Jeremy, a 21-year-old pizza delivery man, has been experiencing auditory hallucinations and delusions for the past three months while working. He has trouble focusing on tasks and following conversations. Based on his symptoms, the psychiatrist diagnoses Jeremy with schizophrenia. To confirm the diagnosis, tests are performed to rule out other potential causes and further examine his thoughts, moods, and mental status. Schizophrenia is thought to involve excessive dopamine activity in the brain and abnormal synaptic pruning, though the exact mechanisms are unknown. Lifelong treatment typically involves antipsychotic medication alongside therapy.

It outlines the problem of thousands of acres of rainforest being burned to grow coffee trees. It then summarizes key points from several websites that were researched on this topic, finding that vast amounts of primary forest have been cleared for coffee cultivation, leading to rampant deforestation and impacts to wildlife habitats and migration routes. Potential solutions discussed include crop rotation, replanting forests, and promoting conservation and shade-grown coffee methods to help reduce environmental impacts.

The case study aimed to identify the effects of the brain injury through detailed assessment.
ZOO 400
This document summarizes an epigenetic study aiming to reveal the etiology of schizophrenia. It discusses that environmental factors can lead to epigenetic changes like DNA methylation and histone modification in genes related to GABA and reelin, which are downregulated in schizophrenia. Studies have found differences in histone modifications and enzymes like HDAC1 in schizophrenic brains. Epigenetic modifications from factors like prenatal nutrition, drug use, and stress may contribute to schizophrenia risk and symptoms. Understanding these epigenetic mechanisms could help discover new treatments and prevention strategies for schizophrenia.
Poster_Fifer
This study used a double-step task and pupillometry to assess response inhibition and attention/arousal in schizophrenia patients versus healthy controls. During the task, subjects had to look at targets that either remained in one location or stepped to a second location after a delay. Pupil size was measured between target presentations. Results found smaller pupil sizes in patients correlated with slower response inhibition. Patients also had generally smaller pupil sizes than controls. The study suggests reduced pupil size in patients may indicate greater cognitive engagement, though it paradoxically linked to worse inhibition performance. Pupil measurements provide insight into potential mechanisms of impaired cognitive control in schizophrenia.

Mental disorders are characterized by abnormalities in thoughts, perceptions, mood, and behavior that deviate from social norms. Psychopathology is the study of these deviations and symptoms of mental disorders. Descriptive psychopathology involves close observation of patients' behavior and exploration of their subjective experiences, without assumptions about causes. Symptoms can be delusions, hallucinations, disturbances in thoughts, mood, perception, and memory. Cultural variations exist in how symptoms are expressed and understood.

Lecture presentation amls_lesson10_toxicology
This document discusses toxicology, hazardous materials, and weapons of mass destruction. It begins by outlining the objectives of reviewing toxidromes, hazardous environments, and managing toxicologic emergencies using the AMLS Assessment Pathway. It then defines key terms like toxicology, toxidrome, and major toxidromes. The autonomic nervous system and its sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are described. Initial approaches for hazardous scenes and weapons of mass destruction exposures are reviewed. Two case studies of potential toxic exposures are then presented and managed using the AMLS Assessment Pathway.
Chapter14
This document discusses schizophrenia, including its causes and treatment. It notes that schizophrenia is linked to genetic vulnerability and neurotransmitter abnormalities like dopamine. The dopamine hypothesis suggests that positive symptoms are related to prefrontal abnormalities while negative symptoms relate to temporal abnormalities. Medications treat schizophrenia by affecting neurotransmitters at synapses. There are risks to medication use as well. The document contrasts schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder.
obsessive compulsive disorder
1. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety.
2. OCD affects 1-2% of the population and commonly involves obsessions around contamination, doubts, and symmetry as well as compulsions like cleaning, checking, and ordering.
3. Cognitive behavioral therapy, specifically exposure and response prevention is the most effective treatment where patients are exposed to anxiety-provoking triggers while resisting compulsions. Medications like SSRIs are also used but may not be as long lasting.
Acute confusional state
This document discusses acute confusional state (delirium). It defines delirium as an acute mental status change characterized by abnormal and fluctuating attention. There are three subtypes of delirium - hyperactive, hypoactive, and mixed. Delirium is very common in hospitalized patients, especially in the ICU. It has a multifactorial etiology, with common causes including metabolic disturbances, toxins, infections, neurological issues, and the perioperative period. Diagnosis involves assessing for features of acute onset and fluctuating course, inattention, disorganized thinking, and altered consciousness. Treatment focuses on treating underlying causes, preventing delirium through non-pharmacological measures, and potentially using low-dose antipsychotics
Schizophrenia Presentation
Disorganized schizophrenia is a severe subtype of schizophrenia characterized by incoherent and illogical thoughts and behaviors that prevent daily functioning. Signs include disorganized thinking and speech, inappropriate behavior, lack of emotion, and delusions or hallucinations. It is diagnosed using criteria from the DSM including evidence of disorganized speech, behavior, blunted emotions, and emotions inappropriate for situations. The causes are likely genetic and environmental factors combined with imbalances in neurotransmitters like dopamine.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that causes difficulties with thinking, emotions and behavior. Symptoms usually emerge in late teens to early 30s and include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech and behavior. Genetics and environmental factors both contribute to its development. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications to manage symptoms as well as support for independent living. Relapse is common if medications are stopped, so ongoing monitoring and compliance are important for long-term management of the condition.
Terms in psychiatry
1. The document discusses key terms and concepts in psychiatry, including common mental disorders, combining forms, abbreviations, tests, treatments, and pharmacological agents.
2. It describes common symptoms of mental illnesses like anxiety, depression, psychosis, and others. It also explains several specific mental disorders like alcohol/substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dissociative disorders, and others.
3. Treatments discussed include psychotherapy, behavior therapy, group therapy, electroconvulsive therapy, play therapy, hypnosis, psychoanalysis, and pharmacological treatments using different drug classes.

Grand Rounds Pharmacogenomics
The document discusses the field of pharmacogenomics and its applications in psychiatry. Specifically, it focuses on how genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), affect individual responses to psychiatric medications by influencing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways. It provides examples of how testing for genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 enzyme genes, such as CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, can help predict drug metabolism and avoid adverse reactions. The document cautions that clinical applications are still limited but genetic testing may help medication selection for some patients.
Impulse control disorders 1.pptx
The document provides an overview of impulse control disorders, including their introduction, etiology, epidemiology, disorders (oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, pyromania, kleptomania), criteria, differential diagnosis, course and prognosis, treatment, and neurobiology. Key points include that impulse control disorders involve externalizing hostility and impaired inhibition, their multifactorial origins, their varying prevalence rates, evaluation involving history and collateral information, treatment involving psychosocial and pharmacological approaches, and the role of the monoamine neurotransmitter systems in their pathophysiology.
Schizophrenia - Psychology AQA
Schizophrenia is diagnosed based on the presence of positive or negative symptoms for a minimum duration. It has biological causes such as genetic vulnerabilities and dopamine dysregulation in the brain. Psychological factors like childhood trauma and stressful family environments can interact with these biological factors to increase vulnerability or trigger the onset of schizophrenia symptoms. Effective treatment involves a combination approach using antipsychotic medications to manage symptoms along with psychological therapies like CBT to improve quality of life.
Jp's ocd
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by unwanted and repeated thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). It can range from mild to severe and negatively impact daily functioning if left untreated. While historically thought to be caused by religious or moral failings, modern research indicates OCD has biological and genetic causes involving abnormalities in brain circuits. Serotonin dysregulation and infections have also been linked to OCD development. Diagnosis requires obsessions, compulsions, or both according to diagnostic criteria and can be performed by a mental health professional.
Biological explanations by S Laljee
The document discusses several biological explanations for schizophrenia, including genetics, biochemistry, and brain structure. It evaluates the evidence for each explanation and notes limitations, such as inconsistent or contradictory findings. The document concludes that while biology likely plays a role, no single explanation accounts for all cases of schizophrenia, so psychological factors should also be considered.
Mood disorder & Manic episode
Mania is a facet of type I bipolar disorder in which the mood state is abnormally heightened and accompanied by hyperactivity and a reduced need for sleep.
Online gcm clerks schizophrenia lecture
Brief psychotic disorder is an acute and transient psychotic condition involving the sudden onset of psychotic symptoms that last for less than 1 month and follow a severe stressor. Symptoms must resolve completely with full return to previous functioning levels. Onset is typically between ages 20-35. Treatment involves hospitalization if safety is a concern along with antipsychotic medication and psychotherapy. Prognosis is generally good with full recovery.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Case Study: Schizophrenia
- 2. CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL Jeremy, a 21-year-old male, works part-time delivering pizza. Upon arriving at a customerโs house, he has extreme difficulty deciding whether to ring the doorbell or knock on the door. After a couple minutes, he rings the doorbell. A woman opens the door, pulls out her wallet, and asks Jeremy the cost of the order. He doesnโt hear her because he is focused on a eerie silhouette in a brightly lit corner of her house. A voice repeatedly tells him to grab her wallet and run. The woman hands him a $50 bill and tells him to keep the change. Jeremy is able to focus on his job again and quickly departs. This is the fourth time Jeremy has experienced this since beginning his job three months ago.
- 3. YOUR TURN What is your initial diagnosis for Jeremy? Which tests would you perform to confirm your diagnosis?
- 4. DIAGNOSIS โข A physical exam was performed and ruled out conditions harboring similar symptoms, such as seizure disorders, metabolic disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and brain tumors. โข Various tests and screenings were done to pinpoint causes that may have been induced by drug and alcohol use. Results were negative. โข Diagnosis of schizophrenia was made by a psychiatrist. Jeremyโs mental status was checked through questions about his thoughts, moods, delusions, hallucinations, and violent/suicidal urges.
- 6. MECHANISM โข Although an exact mechanism is not known, there are multiple hypotheses that attempt to explain the causes behind schizophrenia.
- 7. DOPAMINE HYPOTHESIS โข Argues that a patientโs unorthodox behavior is caused by an excess amount of dopamine receptors at the post-synaptic membrane of their neurons. โข Evidence comes from studies of numerous schizophrenic patients compared to healthy patients โข Schizophrenics are more sensitive to dopamine uptake, have different volumes of grey matter in their brains (which are linked to dopamine sensitivity), and experience less symptoms when dopamine receptors are blocked
- 8. PRUNING HYPOTHESIS โข Based on the observation that schizophrenia tends to run in families โข A group at Harvard Medical School examined the C4 gene, which codes for complement component 4, because it has the strongest ties to schizophrenia. (C4 is part of the immune system pathway that eliminates pathogens and cell debris.) โข Found that C4 was expressed at much higher levels in schizophrenic patients, especially at synapses โข Concluded that C4 is likely involved with promotion of synaptic pruning โข Recurrent synaptic pruning can largely impair mental function, which may explain schizophrenic behavior
- 9. TREATMENT โข Schizophrenia requires a lifetime of treatment, even when symptoms lessen โข Usually administered and guided by a psychiatrist, possibly along with a psychologist, social worker, or case manager โข Antipsychotic medications that regulate dopamine are usually prescribed โข Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication may also be prescribed โข Various therapy sessions may also be conducted to help focus on learning how to cope with stress, identifying signs of relapse, and improving communication among friends and family
- 10. REFERENCES โข A biological mechanism for schizophrenia. (2016, February 2). Retrieved December 19, 2016, from https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/biological- mechanism-schizophrenia โข Schizophrenia. (2016, October 11).
