This document provides an overview of psychopathology and the history of defining mental health and illness. It discusses how abnormal behavior and psychology have been defined. Throughout history, mental illness was often attributed to supernatural causes like demon possession. Hippocrates first proposed a biological explanation for abnormal behaviors and thinking. The rise of hospitals and more humane treatment methods occurred in the 18th-19th centuries. Defining mental health and illness remains difficult due to variability between individuals and cultures. Studying psychopathology is important for various mental health professionals to better understand and treat disorders.
The historical development of Abnormal Psychology or Psychopathology is worth studying. The progressive as well as conservative steps have contributed to a balanced view of abnormal behavior.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), offers a common language and standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders.
Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to properly adapt to stress and adversity. Stress and adversity can come in the shape of family or relationship problems, health problems, or workplace and financial worries, among others.
Eating disorders are psychological illnesses defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health.
Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring maldaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience, exhibited across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the individual's culture.
Sexual dysfunction or sexual malfunction is difficulty experienced by an individual or a couple during any stage of a normal sexual activity, including physical pleasure, desire, preference, arousal or orgasm.It requires a person to feel extreme distress and interpersonal strain for a minimum of 6 months.
A sleep disorder is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental, social and emotional functioning.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
2. Definitions
• Abnormal behavior: deviation from what is
considered normal.
• Abnormal psychology: scientific study whose
objectives are to describe, explain, predict,
and control behaviors that are considered
unusual or strange.
3. Mental Disorders
• It is any organic, mental, or emotional impairment,
including those induced by alcoholism or drug
abuse. It has substantial adverse effects on
cognitive, behavior, or emotional functioning
(Murray, 1987 P:632).
• The diagnosis of mental illness should help the
mental health professionals in understanding the
illness and symptoms and in planning care for
individual clients. The problem of defining a person
as mentally ill lies in the issue of labeling. Labeling
stigmatizes the person in the society, which has
negative implication.
4. Meaning of mental health and illness
• Although the term “mental health” and
“mental illness” are widely used in literature,
they have not been clearly defined.
• In general, mental health is used to mean an
optimum level of psychosocial functioning;
“mental illness” refers to some level of
deviation from such state.
5. Mental Health
• Peplau (1952) has defined mental health as: A term
which implies forward movement personality and
other ongoing processes in the direction of creative,
constructive, productive personal and community
living.
• Murray (1987) defines mental health as, “ a growth
toward maturity in which the individual is able to
achieve the capacity to love rather than remains in a
state of helplessness with the need for love” (P:240).
• WHO definition of Mental Health: it is the full and
harmonious functioning of the whole personality.
6. Mental Health
• American psychiatric association defines mental
health as:
• Simultaneous success at working, loving and creating
with the capacity for mature and flexible resolution
of conflicts between instincts, conscience, other
people& reality.
• Comprehensive definition:
• Mental health is defined as “A state of psychological
well-being and satisfactory adjustment to society and
daily life demands”. This doesn't mean a complete
freedom from stress, frustration, and conflicts.
7. Mental Illness
• American psychiatric association define
mental illness as:
• An illness with psychological, behavioral
manifestation and impairment in functioning.
It is due to a social, psychological, genetic,
physical, chemical or biological disturbances.
8. Mental Illness
• Mental illness may be defined as:
• Psychosocial response to stress that interfere
with or inhibit a persons ability to comfortably
or affectively meet human needs and function
within a culture according to Kolb (1974).
9. The problem of defining mental health
and mental illness
• There is variety of disordered areas in the
patient. The disorder may be present in the
behavior, affect, thinking or all of these.
• Health is not a scientific term and it is difficult
to measure it “Health” an “Illness” relate to
very general, nonspecific characteristics of an
individual or a group or class of a population.
10. The problem of defining mental health
and mental illness
• It is difficult to apply concepts of health and
illness to human behavior and to the complex
way of human feeling and thinking.
• There are cultural differences between people
which makes it very complicated to judge
others mental state, by using our values or
standards.
11. Psychopathology
• As a term, it is a word which denotes behaviors or
experiences that indicate the presence of mental
illness, even if it doesn’t constitute a formal
diagnosis.
• For instant, if a person has depressed mood or
hallucination, it is considered as a
psychopathological sign even if other symptoms are
weak or not present to fulfill the criteria for one of
he disorders in the DSM. The boundaries between
mental and physical disorders are equally
problematic.
12. History of psychopathology
• Prehistoric and ancient beliefs: early
demonology: evil or spirit dwell within
persons and control their body and mind
(demonology) behaviors outside individual
control, supernatural causes.
• Treatment: exorcism: elaborate prayers,
noisemaking, starvation to cast the evil spirit
out.
13. Early biological explanation
• Naturalistic explanation: in 5th century,
Hippocrates (father of modern medicine)
separated medicine from religion, magic and
superstition.
• Abnormal thinking or behaviors are indication
of brain pathology and physical problems
disturbs thought and actions.
• Heredity and environment play important
role.
14. Early biological explanation
• Physician is the healer of mental illnesses.
• Classified mental illnesses: mania,
melancholia, and phrenitis (brain fever).
• Treatment: melancholia: care in choosing diet,
exercise, abstinence from sex.
15. Dark ages and demonology
• Churches gained in influences and Christian
monasteries replaced physician as healer of
mental illnesses.
• Illness is perceived as punishment for sin.
• Monks cared for sick by praying over them or
touching them with relics (things from past).
• Patients were roamed the countryside and
return to belief in supernatural causes.
16. • Witchcraft (15-17th centuries): the church was
challenged by the social and religious reforms so it
claimed that Satan fostered these attack and should
killed each person has red spot, club foot, cleft
palate. Mentally ill patients were seen as witches.
• The rise of humanism (renaissance): which
emphasizes human welfare, worth and uniqueness
of the person. Few mental hospital were
established.
• Medical treatment (18-19th century) Pinels reform:
French physician, primary of humanitarian
treatment of mentally ill, light and airy rooms,
discharge pt from hospital, but humanitarian
treatment was offered for upper class.
17. • Hospitals established in Europe and Britain
small, private:
• York Retreat (1796, UK): provide pts with
religious and quiet atmosphere to live and
work.
• Moral treatment is provided: pt engaged in
purposeful activity, live close to normal, took
responsibilities for themselves.
• Drugs were the most common and the
outcomes were not favorable (less than 1/3
discharged).
18. Who needs to study psychopathology?
• Psychiatrists who are particularly interested in descriptive
psychopathology, which aims at describing the symptoms of
mental disorder. This is done either for diagnosis or treatment
purposes.
• Psychologists.
• Psychiatric nurses.
• Psychiatric social worker.
• Mental health practitioner and experts.
• Counselors and therapists.
• Neurologists.
• Occupational therapists.
• Neurologists.
• Researchers who might conduct research to determine
epidemiology, prevalence, and evaluate treatment protocols.
