Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive and abnormal anxiety that interferes with daily functioning. Symptoms can include physical features like increased heart rate and sweating, behavioral avoidance, and worrying or irrational thoughts. The main types of anxiety disorders are panic disorder, phobic disorders like social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety disorder.

- Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common type worldwide, characterized by stable delusions like paranoia, often accompanied by auditory hallucinations and perceptual disturbances. Symptoms like disturbed affect, volition, speech and catatonia are not prominent.
- Common delusions include persecution, reference, exalted birth, special mission, bodily change or jealousy. Auditory hallucinations may threaten the patient or command them, or be non-verbal noises. Other rare hallucinations can involve smell, taste, or bodily sensations. Visual hallucinations can also occur but are not predominant.
This document discusses schizophrenia, describing its 5 main types (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual), their symptoms, possible causes, treatments, and the experiences of famous mathematician John Nash who had paranoid schizophrenia. It occurs in 1% of the population equally in men and women, though women's symptoms manifest later. Genetics may play a role, as relatives of those with schizophrenia are also at higher risk. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications which can control symptoms but also cause side effects.
Schizophrenia is characterized by changes in behavior and thought patterns. Symptoms are classified as positive, representing changes like hallucinations or delusions, or negative, representing withdrawal or lack of normal function. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, often of voices, as well as inappropriate behavior and thoughts of control. Negative symptoms appear earlier and involve loss of interest, motivation, and social interaction. Both types of symptoms can impact relationships.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7 anxiety disorders and ocd
1.
2.
3. ANXIETY DISORDER
• Useful because it prompts us to seek regular medical
checkups or motivates us to study for tests.
• It is a normal response to threats, but anxiety becomes
abnormal when it is out of proportion to the reality of a
threat, or when it seems to simply come out of the blue---
that is, when it is not in respose to life events.
4. SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
•PHYSICAL FEATURES: jumpiness,
jitteriness, or shaking, tightness in the pit of the
stomach or chest, heavy perspiration, sweaty palms,
lightheadedness or faintness, dryness in the mouth
or throat, shortness of breath, heart pounding or
racing, cold fingers or limbs, and upset stomach or
nausea, among other physical symptoms.
5. SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
•BEHAVIORAL FEATURES: avoidance
behavior, clinging or dependent behavior, and
agitated behavior.
6. SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
•COGNITIVE FEATURES: may include
worry, a nagging sense of dread or apprehension
about the future, preoccupation with or keen
awareness of bodily sensations, fear of losing
control, thinking the same disturbing thoughts
over and over, jumbled or confused thoughts,
difficulty concentrating or focusing one’s thoughts,
and thinking that things are getting out of hand.
7. MAJOR TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
•PANIC DISORDER
•PHOBIC DISORDERS
•GENERALIZED ANXIETY
DISORDERS
9. PANIC DISORDER
• Characterized by repeated, unexpected PANIC ATTACKS.
• PANIC ATTACKS are intense anxiety reactions that are
accompanied by physical symptoms such as a pounding
heart; rapid respiration, shortness of breath, or difficulty
breathing; heavy perspiration; and weakness or dizziness.
• These are accompanied by feelings of sheer terror and a
sense of imminent danger or impending doom and by an
urge to escape the situation.
• Usually accompanied by thoughts of losing control, “going
crazy,” or dying.
10. KEY FEATURES OF PANIC ATTACKS
PANIC ATTACKS ARE EPISODES OF INTENSE FEAR OR DISCOMFORT THAT
DEVELOP SUDDENLY AND REACH A PEAK WITHIN A FEW MINUTES.
• Pounding heart, tachycardia (rapid
heart rate), or palpitations
• Sweating, trembling, or shaking
• Experience of choking or smothering
sensations or shortness of breath
• Fears of either losing control and
dying or going crazy
• Pain or discomfort in the chest
• Tingling or numbing sensations
• Nausea or stomach distress
• Dizziness, light-headedness,
faintness, or unsteadiness
• Feelings of being detached from
oneself, as if observing oneself from
a distance, or sense of unreality or
strangeness about one’s
surroundings
• Fear of losing control or going crazy
• Hot flashes or chills
13. PHOBIC DISORDERS
• from the Greek phobos, meaning “fear.”
• Fear is anxiety experienced in response to a particular
threat.
• A phobia is a fear of an object or situation that is
disproportionate to the threat it poses.
14. PHOBIC DISORDERS
• the fear exceeds any reasonable appraisal of danger.
• people with phobic disorders recognize their fears are
excessive or unreasonable.
• usually involve fears of the ordinary events in life, such as
taking an elevator or driving on a highway, not the
extraordinary.
18. TYPES OF SPECIFIC PHOBIAS
• Fear of animals, such as fear of spiders, insects, and
dogs
• Fear of natural environments, such as fear of heights
(acrophobia), storms, or water
• Fear of blood-injection injury, such as fear of needles or
invasive medical procedures
• Fear of specific situations, such as fear of enclosed
spaces (claustrophobia), elevators, or airplanes
19. DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF
SPECIFIC PHOBIAS
• The phobic person experiences high levels of fear
and physiological arousal when encountering the
phobic object, which prompts strong urges to avoid
or escape the situation or to avoid the feared
stimulus, as in the following case.
20. DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF
SPECIFIC PHOBIAS
• To rise to the level of a diagnosable disorder,
the phobia must significantly affect the
person’s lifestyle or functioning or
cause significant distress.
22. DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF SPECIFIC
PHOBIAS
• Specific phobias are among the most common
psychological disorders, affecting about 9% of the
general population at some point in their lives
• The fear, anxiety, and avoidance associated with specific
phobias typically persist for six months or longer, and
often for years or even decades unless the phobia is
successfully treated.
23. DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF SPECIFIC
PHOBIAS
• Anxiety disorders in general and phobic disorders in
particular are more common in women than in men (McLean
& Anderson, 2009).
• Gender differences in development of phobias may reflect
cultural influences that socialize women into more dependent
roles in society
• People with specific phobias will often recognize that their
fears are exaggerated or unfounded. But they still are afraid,
as in the case of this young woman whose fear of medical
injections almost prevented her from getting married.
25. SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER
• Intense fear of social situations that they may
avoid them altogether or endure them only with
great distress.
• The underlying problem is an excessive fear of
negative evaluations from others—fear of being
rejected, humiliated, or embarrassed.
26. SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER
• Social anxiety or fear can severely impair a
person’s daily functioning and quality of life.
• People with social anxiety often turn to
tranquilizers or try to “medicate” themselves with
alcohol when preparing for social interactions
• People with social anxiety often turn to
tranquilizers or try to “medicate” themselves with
alcohol when preparing for social interactions
27. SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER
• The average age of onset of social anxiety disorder is about 15 years.
• About 80% of affected people develop the disorder by age 20
• Social anxiety is strongly associated with a history of childhood
shyness
• Social anxiety tends to be a chronic, persistent disorder, lasting
about 16 years on average
• Despite its early development and the many negative effects it has
on social functioning, people with social anxiety first receive help at
an average age of 27
28. AGORAPHOBIA
• Gk word “fear of the marketplace”
• fear of being out in open, busy areas
• They may structure their lives around avoiding exposure to
fearful situations and in some cases become housebound
for months or even years, even to the extent of being
unable to venture outside to mail a letter.
• The most INCAPACITATING type of phobia.
29. AGORAPHOBIA
• People with agoraphobia develop a fear of places and situations
from which it might be difficult or embarrassing to escape in the
event of panicky symptoms or a full-fledged panic attack or of
situations in which help may be unavailable if such problems
should occur.
• Women are about as likely as men to develop agoraphobia
• Frequently, it begins in late adolescence or early adulthood.
• It may occur either with or without accompanying panic disorder.
Agoraphobia is often, but not always, associated with panic
disorder.
40. COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE
•Oversensitivity to threatening cues.
•Overprediction of danger.
•Self-defeating thoughts and irrational
beliefs.
(e.g., Armfield, 2006; Schultz & Heimberg, 2008; Wenzel et al.,
2005)
Editor's Notes
Several other disorders that were previously classified in the category of anxiety
disorders are placed in the DSM-5 in new diagnostic categories with other disorders with which they share common features. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is now classified in a new diagnostic category of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, which we discuss later in the chapter. Acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder, which we discussed in Chapter 4, are now classified in a new category of Trauma- and Stressor- Related Disorders.
The anxiety disorders, along with dissociative disorders and somatic symptom and
related disorders (see Chapter 6), were classified as neuroses throughout most of the 19th century. The term neurosis derives from roots meaning “an abnormal or diseased condition of the nervous system.” The Scottish physician William Cullen coined the term neurosis in the 18th century. As the derivation implies, it was assumed that neurosis had biological origins. It was seen as an affliction of the nervous system.
According to Freud, disorders involving anxiety (as well as
the dissociative and somatic symptom disorders discussed in Chapter 6) represent ways in which the ego attempts to defend itself against anxiety. Freud’s views on the origins of these problems united them under the general category of neuroses. Freud’s concepts
People often describe panic attacks as the worst experiences of their lives. Their
coping abilities are overwhelmed. They may feel they must flee. If flight seems useless, they may “freeze.” There is a tendency to cling to others for help or support. Some people with panic attacks fear going out alone. Recurring panic attacks may become so difficult to cope with that panic sufferers become suicidal. People with panic disorder may avoid activities related to their attacks, such as exercise or venturing into places where attacks may occur or they fear may occur, or where they may be cut off from their usual supports. Consequently, panic disorder can lead to agoraphobia—an excessive fear of being in public places in which escape may be difficult or help unavailable (Berle et al., 2008).
That said, panic disorder without accompanying agoraphobia is much more common
than panic disorder with agoraphobia (Grant et al., 2006b).

Imagine what it’s like to have social anxiety disorder. You are always fearful of
doing or saying something humiliating or embarrassing. You may feel as if a thousand eyes are scrutinizing your every move. You are probably your own harshest critic and are likely to become fixated on whether your performance measures up when interacting with others. Negative thoughts run through your mind: “Did I say the right thing? Do they think I’m stupid?” You may even experience a full-fledged panic attack in social situations.
Stage fright, speech anxiety, and dating fears are common forms of social anxiety.

anxiety is a danger signal that threatening impulses of a sexual or aggressive (murderous or suicidal) nature are nearing the level of awareness. To fend off these threatening impulses, the ego mobilizes its defense mechanisms. In phobias, the Freudian defense mechanism of projection comes into play. A phobic reaction is a projection of the person’s own threatening impulses onto the phobic object
