FULL TEXT
2017 SEP 9 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Psychology &Psychiatry Journal -- Current study
results on Psychology have been published. According to news reporting originating from Klagenfurt, Austria, by
NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The game of chess has often been used for psychological
investigations, particularly in cognitive science. The clear-cut rules and well-defined environment of chess provide
a model for investigations of basic cognitive processes, such as perception, memory, and problem solving, while
the precise rating system for the measurement of skill has enabled investigations of individual differences and
expertise-related effects."
Financial support for this research came from Talent Austria Grant, Austrian Agency for International Cooperation
in Education and Research.
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Institute for Psychology, "In the present study, we focus
on another appealing feature of chess-namely, the large archive databases associated with the game. The German
national chess database presented in this study represents a fruitful ground for the investigation of multiple
longitudinal research questions, since it collects the data of over 130,000 players and spans over 25 years. The
German chess database collects the data of all players, including hobby players, and all tournaments played. This
results in a rich and complete collection of the skill, age, and activity of the whole population of chess players in
Germany. The database therefore complements the commonly used expertise approach in cognitive science by
opening up new possibilities for the investigation of multiple factors that underlie expertise and skill acquisition.
Since large datasets are not common in psychology, their introduction also raises the question of optimal and
efficient statistical analysis."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "We offer the database for download and illustrate how it
can be used by providing concrete examples and a step-by-step tutorial using different statistical analyses on a
ra.

Schizophrenia
The topic selected was schizophrenia. This is a severe and chronic mental disorder affecting the way humans think, feel and behave. Although this mental disorder is not very common, it has disabling symptoms.
Schizophrenia has continuously been viewed as a disorder that occurs in neurodevelopment. It is associated with a microdeletion syndrome of a chromosome. Neurons migrate to the pial surface from the brain's ventricular zone. "Migration of the neuron cell body is mediated via microtubule-based transport organized by the centrosome. First, the centrosome moves up the microtubule, followed by the nucleus and the cell body” (Pearlson, 2015). Neuronal migrations are reportedly caused by Reelin.
The etiology of schizophrenia is unknown, however, several risk factors have been associated with its development. These include environmental and genetic factors. Genetic factors are, however, insufficient to account for the development of the disease. They must be accompanied by other factors for the disease to develop. "Because the concordance rate for monozygotic twins only approaches 50%, genetic makeup alone is not sufficient for the development of schizophrenia, and non-genetic or sporadic forms of the disorder must exist” (Miyamoto et al, 2013).
Environmental factors that play an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia include obstetric complications such as hypoxia, preeclampsia, and premature birth. Other environmental factors include maternal viral infections and stress occurring in neurodevelopment. Stress during neurodevelopment may be caused by other factors such as microbial infections.
The pathology of schizophrenia includes the transcriptional dysregulation at the cerebral cortex and chromosomal conformations. “Anatomic, neurotransmitter and immune system abnormalities have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia” (Miyamoto et al, 2013). Differences have been observed in the brains of people with schizophrenia compared to the brains of people without the disease in neuroimaging studies. The medial temporal areas of the brain have a decreased volume while the ventricles are larger. Structural abnormalities such as volume reductions and ventricular enlargements have been associated with the disease.
The dopaminergic system abnormalities are also associated with schizophrenia. The immune system is also disturbed in people with the disease. “Overactivation of the immune system (eg, from prenatal infection or postnatal stress) may result in overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and subsequent alteration of brain structure and function” (Nuckols et al, 2013). Anatomic abnormalities may also be observed in the hippocampus.
In the prefrontal cortex, there has been a reported increase in neuronal density. One of the areas of the prefrontal cortex, area 9, has been found to h ...
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.

Misperception and Representation of People with Alzheimer Disease
Specific Aims
It is common knowledge that most of the people with Alzheimer disease have been misunderstood and continually misrepresented in the society all over the world. This has been the phenomenon since neuropsychologist discovered the disease in more than a century ago. Misrepresentation and misperception of people living with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have not just sent the patients to isolation but it has also contributed to the fewer acceptances of the people with the mental disorder. most of the people with the disorder have been dismissed from their workplace and discriminated against in most social places by the people who have low knowledge on the disorder as most of them whose mental fitness are yet to be discovered have been deemed misfit in the society and condemned to their houses and homes (Alzheimer's Association. 2013). Most of the developed nations have developed frameworks which have been used to detect this neurodegenerative disease which start as a normal disease and worsen the condition of the patient when it becomes chronic. However, this is not the case among most of the developing nations and even the structures in the developed nations are not sufficient which has made most of the people not to have sufficient knowledge on the cause, symptoms, and diagnosis of the mental illness. most of the people with Alzheimer's, usually become withdraw as most of the people in the society discriminate and stigmatize against them through misrepresentation and perceiving them in a wrong perspective. The study will seek to bring at an end the experience that people with Alzheimer face when they are misunderstood and misperceived in the society and develop health programs that can be used to eliminate the phenomenon.
Background to the Study
Studies have revealed that 60-70% of dementia is as a result of Alzheimer and the most common symptom of the disease is short-term memory loss which makes the patients not to remember events that took place recently. however, the symptoms and effects of the disease increase as the mental illness become more chronic and other symptoms may include and not limited to problems with language, disorientation which result to the patient getting lost, develop mood swings, lack self-care among other (Fratiglioni et al, 2009). The end of it is that the patients isolate and withdraw from the society. The fact that most of the patient loses their body functions and eventually dies has been a reason why most of the people in the society have distanced themselves with people with Alzheimer disease. The understanding of the disease is that one will have a life expectancy of fewer than nine years has also been an issue as it has caused much harm to the pat ...
The less adults sleep, the faster their. NEW GROUP PRESENTATIONAlex Taremwa
The document summarizes research from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore on the relationship between sleep duration and brain aging. The research studied 66 elderly Chinese adults and found that those who reported sleeping less each night showed signs of faster cognitive decline and brain deterioration. However, the sample size was small and only represented Chinese adults, so the conclusions have limited generalizability to other populations. Key elements missing from the research were a more representative population sample and more careful interpretation of the results.
This document summarizes current research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to help clinicians provide guidance to families. It discusses that ASD is characterized by difficulties with social communication and repetitive behaviors. While ASD is lifelong, outcomes have improved in recent decades due to things like increased community support services. However, most individuals still require lifelong support. The document reviews signs and symptoms of ASD based on diagnostic criteria, issues around screening and diagnosis at different ages, risk factors and causes, available treatments and their effectiveness, transitions individuals face, and recommendations for clinicians in assisting families.
Case studies are in-depth analyses of a single person, group, or event. They provide rich qualitative data through various sources like observations, interviews, and documents. While case studies offer detailed insights, their results cannot be generalized to wider populations due to studying a single case. They are also subject to researcher bias and are time-intensive. However, case studies provide useful information for generating hypotheses to test with other methods.
Academic study that symptoms of dissociative identity disorder.pdfMiranda Anderson
This document summarizes a journal article about dissociative identity disorder (DID). It discusses that the symptoms of DID can cause suffering for the affected person as well as their family and community. Comorbid conditions like anxiety and self-harm are common. There is debate around whether DID is a real condition and how it develops. The document reviews literature on the prevalence of DID, how it develops over time, available treatments, and guidelines for future research.
Based on the authors’ own clinical experiences, these seventee.docxjasoninnes20
Based on the authors’ own clinical experiences, these seventeen comprehensive
case histories reflect the most common psychological disorders. Rich in detail, inte-
grated in approach, and fully updated for the DSM-5, each case describes patient
symptoms and history, the formulation and implementation of a treatment plan,
and results. Each case also includes the perspective of a family member or friend.
This unique viewpoint emphasizes the impact of psychological disorders on those
closest to the patient as well as the importance of considering sociocultural factors
in diagnosis and treatment. Each case study concludes with assessment questions
that help students check their understanding of the symptoms, diagnosis, and
treatment of the disorder exhibited by the patient. Three additional cases provide
opportunities for students to identify disorders and suggest appropriate therapies.
Diagnostic information and treatment strategies for the patients in these “You
Decide” cases are provided in appendices for students to check their assessments.

Returning genetic research results in neurodevelopmental disorders: report an...KBHN KT
This report originated from discussions at the Annual Brain Development Conference in
late 2013 between researchers in the Neuroethics Core and Autism Spectrum Disorders
Project of NeuroDevNet. Discussants felt that return of research results is a pertinent
issue but that researchers are missing a comprehensive picture of the recommendations,
approaches and empirical data related to the return of research results in genetics studies
in children, in neurodevelopmental disorders, and specifically in autism.
This report provides an overview of recent genetic studies of autism spectrum disorder
(ASD), and reviews the ethical guidance (policies and peer-reviewed literature) and
best practices on the return of individual research results in adult and pediatric genetic
research. We focus on this case because of the wealth of genetic research being
carried out in families and cohorts to explain the etiology of ASD and because there is a
burgeoning literature on parental perspectives on the return of results in this case. The
empirical perspectives are collected and summarized and provide context with regard to
researcher and parent perspectives on the return of genetic results in ASD studies.
We conclude by making recommendations about the return of both incidental and
ASD-related findings and highlight issues that merit further discussion, including the
role of the child or adolescent with developmental disability in decision-making, and
the importance of risk communication. We believe that the report will be of use not only
for those working in the area of ASD but more broadly in the field of pediatric genetic
research and neurodevelopmental disorder research. For example, the publication of new
evidence showing that genetic alterations play an important role in the etiology of cerebral
palsy in some children means that genetic research may becoming increasingly common
in other areas of the study of neurodevelopmental disorders.
1. Renick Lee took on a final year project with the Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology (SINAPSE) to study schizophrenia, the institute's first probe into this severe mental disorder.
2. His project used brain imaging techniques like structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging to examine structural differences in brain networks between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.
3. Preliminary findings revealed compromised brain networks in patients, which if validated could serve as a potential biomarker for further understanding the illness's progress and informing new therapies.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and interaction, as well as restrictive and repetitive behaviors. The worldwide prevalence of autism is estimated to be around 1%, though estimates are higher in high-resource countries. While no clear brain pathology defines autism, neuroimaging and postmortem studies have observed subtle anatomical and functional brain differences. Genetic findings have applied mainly to heterogeneous groups rather than specific subtypes. Early intervention can improve social and language skills and may reduce symptom severity, but more research is needed on long-term outcomes and treatments. Families are often the primary source of support for individuals with autism throughout life.

The fact that most of the patient loses their body functions and eventually dies has been a reason why most of the people in the society have distanced themselves with people with Alzheimer disease. The understanding of the disease is that one will have a life expectancy of fewer than nine years has also been an issue as it has caused much harm to the pat ...
The less adults sleep, the faster their. NEW GROUP PRESENTATIONAlex Taremwa
The document summarizes research from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore on the relationship between sleep duration and brain aging. The research studied 66 elderly Chinese adults and found that those who reported sleeping less each night showed signs of faster cognitive decline and brain deterioration. However, the sample size was small and only represented Chinese adults, so the conclusions have limited generalizability to other populations. Key elements missing from the research were a more representative population sample and more careful interpretation of the results.
This document summarizes current research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to help clinicians provide guidance to families. It discusses that ASD is characterized by difficulties with social communication and repetitive behaviors. While ASD is lifelong, outcomes have improved in recent decades due to things like increased community support services. However, most individuals still require lifelong support. The document reviews signs and symptoms of ASD based on diagnostic criteria, issues around screening and diagnosis at different ages, risk factors and causes, available treatments and their effectiveness, transitions individuals face, and recommendations for clinicians in assisting families.
Case studies are in-depth analyses of a single person, group, or event. They provide rich qualitative data through various sources like observations, interviews, and documents. While case studies offer detailed insights, their results cannot be generalized to wider populations due to studying a single case. They are also subject to researcher bias and are time-intensive. However, case studies provide useful information for generating hypotheses to test with other methods.
Academic study that symptoms of dissociative identity disorder.pdfMiranda Anderson
This document summarizes a journal article about dissociative identity disorder (DID). It discusses that the symptoms of DID can cause suffering for the affected person as well as their family and community. Comorbid conditions like anxiety and self-harm are common. There is debate around whether DID is a real condition and how it develops. The document reviews literature on the prevalence of DID, how it develops over time, available treatments, and guidelines for future research.
Based on the authors’ own clinical experiences, these seventee.docxjasoninnes20
Based on the authors’ own clinical experiences, these seventeen comprehensive
case histories reflect the most common psychological disorders. Rich in detail, inte-
grated in approach, and fully updated for the DSM-5, each case describes patient
symptoms and history, the formulation and implementation of a treatment plan,
and results. Each case also includes the perspective of a family member or friend.
This unique viewpoint emphasizes the impact of psychological disorders on those
closest to the patient as well as the importance of considering sociocultural factors
in diagnosis and treatment. Each case study concludes with assessment questions
that help students check their understanding of the symptoms, diagnosis, and
treatment of the disorder exhibited by the patient. Three additional cases provide
opportunities for students to identify disorders and suggest appropriate therapies.
Diagnostic information and treatment strategies for the patients in these “You
Decide” cases are provided in appendices for students to check their assessments.

Returning genetic research results in neurodevelopmental disorders: report an...KBHN KT
This report originated from discussions at the Annual Brain Development Conference in
late 2013 between researchers in the Neuroethics Core and Autism Spectrum Disorders
Project of NeuroDevNet. Discussants felt that return of research results is a pertinent
issue but that researchers are missing a comprehensive picture of the recommendations,
approaches and empirical data related to the return of research results in genetics studies
in children, in neurodevelopmental disorders, and specifically in autism.
This report provides an overview of recent genetic studies of autism spectrum disorder
(ASD), and reviews the ethical guidance (policies and peer-reviewed literature) and
best practices on the return of individual research results in adult and pediatric genetic
research. We focus on this case because of the wealth of genetic research being
carried out in families and cohorts to explain the etiology of ASD and because there is a
burgeoning literature on parental perspectives on the return of results in this case. The
empirical perspectives are collected and summarized and provide context with regard to
researcher and parent perspectives on the return of genetic results in ASD studies.
We conclude by making recommendations about the return of both incidental and
ASD-related findings and highlight issues that merit further discussion, including the
role of the child or adolescent with developmental disability in decision-making, and
the importance of risk communication. We believe that the report will be of use not only
for those working in the area of ASD but more broadly in the field of pediatric genetic
research and neurodevelopmental disorder research. For example, the publication of new
evidence showing that genetic alterations play an important role in the etiology of cerebral
palsy in some children means that genetic research may becoming increasingly common
in other areas of the study of neurodevelopmental disorders.
1. Renick Lee took on a final year project with the Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology (SINAPSE) to study schizophrenia, the institute's first probe into this severe mental disorder.
2. His project used brain imaging techniques like structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging to examine structural differences in brain networks between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.
3. Preliminary findings revealed compromised brain networks in patients, which if validated could serve as a potential biomarker for further understanding the illness's progress and informing new therapies.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and interaction, as well as restrictive and repetitive behaviors. The worldwide prevalence of autism is estimated to be around 1%, though estimates are higher in high-resource countries. While no clear brain pathology defines autism, neuroimaging and postmortem studies have observed subtle anatomical and functional brain differences. Genetic findings have applied mainly to heterogeneous groups rather than specific subtypes. Early intervention can improve social and language skills and may reduce symptom severity, but more research is needed on long-term outcomes and treatments. Families are often the primary source of support for individuals with autism throughout life.

GENDER
Should a Female Director “Tone It
Down”?
by Boris Groysberg and Deborah Bell
FROM THE OCTOBER 2014 ISSUE
HBR fictionalized case studies present dilemmas faced by leaders in real companies andoffer solutions from experts.
Finally, Sarah thought. J.P. Offutt, the CEO, had named a time when they could meet.
Sarah was a director of the company that J.P. ran, a Florida-based shopping-center-development
group, and she was devoted to both him and his firm. But board meetings had been tense recently,
and J.P. had grown distant.
In Sarah’s opinion, the problem was obvious: Sid Yerby, the CFO. Despite Sarah’s repeated requests
for comprehensive financial statements, he continued to come to board meetings with a mere two
pages of analysis that lacked any explanation. How could she or any of the other directors provide
fiscal oversight without access to details of the company’s operations or accounting?
Increasingly, however, hers seemed to be the minority view, and she was starting to feel isolated.
Some months back, J.P. had told her privately that he appreciated her persistence with Sid. The
young and inexperienced CEO confessed that he often felt uncomforta.

Annotation Example
In this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between "instrumental" and "communicative" learning. "Instrumental learning" refers to those processes which measure and gauge learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. "Communicative learning," on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls "critical-dialectical-discourse," (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is "transformative learning," (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that "hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse" (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don't think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence--like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we'd see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.

FULL TEXT
2. 2017 SEP 9 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor
at Psychology &Psychiatry Journal -- Current study
results on Psychology have been published. According to news
reporting originating from Klagenfurt, Austria, by
NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The game of chess
has often been used for psychological
investigations, particularly in cognitive science. The clear-cut
rules and well-defined environment of chess provide
a model for investigations of basic cognitive processes, such as
perception, memory, and problem solving, while
the precise rating system for the measurement of skill has
enabled investigations of individual differences and
expertise-related effects."
Financial support for this research came from Talent Austria
Grant, Austrian Agency for International Cooperation
in Education and Research.
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from
Institute for Psychology, "In the present study, we focus
on another appealing feature of chess-namely, the large archive
databases associated with the game. The German
national chess database presented in this study represents a
fruitful ground for the investigation of multiple
longitudinal research questions, since it collects the data of over
130,000 players and spans over 25 years. The
3. German chess database collects the data of all players,
including hobby players, and all tournaments played. This
results in a rich and complete collection of the skill, age, and
activity of the whole population of chess players in
Germany. The database therefore complements the commonly
used expertise approach in cognitive science by
opening up new possibilities for the investigation of multiple
factors that underlie expertise and skill acquisition.
Since large datasets are not common in psychology, their
introduction also raises the question of optimal and
efficient statistical analysis."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "We
offer the database for download and illustrate how it
can be used by providing concrete examples and a step-by-step
tutorial using different statistical analyses on a
range of topics, including skill development over the lifetime,
birth cohort effects, effects of activity and inactivity
on skill, and gender differences."

TOURETTE SYNDROME 2
Abstract
The Tourette Syndrome is publicly known in 1885, described by
a French doctor, to whom it
owes its name. It is a neurological disorder of which the causes
are unknown in their entirety, but
its genetic character has been proven. Symptoms are different in
each person and are
characterized by movements called tics; more frequent in boys
than in girls. Tics tend to
disappear in adulthood in most cases. People with this syndrome
have normal expectations of
life. The investigations continue with the purpose of being able
to provide an effective treatment
that improves the quality of life of those people who suffer this
syndrome.
8. TOURETTE SYNDROME 3
History about this disease:
The Syndrome of Gilles de la Tourette is a neurological
disorder that induces the
individual to perform involuntary movements or sounds out of
the ordinary called tics. Appears
in childhood with severe or moderate tics, which persist for
more than a year and can be for life.
In many cases they tend to improve or even disappear during the
last stage of adolescence or in
adulthood. It is a hereditary disorder of autosomal dominant
form, behaving as a pattern of
complex inheritance. The gene carriers do not necessarily need
to develop the symptoms of this
9. syndrome. Also, the gender has a determining influence.
This syndrome owes its name to Dr. George Gilles de la
Tourette who lived from 1859 to
1904. In 1885 he described for the first time the disorders of
this disease with the study of 9
cases that presented involuntary reflexes; and diagnosed the
disease in an 86-year-old French
noblewoman. Currently there are many investigations that are
being conducted proving that the
symptoms appear in childhood, beginning between 5 and 10
years of age regardless of ethnic
groups.
Research has also shown that the chances of males being more
affected than females is 4
times higher. Sometimes, girls can only develop compulsive
obsessive symptoms.
In the United States, approximately 200,000 people suffer from
the most severe form of this
disease, and an average of 3.8% of children from 5 to 18 years
of age can suffer from it.
Symptoms and Sings
The symptoms can vary from mild to very severe, but in most
cases, they develop
10. moderately. This syndrome can be persistent chronic throughout
life, but usually in the first years
of adolescence the most severe stage is suffered. Later it may or
may not improve and even
TOURETTE SYNDROME 4
disappear in adulthood. The first symptoms appear in the head
and neck; they can progress
involving more muscles of the body either of the trunk or the
extremities. The symptoms of the
disease may be associated with the existence of other
neurological or psychiatric conditions.
Generally, this disease is evidenced by repetitive movements or
unwanted sounds, which
cannot be controlled like constant blinking, the use of coarse
words and movements of different
parts of the body. Coupled with this are compulsive behaviors,
impulsivity, lack of self-control,
hyperactivity, repetition of incoherent words or phrases,
meaningless words, chronic coughing,
involuntary eyelid spasms, stuttering, muscle contractions,
increased muscle activity, difficulty
moving any limb of the body or the body in general and
involuntary movements. All this coupled
11. with a growing state of anxiety, depression and fear.
Causes
Despite the studies that are carried out, the causes of this
condition are unknown. Researchers
link their causes to abnormalities in some regions of the brain
such as basal ganglia, frontal lobes
and cerebral cortex. It is also related to problems in the circuits
that make the connection
between these regions and neurotransmitters such as serotonin,
dopamine and norepinephrine
that facilitate communication between neurons.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of this disease is made clinically, as a result of
persistent motor or vocal
tics in the patient for one year or longer. Many cases find
improvements in late adolescence or at
the beginning of adulthood. Only in 10% of those affected does
the disease persist until they
reach the age of majority. The diagnosis can be established in a
better way when the symptoms
are related to other conditions. Blood tests or laboratories are
not needed to detect this syndrome,
12. but studies such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Computed
Tomography and
TOURETTE SYNDROME 5
Electroencephalogram are used for its diagnosis. Many patients
are slow to be diagnosed because
when presenting simple or moderate tics, they and their
relatives consider it secondary and
associate it with another disease. Example of this, they
associate repetitive blinking with vision
problems or sounds of throat and cough with allergies. On the
other hand, once patients and
relatives already have previous knowledge about the disease can
perform a self-diagnosis.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-5) tics are
divided into three categories:
- Motor and vocal tics present in the patient for more than one
year (Tourette Syndrome)
- Motor and vocal tics showing one of them or both at the same
time (Persistent Disorder)
-Motor or vocal tics that are presented separately or joined in
less than one year (Provisional tics
13. disorders)
The inclusion in one of these 3 groups is done considering that
the behavior of the patient
has not been modified by any drug or associated with another
disease. These motor and vocal tics
are classified as we have already seen in simple ones like
blinking, grimacing, cephalic jerking
without social sense and in complexes like grunts or barks and
sniffing. There is also the
classification of sensory and cognitive tics. Sensory tics are
those involuntary recurrent sensations
such as tingling, cold, heat, heaviness, lightness and
strangeness. Cognitive tics are defined as
repetitive thoughts with aggressive content.
Medical terminologies have been created to describe some
symptoms of this syndrome, such as
Coprolalia which is used to describe one of the most confused
and attacked symptoms. Patients
with this symptom express obscene words, derogatory
comments, and refer to the genital areas,
excrement and sexual act. We can also find Echolalia which
refer to patients who repeat what is
expressed by other people, they cannot communicate correctly
because they are not able to
14. TOURETTE SYNDROME 6
express their own thoughts. In addition to Palilalia who are
patients that repeat syllables or
words, then we can have Echopraxia which refer to patients that
repeat the movements that other
people make, and finally, we have Copropraxia which refer to
patients who perform obscene or
forbidden involuntary gestures and obsessive behavior.
Environmental Causes
Although the causes are unknown in their totality, studies have
shown that in addition to a
strong and complex genetic disorder, there are environmental
risks that can contribute to the
suffering of this disease. Among these environmental risks are
complications during pregnancy,
smoking during the same, the consumption of toxic substances,
low birth weight, fetal distress
caused by incorrect medical practices or negligence of the
pregnant woman, infections caused by
bacteria and other germs and emotional variability.
Treatment Plans
15. When tics do not produce disability, the patient usually does not
require medical
treatment. Patients who are affected by their daily activities in a
severe way due to the disease
are treated with drugs from the group of neuroleptics.
Haloperidol and Pimozide have been very
effective in delaying the onset and duration of tics. All these
treatments bring with them side
effects, which are treated from the beginning of the treatment
and personalized with each patient,
assessing tolerance in the doses. Among the most common side
effects are drowsiness, weight
gain, cognitive dullness, shuddering and dystonic reactions.
When these drugs are used for long
periods, to suppress them they must be of gradual form, to avoid
the effect of rebound in the tics
or the dyskinesia that is a movement disorder not associated
with the Tourette Syndrome. For
this reason, neuroleptics are used in low doses for short periods.
Other symptoms presented by
TOURETTE SYNDROME 7
16. patients such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or
obsessive-compulsive symptoms are
treated with inhibitors, which have been shown to be effective.
A medication that by itself is effective in the treatment of tics
has not yet been found, but
it does help patients in their daily lives. There are other types of
treatments without the use of
drugs when possible or using both. Behavioral Therapies are an
example of them through this,
patients learn different ways to control the tics; helping to
reduce the number of appearances, the
seriousness of them and the personal and social impact. Another
example is the technique of
Inversion of habit or counterconditioning, this practice requires
a lot of study from both
specialists in charge and patients; has two main stages: Training
in awareness, where each tick is
identified aloud; and incompatible or substitute response
training: where you learn a new
behavior that cannot happen at the same time as the tics.
Example: If the person has a tic that
causes him to touch his head, a new behavior would be to put
his hands on his knee, so as not to
touch his head.
17. Another of the alternative treatments are therapies of
Comprehensive Behavioral
Interventions for Tics (CBIT) this therapy is based on the
inversion of habits, education on tics
and relaxation techniques. This technique is developed in
practice involving therapists, family
members, among others. Although this therapy has been very
helpful, unfortunately the staff able
to perform it is not very numerous. Training therapies for the
family are very useful for both
family members and patients, as it helps them to better
understand the problems and the use in
each case of positive reinforcement and discipline to follow.
Tourette Syndrome does not affect the life expectancy of the
patient and does not
diminish the intelligence capacity. Not all patients need medical
treatment, but it is very frequent
that many patients begin to suffer from neuro-behavior
disorders such as depression, panic
TOURETTE SYNDROME 8
attacks, obsessive disorder and antisocial behavior that leads to
18. isolation. All these associated
conditions can severely affect the patient even when the initial
symptoms of the syndrome have
improved or disappeared. The ages vary greatly both in the
appearance of the first symptoms and
in the complexity of their development. The disease in most
cases is improving in the late stage
of adolescence especially after 20 years, behaving free of
symptoms. Many patients can stop
taking medications to reduce tics, and even if this happens, it is
not a neglected disease. It is
encouraging that only in 10% of patients do symptoms remain
severe until they reach the age of
majority.
Considering the age of the onset of this disease, behavior and
development; We can
understand that it gives children many emotional problems, a
great physical loss and little social
integration. Coupled with this, we know that the environmental
conditions that surround patients
cause an increase in tics because when they are more concerned
about controlling them, less they
get them. That is why it is so important that people go to the
doctor to have an adequate
19. diagnosis and therefore receive the right help, where they can
learn techniques to stay calm and
learn to live with their situation.
Suggestion on how to overcome the disorder
For all parents, raising children becomes a great responsibility
and more when your child
suffers from a condition like Tourette's Syndrome. It can
generate a stressful environment, so
something fundamental is the knowledge about the disease,
learn about the behaviors to continue
to help your child to the social insertion and the most important
thing to make the child feel in a
safe environment.
Offer understanding and help whenever the child needs it. Never
ask him to control his
tics since they are uncontrollable. Parents must collaborate in
schools to achieve special and
TOURETTE SYNDROME 9
personalized attention to their child. In many cases both
children and youth are victims of
bullying by their peers, for this reason should talk with them
20. and teach them to be prepared to
lead with the harmful comments. It is very useful to disseminate
the characteristics of this
disease at a social level, especially in the schools and work
centers where those affected are
located. We must create favorable conditions for each person
with this syndrome, so that they
can develop their activities in a pleasant way. Help and support
your child in establishing
personal relationships, participating in activities and not
isolating himself. This will help him
meet new people, make new friends and develop social skills.
Parents should not limit the daily
activities of their children, the children should try to learn and
perform all their activities if they
are sure that they have the capacity to develop them, otherwise
the children could experience
frustration. When children and their families manage to
understand and live with the disease, life
is not so difficult.
21. TOURETTE SYNDROME 10
Conclusions
The Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, despite having been
discovered since the 19th
century, continues being an enigma. It is a chronic behavioral
neurological disorder; whose
symptoms appear in childhood or adolescence. Significant
aspect because children and young
people begin to live from an early age with this condition,
whose assimilation can be difficult
and contradictory. This syndrome is not only motor and vocal
tics; it goes much further. The
rejection produced by social ignorance generates stress to the
patients who suffer it. That is why
knowledge about the disease at the social level becomes one of
the most important aspects to
achieve the assessment and attention of the educational and
social needs of these patients. We
must achieve a tolerant and understanding environment that
encourages them to develop their
capacities and that be flexible to be adapted to the demands of
these people.
