of health care or social services workers who had treated the suicide victims. Male and female patients with schizophrenia committed suicide in equal proportions. Most had suffered from schizophrenia for more than 15 years; all but one had been receiving psychiatric treatment at the time of suicide. Retrospective assessment indicated that 59 percent of the patients were clinically depressed at the time of suicide. In 76 percent of the cases, the mental health professionals involved in treatment had not believed that there was a risk of suicide during their last contact with the patient. In 29 percent of the cases, the patient's paranoid ideas concerning treatment personnel had increased. Patients' withdrawal from human relationships because of depression was related to loss of the treatment professionals' concern for the patients. The findings in this descriptive study suggest that withdrawal by a patient with schizophrenia and an increase in the patient's paranoid behavior should be regarded as signals of risk of suicide. (+info)Screening for hypothyroidism in elderly inpatients. (2/97)
Routine biochemical screening for hypothyroidism in 2000 geriatric inpatients proved valuable and practicable and yielded 46 cases (2.3%). A non-specific clinical picture was particularly common, with less than a third of the cases showing "typical" signs and symptoms. Psychiatric manifestations, especially depression, were important and frequent and responded well to thyroxine. There was a preponderance of female cases of hypothyroidism and a strong association with other autoimmune diseases, notably pernicious anaemia and rheumatoid arthritis. (+info)Hypocalcaemic myopathy with paranoid psychosis. (3/97)
A description is given of a patient with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and a paranoid psychosis. Changes in muscle, electromyograms, and blood enzyme levels were related to hypocalcaemia. Reference is made to the elevations of these enzyme levels found in other cases of psychosis. (+info)Delusional parasitosis as 'folie a deux'. (4/97)
Delusional parasitosis is characterized by the unshakeable belief of being infested with tiny (microscopic) insects. Patients spend much time trying to get rid of the bugs and suffer from these symptoms. Patients prefer to go to dermatologists because they have a strong conviction over the presence of a somatic disease and do not accept any psychiatric advice for their complaints. Folie a deux or shared psychotic disorder (SPD) is a relatively rare syndrome, which has long attracted clinical attention. Delusional parasitosis is associated in 5-15% of SPD and can run within a family. We experienced delusional parasitosis as Folie a Deux between a mother and her son and successfully treated them through early psychiatric intervention. We believe that attention should be drawn to DP with SPD. (+info)Neuroleptic sensitivity in patients with senile dementia of Lewy body type. (5/97)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the outcome of administration of neuroleptics to patients with senile dementia of Lewy body type confirmed at necropsy. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of clinical notes blind to neuropathological diagnosis. SETTING: Specialist psychogeriatric assessment units referring cases for necropsy to a teaching hospital neuropathology service. PATIENTS: 41 elderly patients with diagnosis of either Alzheimer type dementia (n = 21) or Lewy body type dementia (n = 20) confirmed at necropsy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical state including extrapyramidal features before and after neuroleptic treatment and survival analysis of patients showing severe neuroleptic sensitivity compared with the remainder in the group. RESULTS: 16 (80%) patients with Lewy body type dementia received neuroleptics, 13 (81%) of whom reacted adversely; in seven (54%) the reactions were severe. Survival analysis showed an increased mortality in the year after presentation to psychiatric services compared with patients with mild or no neuroleptic sensitivity (hazard ratio 2.70 (95% confidence interval 2.50-8.99); (chi 2 = 2.68, p = 0.05). By contrast, only one (7%) of 14 patients with Alzheimer type dementia given neuroleptics showed severe neuroleptic sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS: Severe, and often fatal, neuroleptic sensitivity may occur in elderly patients with confusion, dementia, or behavioural disturbance. Its occurrence may indicate senile dementia of Lewy body type and this feature has been included in clinical diagnostic criteria for this type of dementia. (+info)EFFECT OF CHLORPROTHIXENE IN PATIENTS WITH PARANOID SYMPTOMS. (6/97)
Chlorprothixene, a thioxanthine derivative, claimed to have broad-spectrum antipsychotic properties, was compared with phenothiazine derivatives in the setting of a psychiatric admission service and aftercare clinic.In 32 female patients with paranoid symptoms, chlorprothixene in high dosage ranges (200 to 1200 mg. daily) was found to be as effective as similar doses of chlorpromazine in controlling the symptoms; fewer side effects were noted. (+info)PREFRONTAL LEUKOTOMY: A FIVE-YEAR CONTROLLED STUDY. (7/97)
One hundred and eighty-three patients who had received prefrontal leukotomy over a period of several years were compared with a closely similar group who had not undergone the operation. No significant differences in rate of hospital discharge after a five-year follow-up period were found between the two groups. The groups showed no consistent difference in outcome in relation to diagnosis, chronicity vs. intermittency of illness, heredity, education, family attitude, premorbid adjustment, or degree of insight on the part of the patients. It is concluded that prefrontal leukotomy does not produce any rate of remission significantly beyond that to be expected without the operation. (+info)TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY: A CLINICAL STUDY OF 47 CASES. (8/97)
Clinical features of 47 cases of temporal lobe epilepsy are analyzed and treatment of this disorder is outlined. Twenty-four per cent of all cases of epilepsy seen by one of the authors over a two-year period were of this type. Fifteen of these 47 patients had a history of birth injury. Care must be taken to distinguish the symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy from those of acute anxiety or hysteria and to differentiate the short-lived temporal lobe attack from centrencephalic petit mal.Interictal personality disturbances were identified in 11 of 24 persons with temporal lobe epilepsy, four of 35 with focal epilepsy from all other areas, and one of 17 with centrencephalic epilepsy. Personality deviations most frequently encountered were irritability, aggressiveness, bouts of depression, paranoid tendencies and exhibitionism. Medical or surgical treatment often improves the personality abnormalities concomitantly with control of seizures. (+info)Paranoid disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by the presence of paranoia, which is defined as a persistent and unfounded distrust or suspicion of others. This can include beliefs that others are trying to harm you, deceive you, or are plotting against you. These beliefs are not based in reality and are firmly held despite evidence to the contrary.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental conditions, includes two paranoid disorders: Delusional Disorder and Paranoid Personality Disorder.
Delusional disorder is characterized by the presence of one or more delusions for a month or longer, with no significant hallucinations, disorganized speech, or grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. The individual's functioning is not markedly impaired and behavior is not obviously odd or bizarre.
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent, beginning in early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. The individual may appear cold and aloof or may be explosively angry if they feel threatened.
It's important to note that these disorders can cause significant distress and impairment in social, occupational, and other areas of functioning. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a paranoid disorder, it's important to seek help from a qualified mental health professional.
'Shared Paranoid Disorder' is also known as 'Induced Paranoid Disorder' or 'Folie à deux.' It is not listed as a separate disorder in the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) used by mental health professionals for diagnosis. However, it can be classified under Other Specified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders.
It is described as a delusional disorder that develops in an individual due to a close and influential relationship with another person who has an established delusional disorder. The secondary person's delusion is similar to or derived from the primary person's delusion, and they usually share a common living situation or have a very close emotional bond.
The delusions are not due to any other medical condition, substance use, or better explained by another mental disorder. Also, when the relationship between the two individuals ends, the secondary person's delusional symptoms usually decrease or disappear.
Paranoid Schizophrenia is a subtype of Schizophrenia, which is a chronic and severe mental disorder. It is characterized by the presence of prominent delusions and auditory hallucinations. The delusions in paranoid schizophrenia often involve themes of persecution or grandiosity. Individuals with this subtype usually have a clear sense of self and maintain relatively well-preserved cognitive functions and affect. However, their symptoms can significantly impact their ability to function in daily life, social relationships, and vocational activities. It's important to note that schizophrenia is a complex disorder, and its diagnosis should be made by a qualified mental health professional based on a comprehensive evaluation of the individual's symptoms, history, and mental status examination.
Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of distrust and suspicion, such that others' intentions are interpreted as malevolent. This disorder is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental conditions.
To be diagnosed with PPD, an individual must display at least four of the following symptoms:
1. Suspects, without sufficient reason, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving them.
2. Is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of friends or associates.
3. Is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against them.
4. Reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events.
5. Persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights.
6. Perceives attacks on their character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack.
7. Has recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding fidelity of spouse or sexual partner.
These symptoms must be present for a significant period, typically at least one year, and must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Additionally, the symptoms cannot be better explained by another mental disorder, such as Schizophrenia, a Mood Disorder with Psychotic Features, or Substance/Medication-Induced Psychotic Disorder.
A delusion is a fixed, false belief that is firmly held despite evidence to the contrary and is not shared by others who hold similar cultural or religious beliefs. Delusions are a key symptom of certain psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and delusional disorder. They can also be seen in other medical conditions, such as dementia, brain injury, or substance abuse.
Delusions can take many forms, but some common types include:
* Persecutory delusions: the belief that one is being targeted or harmed by others
* Grandiose delusions: the belief that one has special powers, talents, or importance
* Erotomanic delusions: the belief that someone, often of higher social status, is in love with the individual
* Somatic delusions: the belief that one's body is abnormal or has been altered in some way
* Religious or spiritual delusions: the belief that one has a special relationship with a deity or religious figure
Delusions should not be confused with overvalued ideas, which are strongly held beliefs based on subjective interpretation of experiences or evidence. Overvalued ideas may be shared by others and can sometimes develop into delusions if they become fixed and firmly held despite contradictory evidence.
Paranoid behavior is not a medical diagnosis itself, but it can be a symptom of various mental health conditions. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), paranoia is characterized by irrational and excessive mistrust or suspicion of others, often leading to feelings of persecution, grandiosity, jealousy, or hostility. Paranoid behavior may include:
1. Persistent suspiciousness and unjustified belief that others are trying to harm or deceive you.
2. Reading hidden meanings into benign remarks or events, often with a negative connotation.
3. Expecting betrayal or deceit from others, even when there is no reason to do so.
4. Difficulty confiding in or becoming close to others due to fear of being exploited or harmed.
5. Harbouring grudges and being unforgiving towards those perceived as having wronged you.
6. Persistently feeling that you are being mistreated, misunderstood, or taken advantage of.
7. Perceiving attacks on your character or reputation that are not apparent to others.
8. Holding unrealistic beliefs about the loyalty and trustworthiness of others.
9. Being quick to anger or react defensively when feeling criticized or threatened.
Paranoid behavior can be a symptom of various mental health conditions, such as paranoid personality disorder, schizophrenia, delusional disorder, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder with psychotic features. It is essential to consult a mental health professional for an accurate assessment and appropriate treatment if you or someone else experiences these symptoms.
Disorganized Schizophrenia is a subtype of Schizophrenia, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DS-5) published by the American Psychiatric Association. It is characterized by disorganized speech, behavior, and/or flat or inappropriate emotional expression.
The individual with Disorganized Schizophrenia may have difficulty organizing their thoughts and conveying them coherently, leading to speech that is rambling, fragmented, or irrelevant. Their behavior can be disorganized or bizarre, and they may have trouble with routine activities like grooming and hygiene. Emotional expression may be inappropriate to the situation, such as laughing at a sad event, or it may be flattened, with minimal emotional response.
It's important to note that only a qualified mental health professional can make a diagnosis of Disorganized Schizophrenia or any other mental health disorder. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia or any other mental health concern, it's important to seek professional help.
Catatonic Schizophrenia is a subtype of Schizophrenia characterized by severe psychomotor disturbances such as stupor (reduced reaction to stimuli), mutism (inability to speak), negativism (resistance to instructions or movements), posturing (assuming and maintaining unusual poses), rigidity, agitation, or excitation. These symptoms can lead to significant impairment in daily functioning and quality of life. It is important to note that this subtype is less commonly used in current psychiatric classification systems, as the focus has shifted towards a more comprehensive description of symptom dimensions that cut across traditional diagnostic categories.
I must clarify that there is no such thing as "Schizophrenic Psychology." The term schizophrenia is used to describe a specific and serious mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It's important not to use the term casually or inaccurately, as it can perpetuate stigma and misunderstanding about the condition.
Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren't there), delusions (false beliefs that are not based on reality), disorganized speech, and grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. These symptoms can impair a person's ability to function in daily life, maintain relationships, and experience emotions appropriately.
If you have any questions related to mental health conditions or psychology, I would be happy to provide accurate information and definitions.
A hallucination is a perception in the absence of external stimuli. They are sensory experiences that feel real, but are generated from inside the mind rather than by external reality. Hallucinations can occur in any of the senses, causing individuals to hear sounds, see visions, or smell odors that aren't actually present. They can range from relatively simple experiences, such as seeing flashes of light, to complex experiences like seeing and interacting with people or objects that aren't there. Hallucinations are often associated with certain medical conditions, mental health disorders, or the use of certain substances.
Psychoanalytic theory is a psychological framework developed primarily by Sigmund Freud and his followers, which seeks to explain psychic phenomena in terms of unconscious mental processes and early childhood experiences. It posits that the human mind is composed of three elements: the id (primitive instincts), ego (rational thought), and superego (moral standards). The theory emphasizes the importance of resolving unconscious conflicts, making the unconscious conscious, and analyzing defense mechanisms in order to alleviate psychological distress and promote mental health. It also includes various concepts such as the Oedipus complex, psychosexual development stages, and transference/countertransference phenomena.
In the context of psychology and psychiatry, "projection" is a psychological defense mechanism where individuals attribute their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses to others. Instead of acknowledging and dealing with their own emotions or behaviors, they externalize them by perceiving them in someone else. This can help reduce anxiety or discomfort associated with those thoughts or feelings, but it can also lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and negative judgments about others.
It is important to note that "projection" has no widely accepted medical definition within the field of medicine outside of mental health contexts.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (a less severe form of mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy, or unusually irritable. These mood swings can significantly affect your job, school, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Bipolar disorder is typically characterized by the presence of one or more manic or hypomanic episodes, often accompanied by depressive episodes. The episodes may be separated by periods of normal mood, but in some cases, a person may experience rapid cycling between mania and depression.
There are several types of bipolar disorder, including:
* Bipolar I Disorder: This type is characterized by the occurrence of at least one manic episode, which may be preceded or followed by hypomanic or major depressive episodes.
* Bipolar II Disorder: This type involves the presence of at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode, but no manic episodes.
* Cyclothymic Disorder: This type is characterized by numerous periods of hypomania and depression that are not severe enough to meet the criteria for a full manic or depressive episode.
* Other Specified and Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorders: These categories include bipolar disorders that do not fit the criteria for any of the other types.
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but it appears to be related to a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and prevent relapses.
Substance-induced psychosis is a type of psychosis that is caused by the use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) defines substance/medication-induced psychotic disorder as follows:
A. Presence of one (or more) of the following symptoms:
1. Delusions.
2. Hallucinations.
3. Disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence).
B. There is evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a combination of substances.
C. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium and is not better explained by a psychotic disorder that is not substance/medication-induced. The symptoms in Criterion A developed during or soon after substance intoxication or withdrawal, or after exposure to a medication.
D. The disturbance causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
E. The disturbance is not better accounted for by another mental disorder (e.g., major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder).
It's important to note that the diagnosis of substance-induced psychosis requires a thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation to determine if the symptoms are caused by substance use or another underlying mental health condition.
Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological strategies that individuals use to cope with stressful, threatening, or uncomfortable situations. These mechanisms help protect the ego from being overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, or other negative emotions. They can also help individuals maintain a positive self-image and a sense of control in difficult circumstances.
There are many different types of defense mechanisms, including:
1. Repression: The unconscious forgetting or pushing aside of painful memories or thoughts.
2. Denial: Refusing to acknowledge the existence or reality of a threatening situation or feeling.
3. Projection: Attributing one's own unacceptable thoughts or emotions to someone else.
4. Displacement: Channeling unacceptable feelings toward a safer or less threatening target.
5. Rationalization: Creating logical explanations or excuses for unacceptable behavior or feelings.
6. Reaction formation: Converting unconscious impulses or desires into their opposite, conscious attitudes or behaviors.
7. Sublimation: Transforming unacceptable impulses or instincts into socially acceptable behaviors or activities.
8. Regression: Returning to an earlier stage of development in order to cope with stress or anxiety.
9. Suppression: Consciously pushing aside unwanted thoughts or feelings.
10. Identification: Adopting the characteristics, attitudes, or behaviors of another person as a way of coping with anxiety or fear.
Defense mechanisms can be adaptive or maladaptive, depending on the situation and how they are used. While they can help individuals cope with stress and maintain their emotional well-being in the short term, relying too heavily on defense mechanisms can lead to problems in relationships, work, and other areas of life. It is important for individuals to be aware of their defense mechanisms and work to develop healthier coping strategies over time.
