Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness that causes changes in thinking, perception, emotions, language, sense of self and behavior. Core symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders. It develops gradually and can cause a person to withdraw from reality and social interactions. Schizophrenia has no single known cause but likely involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. It is diagnosed through evaluations of symptoms, medical history, and examinations to rule out other potential causes.

Mental health research
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior, failure to understand reality, and psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. It typically emerges in young adulthood and lasts a long time. Symptoms can be positive (hallucinations, delusions) or negative (lack of motivation, withdrawal). There are several types of schizophrenia with varying symptoms. The exact causes are unknown but genetics, brain chemistry, birth complications, stress, and family history are risk factors. People with schizophrenia are at higher risk for other health issues and have a 10-15 year reduced life expectancy on average.
Schizophrenia (Psychology) - Details, symptoms, treatment etc.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder defined as a "split from reality" and is characterized by disorganized thinking, disturbed perceptions, and inappropriate emotions and actions. It has several subtypes including paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, and undifferentiated. Symptoms include positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as well as negative symptoms involving social withdrawal and lack of emotion. While the exact causes are unclear, potential contributing factors include genetics, brain chemistry imbalances, infections, and immune disorders. Treatment involves both medication and psychosocial therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and family support.
Alzheimers
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic, terminal disease that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. While the exact cause is unknown, genetic factors may play a role. It typically affects older adults over age 50, with symptoms including forgetting recent events, names, places and misplacing items. Alzheimer's progressively destroys brain cells, impairing memory and mental abilities, and can be diagnosed through brain scans. Currently, there is no known cure or way to prevent the destruction of brain cells once symptoms appear.
Schizophrenia research
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.
Schizophrenia 123
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that affects about 1% of the population worldwide. It is characterized by positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, as well as negative symptoms such as reduced emotional expression. The causes involve both genetic and environmental factors. Treatment involves use of antipsychotic medications to target symptoms, though psychosocial support is also important given the functional impairments. While management can help control symptoms, complete recovery is rare as it is a spectrum of cognitive, emotional and behavioral dysfunctions. Future therapies may involve genetic approaches.
Alzheimers
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive form of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It develops due to factors such as age, family history, and genes. Symptoms usually develop slowly over time and include difficulty remembering new information as well as disorientation and mood changes. There is no cure for Alzheimer's but available treatments can temporarily slow symptoms and improve quality of life. Maintaining brain health through a healthy lifestyle may help reduce risks of developing Alzheimer's.

Schizophrenia changed
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that causes psychosis, including hallucinations and delusions. It typically develops in late teens to early 30s in men and late 20s to 30s in women. There is no definitive medical test, so diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms. Symptoms include positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations, negative symptoms like lack of emotion and interest, and cognitive symptoms like memory and concentration problems. There are different types of schizophrenia including paranoid, disorganized, and residual.
Delusions
Delusions are beliefs that are firmly held but on inadequate grounds and are not affected by rational argument or evidence. They are not conventional beliefs for a person's cultural background and education level. Primary delusions occur suddenly without other abnormal mental events, while secondary delusions arise from previous abnormal ideas or experiences like hallucinations or mood disorders. Related phenomena include delusional moods, perceptions, and memories. Shared delusions between two people are called folie à deux. Common delusional themes include persecution, reference, grandeur, guilt, worthlessness, control of thoughts, and religious or sexual beliefs.
Ch12 notespsychdisorders(postversion2)
This document provides information on several mental disorders, including bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, somatoform disorders, dissociative disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative identity disorder, depersonalization disorder, schizophrenia, and their symptoms and prevalence. It discusses the genetic and environmental factors involved in several of these conditions. Key facts include that bipolar disorder involves mood swings from mania to depression, anxiety disorders range from normal anxiety to more severe forms, and schizophrenia causes distortions in thoughts, perceptions, and emotions.

It occurs in about 1% of the population worldwide, usually beginning between ages 16-25. Treatment involves antipsychotic medication to reduce positive symptoms, along with psychological and social supports.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
This document provides information about schizophrenia, a psychotic brain disorder. It defines schizophrenia and lists its common symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking. Positive symptoms add disturbances to personality, while negative symptoms reduce capabilities. Schizophrenia is caused by genetic and environmental factors and can be treated through medication, therapy, and social support programs, though there is no known cure. The document aims to educate by debunking common myths that those with schizophrenia are dangerous, treatment cannot help, or it refers to split personalities. With proper long-term treatment, many people with schizophrenia can function well.
Delusional Disorder
This document provides an overview of delusional disorder, including its definition, history, epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, types, clinical features, differential diagnosis, course, prognosis, and treatment. Delusional disorder involves non-bizarre delusions without hallucinations or other symptoms of schizophrenia. It has a prevalence of about 0.03% and typically onset in middle age. The cause is unknown but may involve biological and psychosocial factors. Treatment involves antipsychotic medication, psychotherapy, and sometimes hospitalization. Prognosis is generally stable but depends on factors like age of onset and delusional type.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and imagination. It develops slowly over months or years with symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thinking. Schizophrenia affects about 1% of the population and has no single cause but can be due to heredity, birth complications, or brain chemistry issues. Successful treatment requires lifelong medication combined with therapy to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.

It provides background on the syndrome, including that it was first described in 1760 and affects 10-15% of low vision patients. The document outlines the characteristics and types of hallucinations experienced, risk factors, potential causes including sensory deprivation, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, typical course, and recommendations for management including education, reassurance, and lifestyle modifications.
Alcoholism
This document discusses alcoholism, including its signs, effects on the body and relationships, statistics, and treatment. It notes that alcohol is a psychoactive depressant that can impair brain function. The signs of alcoholism progress from new characteristics and mood swings in the first 1-5 years, to loss of interests and criticism in 5-10 years, to impaired memory and intelligence in 10-20 years. Alcoholism during pregnancy can cause birth defects, preterm birth, stillbirth, and intellectual disabilities. Parental alcoholism is linked to failure in school and feelings of being different. Russian statistics show high rates of alcohol deaths, abuse, fetal alcohol effects, and crimes committed under the influence of alcohol. Treatment involves detox
Hallucinations_-dr Hareesh Krishnan
This document defines and classifies hallucinations, which are false sensory perceptions that occur without external stimuli. Hallucinations are categorized by sensory modality (auditory, visual, etc.), complexity, organization, and reality value. Neuroimaging research has found that auditory hallucinations are associated with reduced grey matter in language processing areas of the brain and altered connectivity between these areas and regions involved in control. Current models propose that hallucinations result from overactivity in sensory processing regions combined with weakened top-down control.

Dementia
Organic brain disorders are behavioral or psychological disorders associated with transient or permanent brain dysfunction. This document discusses organic mental disorders including various types of dementia like Alzheimer's disease. It describes the classification, symptoms, stages, diagnosis and management of dementia. Dementia is characterized by global cognitive impairment without impaired consciousness. The incidence increases with age from 0.1% below 60 years to 15-20% for those over 80 years. Management involves both medical treatment to relieve symptoms as well as psychological and nursing care to support daily living.
Understanding alzheimer
There are approximately 5.3 million Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia currently. This represents 14% of those over 71 and over 50% of those over 85. The most common form is Alzheimer's disease, which causes brain changes resulting in memory loss, thinking impairment, and behavioral changes. While aging increases risk, Alzheimer's is not normal aging, and other conditions like strokes can also cause dementia.
Chapter 7 (revised)
The document summarizes key aspects of neurocognitive disorders as outlined in Chapter 7. It describes three main groups - delirium, major or minor neurocognitive disorders (dementia), and amnestic disorders. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can have various causes and usually resolves quickly if the underlying cause is treated. Dementia involves a gradual loss of cognitive abilities that impairs daily life; it has various causes like Alzheimer's disease or vascular issues. Assessment and management aim to address any underlying causes or provide support, as the condition is often not reversible.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer. It is the most common form of dementia. Early symptoms are often mistaken for normal aging, but as it progresses, it can cause confusion, mood and behavior changes, problems with language, and long-term memory loss. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, though some drugs can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms. The cause involves plaques and tangles that disrupt communication between brain cells and lead to brain cell death.
Dementia and alzheimer's for Gero
Dementia is a general term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and results in progressive loss of memory, thinking, and language skills. The first case of Alzheimer's was identified in 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in a patient with an unusual brain disorder.
Organic Mental Disorders
This document provides an overview of organic brain disorders including the definition, clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, and management. Some key points:
- Organic brain disorders are caused by primary brain pathology or secondary brain dysfunction due to systemic disease. Common causes include neurodegenerative disorders, vascular disorders, infections, tumors, and toxic/metabolic disorders.
- Delirium is characterized by acute onset of confusion and impaired consciousness. Dementia is a chronic disorder characterized by cognitive decline over months to years. Organic amnestic syndrome specifically involves memory impairment.
- Evaluation involves medical history, physical/neuro exam, and lab/imaging tests to identify underlying causes. Treatment focuses on correcting any reversible causes as
Alzheimers 101for families
This document provides information about Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It discusses key facts such as prevalence, causes, stages of Alzheimer's, and effects on the brain. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of irreversible dementia. It progresses through early, middle, and late stages as brain cells deteriorate. Providing a predictable routine, adapted activities, and positive communication can help reduce fear and confusion for those with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Dementia
Dementia is a syndrome caused by brain diseases that affect memory, thinking, behavior and ability to perform everyday activities. Common symptoms include memory loss, confusion, difficulty completing tasks and changes in mood and behavior. It has different causes but is most commonly due to Alzheimer's disease. There is currently no cure for dementia but medications and lifestyle interventions can help manage symptoms.
Dementia
Dementia is the steady deterioration of cognitive abilities such as memory, reasoning, and judgment, caused by damage to brain cells. Symptoms include memory loss, problems communicating, impaired motor skills, and inability to learn new information. The risk of dementia increases significantly with age after 65. While the causes may differ, the end result is often damage to brain cells. There is no cure for dementia, but treatments can help slow its progression. The two main types are those with continuous deterioration over months or years, and those with progressive deterioration in stages.
Dementia
The document discusses cognitive disorders and different types and stages of dementia. It defines cognition and lists different cognitive domains. It then summarizes classification systems for cognitive disorders from DSM-IV, DSM-5, and ICD-10. The stages of cognitive decline are discussed, from subjective cognitive impairment to mild cognitive impairment to dementia. The main types and causes of dementia are outlined. Assessment, risk factors, features and differentiation of different dementias like Alzheimer's and vascular dementia are summarized.
Alzheimers disease and other dementias
Dementias are acquired cognitive impairments that affect memory, language, visuospatial ability, and other mental functions, impairing daily living. The most common type is Alzheimer's disease, which results from neuronal disruption and loss. A thorough evaluation involves assessing onset and progression of symptoms, neuropsychiatric features, physical exam including brief cognitive tests, and ruling out other treatable causes. The leading cause is Alzheimer's disease, whose risk increases dramatically with age and involves memory loss and other cognitive deficits that gradually worsen over years.

Alzheimer disease
This presentation summarizes Alzheimer's disease. It defines Alzheimer's as the most common form of dementia that occurs in the brain. The key points covered are that Alzheimer's causes nerve cell deterioration and death in the brain, leading to problems with brain function. Symptoms include memory loss, difficulty performing tasks, and mood changes. The disease progresses through 7 stages, from normal aging to severe impairment. Currently there is no cure, but drugs can help treat symptoms like memory problems, anxiety, and agitation. The presentation provided an overview of the causes, effects, symptoms and stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
