Social perception
This document discusses several key concepts in social perception:
1. Nonverbal communication plays an important role in social perception. Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, posture, and touching can all reveal emotional and mental states. Basic emotions are often expressed through specific facial movements.
2. Attribution refers to how people seek to understand the behaviors of others by inferring underlying traits or motives. Correspondent inference theory holds that behaviors perceived as freely chosen and distinctive are more likely to be attributed to internal traits. Kelley's theory examines how attribution is influenced by consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness.
3. Impression formation is the process by which people combine diverse information to form unified impressions of others. Initial

Cluster A personality disorders include paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders. They are characterized by odd, aloof features. Paranoid personality disorder involves pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. Schizoid personality disorder involves detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotions. Schizotypal personality disorder involves acute discomfort with and reduced capacity for close relationships as well as cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior. Genetic and biological factors may contribute to the development of these disorders. Psychotherapy is the primary treatment approach.

Personality disorders
Personality disorders are characterized by inflexible and maladaptive patterns of behavior that cause distress or impairment. Schizotypal personality disorder is one of the cluster A personality disorders and is characterized by odd or eccentric behaviors and thoughts resembling schizophrenia. It has a prevalence of 1-2% and features include ideas of reference, odd beliefs, unusual perceptions, odd speech and behavior, suspiciousness, social anxiety, and lack of close friends. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy but response is often poor as patients may not seek treatment.
Avoidant Personality Disorder
This document provides information on avoidant personality disorder (APD), including its definition, core features, symptoms, causes, prevalence, comorbidities, and treatment options. APD is characterized by extreme social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and sensitivity to criticism or rejection. Symptoms include avoiding occupational and social activities, unwillingness to get close to people, and being preoccupied with feelings of inhibition. While the exact causes are unknown, genetic and environmental factors may play a role. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy like interpersonal therapy as well as antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication.
Theory Of Learning (Psychology)
This document provides an overview of several theories of learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. Classical conditioning refers to learning associations between stimuli and responses, as demonstrated by Pavlov's dogs learning to salivate to a tone that was paired with food. Operant conditioning refers to learning through reinforcement and punishment of behaviors, as studied by Thorndike and Skinner. Observational learning occurs when observing the behaviors of others, as shown by Bandura's Bobo doll experiment. The document also discusses insight learning, latent learning, and different reinforcement schedules used to shape behaviors.
Disorders of thought
This document summarizes various disorders of thought and intelligence. It discusses disorders like flight of ideas, slowing of thinking, circumstantiality, perseveration, thought blocking, obsessions and compulsions, thought alienation, and different types of delusions. It describes how intelligence is measured and different levels of intellectual disability. It also outlines various ways of classifying disorders of thinking, such as disorders of stream of thought, possession of thought, content of thought, and form of thought.

Psychodiagnostic technique[1]
This document discusses psychodiagnostics, which involves using psychological assessment techniques to evaluate personality and diagnose mental disorders. The aims of psychodiagnostic techniques include answering diagnostic questions, ascertaining difficulties, making predictions about behavior, and measuring cognitive abilities. Common types of psychodiagnostic tests include intelligence tests, projective techniques like Rorschach tests, and personality assessments. The process of clinical assessment involves planning assessments, collecting data through interviews, tests, observations, and records, processing and interpreting the data, and communicating findings in a psychological report.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a group of severe brain disorders in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking and behaviour.
Contrary to some popular belief, schizophrenia is not split personality or multiple personality. The word “schizophrenia” does mean “split mind,” but it refers to a disruption of the usual balance of emotions and thinking (Mayo, 2013).
Schizophrenia is a chronic condition, requiring lifelong treatment.

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.
Pain disorder
This document discusses pain disorder and hypochondriasis. Pain disorder is classified as a mental disorder because psychological factors play an important role in pain. It can cause negative cognition, inactivity, increased pain, insomnia, disrupted relationships, and depression/anxiety. Treatment includes antidepressants, analgesics, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Hypochondriasis is excessive worry about illness despite medical reassurance. It affects men and women equally and commonly appears in people aged 20-30. Treatment focuses on cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, and stress management. Pharmacotherapy may help if an underlying condition is present. Both disorders can cause relationship, work, and financial problems if left untreated.
Paranoid personality disorder
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. Individuals with this disorder tend to interpret others' actions as threatening and hold grudges. They are highly sensitive and believe that others are out to harm them. The disorder is defined by traits such as suspiciousness, tendency to bear grudges, belief that others' actions are hostile, and preoccupation with unsubstantiated conspiracies. It has been described since the 19th century and is currently defined by diagnostic criteria involving suspiciousness and distorted beliefs about others' intentions.
Psychosis and neurosis.2

It also describes features of mental illness, classifications of mental disorders, and the roles of professionals on the mental health team.
Organic brain syndrome
This document discusses organic mental disorders, which are caused by pathological conditions affecting the brain. There are two major categories - cognitive disorders like delirium and dementia, and mental disorders secondary to medical conditions. Delirium is an acute reversible state characterized by disturbed consciousness and cognition. Dementia is a chronic progressive syndrome with multiple cognitive defects like memory impairment. Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia are common types of dementia. Organic mental disorders have various causes including head trauma, infections, tumors, metabolic disorders, and toxins.
Lesson 2 when mind get sick
Mental illness is an emotional disturbance that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, making it difficult to live a normal life. It can be caused by organic factors like physical illnesses or injuries affecting the brain, or functional factors like environmental conditions or poor coping skills. There are several types of mental disorders, including affective disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders, somatoform disorders, and schizophrenia. Schizophrenia involves a split from logical thought processes that can result in unusual behaviors and withdrawing from reality, with one type being paranoid schizophrenia where the individual has delusions of persecution or grandeur.

Esquizofrenia y depresion
This document discusses depression and schizophrenia. It defines depression as a mood disorder characterized by feelings of depression, unhappiness, and guilt that causes inability to enjoy life. It identifies major types of depression and notes that depression often coexists with other illnesses like anxiety disorders. The causes of depression are said to be genetic, biochemical, and psychological factors that result in differences in brain structure and chemistry. The document then defines schizophrenia as a disorder that impairs thinking, emotions, and social interactions. It identifies genetic and environmental factors as potential causes and lists common symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thinking. Finally, it outlines some subtypes of schizophrenia characterized by different symptoms.
Schizophrenia
Gray matter loss in the brain of those with schizophrenia is due to psychotic episodes rather than medications. Evidence shows around a 5-7% shrinkage of gray matter, particularly in areas involved in memory storage and retrieval. While some studies suggest 1% of shrinkage may be due to medications, new evidence indicates brain changes are part of the natural progression of the disorder rather than a side effect of treatment. Neuroinflammation may be a process that causes individuals to transition from an at-risk state into full-blown psychosis.

This document provides information on mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder. It discusses the characteristics and prevalence of depression, including symptoms such as lowered mood, sleep disturbances, and weight loss. Mania is described as involving overactivity, mood changes, and self-important ideas. The document outlines various classifications of depressive and bipolar disorders. It also discusses the epidemiology, causes, assessment, and management of depression and bipolar disorder.
Depression psychiatry
Depression is a common mental disorder characterized by depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, and poor concentration. There are several types of depression including major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Symptoms include feelings of sadness, changes in appetite and sleep, fatigue, anxiety, and thoughts of death or suicide. Depression is caused by genetic, environmental, biochemical and physiological factors and can be effectively treated with antidepressant medication, psychotherapy like CBT or IPT, and lifestyle changes to reduce stress and improve sleep and social support.
Depression, schizophrenia, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Depression is a common mood disorder that causes severe symptoms affecting feelings, thoughts and daily activities. Symptoms must last at least two weeks to be diagnosed. It has various forms that may develop under unique circumstances. Treatment involves support, psychotherapy like CBT, and antidepressant drugs. Schizophrenia is a disorder characterized by abnormal behavior and confused thinking. Symptoms typically begin in young adulthood and may never resolve. It involves positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions as well as negative and cognitive symptoms. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and involves memory loss and problems with language and reasoning. It gets progressively worse over time.
Mental disorders ppt
Mental disorders are real illnesses that can affect a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors, preventing them from living a happy, healthy life. Throughout history, mental illness has been stigmatized as being caused by demons or personal weakness. Today, though our understanding of mental disorders has increased, some stigma still remains. This stigma can negatively impact people's access to insurance, housing, jobs and treatment. It is important to understand that mental disorders are treatable medical conditions, and that understanding builds compassion for those suffering from them. Common mental disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
