This document discusses various mental health issues including categories like developmental, behavioral, and clinical disorders. It provides an overview of autism spectrum disorder including diagnostic criteria and treatments. Nursing interventions are outlined for several disorders including establishing trust and communication. Etiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment approaches are summarized for conditions such as ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, and suicide risk.
The document summarizes the impact of developmental trauma on children's brain development and behavior. It discusses how adverse childhood experiences can dysregulate different parts of the brain, including the brain stem, diencephalon, and limbic system. When these areas are chronically dysregulated, it can lead to behaviors like emotional volatility, poor ability to learn from experiences, depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal in children. The document also discusses how childhood trauma is associated with increased risks of health problems, mental illness, smoking, alcoholism and drug use in adulthood.

This is a presentation that presents the nature of traumagenic family dynamics and how those dynamics support the inter-generational transmission of trauma and addictions
This document discusses emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in children. It defines EBD and provides classifications of internalizing versus externalizing behaviors. Common types of EBD are described such as anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, conduct disorder, and eating disorders. Causes, characteristics, diagnosis, assessment, prevalence and management strategies are outlined. Behavioral and academic issues associated with EBD are also summarized.
The document discusses several theories of emotional and behavioral disorders from a psychoneurological perspective:
1) Congenital, biochemical, and acquired theories examine biological factors such as genetic disorders, prenatal/perinatal events, biochemistry, and physical brain damage.
2) Psychodynamic theory studies unconscious motivations and the interplay between unconscious and conscious processes. Freud's theories of id, ego, superego and psychosexual stages are described.
3) Erikson's psychosocial theory proposes eight stages of social and identity development influenced by social/environmental factors.
a basic introduction to emotional and behavioral disorders as well as the roles of Social Workers on how to deal with various emotional and behavioral disorder
Emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are defined by the IDEiA as having difficulties with learning, relationships, behavior, mood, and physical symptoms without clear medical causes. Students with EBD often lack control over motivation, have issues with concentration, hyperactivity, aggression, and immaturity. While causes are not fully known, factors may include heredity, brain disorders, family issues, and poverty increases risk. EBD has a prevalence of 2% in schools and the highest dropout rate. Treatment focuses on providing structure, positive reinforcement, exercise, and music therapy to help reduce problematic behaviors and increase engagement in school. Collaboration between families, schools, and community services is important for intervention.
This document discusses emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in children. It defines EBD and notes that approximately 3-6% of school children are affected. Children with EBD often exhibit social and adaptive behavior issues like defiance, disruption, and aggression. They also commonly struggle academically and have high dropout rates. The causes of EBD are multifactorial, involving family, socioeconomic status, and potential child abuse. Assessment and treatment involve screening, functional behavior assessments, behavior intervention plans, and multidisciplinary collaboration using approaches like positive behavioral support.

This document discusses emotional disturbances and their impacts. It defines emotional disturbance and lists some key characteristics. It then discusses the prevalence of emotional disturbances in children and adults. Some key causes are biological factors, environmental stressors, family dynamics, and cultural influences. The document outlines several impacts of emotional disturbances on curriculum learning, social behavior, and independent functioning. It also discusses conditions like hyperactivity, juvenile delinquency, self-injurious behavior, and suicidal risk. Prevention of suicide is mentioned.
The document discusses emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). It describes how Eli Mike Bower first developed the term "emotional disturbance" in the 1960s while researching students who needed services for severe emotional and behavioral problems. It then provides characteristics and examples of different types of EBDs like adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and others. Finally, it suggests that people with EBDs need a comfortable supportive environment and highlights World Mental Health Day and its goal of raising awareness about mental illness.
This document provides information on conduct disorders and oppositional defiant disorder in children. It discusses the ICD classifications, definitions, symptoms, causes, and treatment approaches for each condition. Conduct disorders involve repetitive violations of others' rights and societal rules through behaviors like aggression, destruction of property, deceitfulness, and rule breaking. Oppositional defiant disorder involves a pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures. Treatment for both conditions focuses on parenting skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy, social skills training, and in some cases medication.
EBD Characteristics of children and youth with ebd –emotional & behavioral di...artic_fox
Children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) often have difficulties with social skills and relationships. They may engage in anti-social behaviors like violating rules and laws. Additionally, they can display oppositional defiant disorder by arguing with authority figures and refusing requests. These students may externalize behaviors through rule-breaking or internalize issues by withdrawing. They are also at risk for aggressive, violent, or delinquent behaviors. Proper identification and assessment of behaviors is important to determine the appropriate support and interventions needed.
This document provides information about behavioral disorders, including definitions and classifications from sources like IDEA and the DSM-IV. It describes characteristics of different types of behavioral disorders such as internalizing disorders (anxiety, withdrawal) and externalizing disorders (conduct disorders, attention problems). Causes can include biological and environmental factors. Students with behavioral disorders often have lower academic achievement and social skills deficits. Teachers are encouraged to use positive behavior management strategies like clearly defining expectations, setting consistent rules, and implementing preventive discipline programs to address behavioral issues in the classroom.
Behavioral disorders are commonly diagnosed in children and can negatively impact one's ability to maintain relationships and employment if left untreated. They include conditions like anxiety disorders, ADHD, dissociative disorders, emotional disorders, and pervasive developmental disorders like autism. ADHD is characterized by an inability to focus and control impulsive behaviors. It is more commonly diagnosed in boys than girls. While behavioral disorders mainly present with emotional symptoms like anger and frustration, they can also lead to physical issues like substance abuse problems. Treatment options include medication and therapy, though medication alone is not a cure and symptoms may still persist into adulthood.
Child abuse both physical and sexual has been increasing all over the world. I think this is mainly because parents with young children are isolated and are finding it hard to cope on their own.
Political and media hype has resulted in doctors and other agencies involved in the care of children ignoring or not trained to recognise early signs. This often result is prolonged agony and may result in tragic consequence.
When these neglected children grow -up and decide to go on a rampage killing innocent people, the leaders and media use the opportunity to promote themselves and criticise the offender.
I have personally experienced the difficulties of defending my ethical duty and know how difficult this can be to stand alone and defend the care of a helpless children. I have published this slide presentation to teach every responsible adult to help protect the life of innocent children.
Let us stop breeding monsters and create a world filled with joy and laughter of happy children.
Conduct Disorder in Childhood and Adolescence- A Literature ReviewJordyn Williams
This document provides an overview of Conduct Disorder in children and adolescents. It discusses the key features and diagnostic criteria for Conduct Disorder according to the DSM-5. It also examines the development of Conduct Disorder from early childhood through adolescence, common comorbidities, assessment techniques, implications for families, and prevention/intervention strategies. Conduct Disorder is characterized by aggressive and rule-breaking behavior that violates the rights of others. Left untreated, it can lead to academic, social, and legal issues.
This document discusses conduct disorder, which is a repetitive pattern of behavior in which a child or adolescent violates the rights of others or social norms. There are two subtypes based on age of onset - childhood onset before age 10 which is more common in boys and associated with aggression, and adolescent onset after age 10 which is less aggressive. Risk factors include genetic, biological, psychosocial, and environmental factors. Symptoms involve aggression, defiance, lying, cruelty, theft, and truancy. Treatment involves pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, parental guidance, behavior modification, and potentially juvenile justice involvement. Nursing diagnoses related to conduct disorder include risk for violence, impaired social interactions, defensive coping, and low self-esteem.
The document provides an overview of the clinical assessment of children with psychiatric disturbances. It discusses domains of evaluation including development, cognitive and academic development, family relationships, peer relationships, and temperament. Specific assessment methods like play techniques, projective techniques, and direct questioning are described. Tools used in assessment include rating scales, diagnostic interviews, and pictorial assessments. The document also outlines components of the mental status examination and potential laboratory investigations in the diagnostic formulation and evaluation of children.
children with emotional and behavioral disordersMia de Guzman
The document discusses children with emotional and behavioral disorders. It begins by classifying these disorders into four categories according to IDEA: conduct disorders, anxiety-withdrawal, immaturity, and socialized aggression. It then discusses several possible causes of these disorders including biological, psychoanalytical, behavioral, phenomenological, and sociological/ecological factors. Finally, it outlines the main types of disorders according to the DSM including conduct disorder, emotional disturbance, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. Each type is then described in more detail with examples of symptoms.
Child abuse can take several forms including physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. Neglect, which involves failing to provide for a child's basic needs, is the most commonly reported form of abuse. Physical abuse causes harm through actions like punching, beating, or kicking. Sexual abuse involves exposing a child to sexual situations or contact and often occurs within the family. Emotional abuse can severely damage mental health through belittling, shaming, or rejecting the child. All forms of abuse and neglect can have lasting psychological impacts.
The document discusses several mental health and developmental disorders including autism, ADHD, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, separation anxiety disorder, tic disorders, elimination disorders, eating disorders, and alcohol hallucinosis. It provides information on signs and symptoms, causes, classifications, treatment and nursing care for each condition.
The document defines child abuse as any non-accidental physical injury or harm inflicted on a child by a caregiver. It discusses the different types of child abuse including physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. It outlines the components, consequences, laws related to child abuse and concludes that parents should discipline children with patience instead of violence and listen to children carefully.
Child and adolescent psychiatry is the branch of psychiatry that specializes in the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of psychopathological disorders in children, adolescents and their families. It involves clinical investigation of the phenomenology, biologic factors, psychosocial factors and response to interventions of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders. The first academic child psychiatry department in the world was founded by Leo Kanner in Baltimore in 1933.
Conduct disorder is characterized by aggressive and violent behavior towards others. Children with conduct disorder often have poor relationships with peers and adults, violate rules and the rights of others. Left untreated, conduct disorder can lead to antisocial personality disorder in adulthood. It is caused by both biological and psychosocial factors such as early rejection, separation from parents, abuse, and poverty. Treatment involves behavioral therapy, parental training, medication if needed, and involvement of the juvenile justice system for monitoring and control.
Common behavioral and emotional problems in childrenIqra Aslam
Common behavioral and emotional problems in children include emotional and behavioral disorders, behavioral disorders, and eating disorders. Emotional and behavioral disorders are defined as an inability to build relationships, depression, and developing physical symptoms related to personal problems. Behavioral disorders involve a child not doing what adults want them to do. Eating disorders include pica, which is the repeated ingestion of non-nutritive substances. Causes of problems include biological factors, home and community environment, and characteristics include distorted thinking, anxiety, aggression, and withdrawal. Treatments involve medication, behavioral therapies, and improving parenting and environment.
Behavioral disorders in children can develop from a combination of genetic and environmental factors and cause problems with relationships, employment, and daily functioning if left untreated. The document discusses several behavioral disorders - disruptive behavior disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder. Symptoms and potential causes are provided for each. Treatment typically involves parenting and social skills training through therapy to modify behaviors and improve family relationships.

Conduct disorder is an ongoing pattern of behaviour marked by emotional and behavioural problems.
Ways in which Children with conduct disorder behave are
Angry,
Aggressive,
Argumentative, and
Disruptive ways.
It is a diagnosable mental health condition that is characterized by patterns of violating
Societal norms and
Rights of others
It's estimated that around 3% of school-aged children have conduct disorder and require professional treatment .
It is more common in boys than in girls.
Personality disorders assessment & treatmentRobert Rhoton
The document discusses personality disorders and their causes. It notes that personality disorders were previously attributed solely to internal deficits, but are now understood to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors like childhood trauma, abuse, and an unstable family environment can interrupt normal development and contribute to personality disorders. The document also describes different memory and cognitive systems in the brain and how they relate to stress responses and trauma.
Trauma can interfere with the development of healthy coping skills. This can prevent children from interacting in an appropriate way with peers, teachers, and family. Those that have been bullied can also become bullies because of the same principal.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a range of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by social and communication impairments and repetitive behaviors. The document provides an overview of ASDs, including epidemiology, core features, diagnostic criteria, and common comorbidities. It summarizes that ASDs are lifelong, though early intervention improves prognosis; prevalence is increasing globally; and impairments involve social interaction, communication, and rigid/repetitive behaviors appearing in the first 3 years.
This document discusses mental health problems in children. It begins by stating that around 1 in 10 children will experience some type of mental health problem before age 18. Mental health problems typically manifest in two age periods - ages 5-12 and ages 12-18 - and can affect children emotionally, cognitively, educationally, and behaviorally. Common problems for children include ADHD, conduct disorders, and disorders like Asperger's syndrome, while teenagers commonly experience depression, anxiety, self-harm, and eating disorders. The document goes on to discuss factors that can influence children's mental health, developmental milestones, types of mental health problems, recognizing problems, autism spectrum disorder, and supporting children with mental health issues.
Evaluating child with disruptive behaviourDr Wasim
This document discusses evaluating and understanding disruptive behavior in children. It begins by defining disruptive behavior and providing examples. It explains that some behaviors are developmentally normal for younger children but could become problematic depending on the child's age. Causes of disruptive behavior can be biological, psychological or social. The document provides guidance on when to seek professional help and lists disorders that can involve disruptive behaviors. It also outlines approaches to evaluating a child with disruptive behaviors.
Child/Adolescent assessment and treatmenttracymallett
The document discusses several topics related to counseling children and adolescents including:
- Common clinical disorders diagnosed in children and adolescents such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders.
- Factors that influence juvenile delinquency such as low intelligence, poor academic achievement, family dysfunction, and lack of basic needs.
- The importance of assessing suicide risk in children and adolescents by evaluating ideation, intent, plans, means, as well as demographic, psychological and environmental risk factors.
- The benefits of using a family support model for intervention which views the family as a system and builds on family strengths rather than focusing solely on the child's problems.
Behavioural disorders in children can take many forms and have various underlying causes. They are generally defined as extreme behaviours that differ significantly from social and cultural norms and negatively impact academic performance or relationships. Common types include conduct disorder, where a child exhibits aggressive or destructive behaviours; oppositional defiant disorder, where a child deliberately seeks to upset others through defiant behaviour; and anxiety/withdrawal, where a child is self-conscious and withdrawn. Treatment may involve cognitive behavioural therapy, medication, and treating any co-occurring conditions. It is important to understand each child's needs and implement structured environments and behaviour plans to help them succeed.
Steve Vitto Breaking Down The Walls With Attachment, Social Maladjustment And...Steve Vitto
This document discusses various conditions that can affect defiant or oppositional behavior in children, including attachment disorders, oppositional defiance disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, emotional impairment, anxiety disorders, and fetal alcohol syndrome. It provides information on the causes and characteristics of these conditions, challenges in diagnosing them, and strategies for working with children who exhibit related behaviors. The goal is to help understand these children's perspectives and needs in order to build connections and address behavioral issues constructively.
The document discusses several common childhood disorders:
- Learning disorders, motor skills disorders, communication disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, attention-deficit disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, feeding and eating disorders, tic disorders, and elimination disorders.
- It provides details on autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and common treatments for these conditions in children and adolescents.
- The summary highlights that stimulants are effective for ADHD, SSRIs for OCD, and risperidone for aggression in autism, while CBT is supported for depression, anxiety, and conduct problems.
Conduct disorder is a psychiatric condition characterized by persistent patterns of violating rules and social norms. It typically emerges in childhood or adolescence and is more common in boys. To be diagnosed, the behaviors must negatively impact the child's life and occur repeatedly. Common behaviors include aggression, destruction of property, deceit, and theft. Risk factors include genetic vulnerability, abuse, neglect, and brain damage. Treatment involves behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management, and parental training programs.
Child psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on behavioral, emotional, and developmental disorders in children and adolescents under age 18. It involves treating conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment disorders, schizophrenia, and effects of abuse or trauma. Child psychiatrists conduct evaluations of a patient's history, mental status, family relationships, and functioning at home and school to diagnose conditions and formulate treatment plans. Common approaches include medication management and therapies that are modified for children compared to adult patients. Childhood disorders have multiple contributing factors including genetics, temperament, medical issues, family dynamics, and environment.
This document provides an overview of mental health and mental illness. It discusses definitions of mental health from the WHO, components and indicators of good mental health, characteristics of mentally healthy people, and risk factors for mental illness. It also covers the biological foundations of mental health including the central nervous system, neurotransmitters, and the interaction between physical and mental health problems. Major theories of psychology and development are summarized, including Freud's psychosexual stages, Erikson's psychosocial theory, Piaget's cognitive development stages, and Sullivan's interpersonal theory. Common mental disorders, their impacts, and approaches to prevention and treatment are outlined. Key figures in the field like Freud and concepts such as defense mechanisms are explained.
Disruptive behavioral disorder & Anxiety disorder in childDr Slayer
-Is characterized by enduring pattern of NEGATIVISTIC, DISOBEDIENT and HOSTILE behavior toward authority figures as well as inability to take responsibility for mistakes, leading to placing blame on others.
-AGGRESSIONS and VIOLATIONS of the rights of the others
Violations include cruelty to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft and serious violation of rules
-Increased and INAPPROPRIATE ANXIETY around separation from attachment figures or home, which is developmentally abnormal and results in impaired normal functioning
Children's mental and emotional health issues can negatively impact their development in several key ways:
Physically, living with an undiagnosed illness can decrease children's desire or ability to be active and lead to poor diet and physical health over time. Socially and emotionally, children may experience a lack of motivation, risky behaviors, and difficulties with relationships. Cognitively, developmental delays or difficulties with language skills can interfere with normal cognitive development processes.
Effective treatment approaches depend on each individual child but may include medication management from psychiatrists, therapy from psychologists or social workers, and coping techniques tailored for their specific diagnoses like taking breaks for anxiety or using fidget toys for ADHD. Supporting healthy physical
Over 30,000 people die by suicide each year in the United States, making it the third leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. While women attempt suicide more frequently than men, men die by suicide more often, accounting for 70% of suicide deaths compared to 30% for women. Suicide rates are highest among white males across all age groups. The western states have higher suicide rates the further west you travel, with the "suicide belt" in the mountain states. Common methods include poisoning or overdose for female suicide attempts and more violent means for male suicide deaths. Those at highest risk tend to be single, divorced, white, male, Protestant or Jewish, and either very wealthy or very poor. Under
The document discusses sexual assault, including definitions of rape and statistics showing most victims know their assailant. Long term effects of sexual assault and incest can include depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Rape trauma syndrome involves an acute phase after the assault and a long term reorganization phase with potential intrusive thoughts, fears, and difficulties. Nurses must examine their own beliefs to provide empathetic care for survivors.
This document discusses eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. It covers theories of causation such as genetic, neurobiological, and sociocultural factors. Clinical presentations and assessments are described. Treatment involves stabilizing medical issues, milieu therapy, counseling, and long term psychotherapy and medication management. The goal is to establish healthy eating patterns and address underlying psychological issues.
The document provides statistics on substance use and abuse in the United States, noting that 28 million Americans over 12 years old use drugs or alcohol, with the highest rates among white males aged 18-25 with a high school education. Reasons for substance use include social and cultural factors, mental health issues, and genetics. The document also discusses signs of substance abuse and dependence based on DSM-IV criteria.
This document discusses key ethical and legal issues in nursing. It defines important terms like ethics, morals, values and rights. It outlines common ethical dilemmas nurses may face and principles to consider like autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. The document also discusses specific ethical issues in psychiatric nursing around refusing treatment, least restrictive interventions, and legal matters of confidentiality, informed consent, restraints and liability. Nurses are advised to focus on the patient's welfare, follow standards of care, thoroughly document, and develop trust with clients and families to avoid legal issues.
The document discusses several theories of human development proposed by prominent psychologists and theorists. It covers Freud's psychosexual stages of development from infancy through adolescence, focusing on the oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital stages. It also summarizes Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Erikson's psychosocial stages, Kohlberg's stages of moral development, and some key concepts from their theories like the id, ego and superego in Freud's model.
The document defines a crisis as a sudden, stressful event that disrupts homeostasis and usual coping mechanisms. It describes 4 phases of a crisis where usual coping fails, new resources are mobilized, and professional help is needed if not resolved. The goal of crisis intervention is resolution through support and restoration or adaptation. Assessment involves safety, biological, psychological, and social factors. The plan aims to preserve autonomy or restore functioning. Interventions include ensuring safety, reality orientation, problem solving, and identifying resources. Evaluation assesses if goals were met and evidence of growth.
This document provides an overview of anxiety, its causes and types, anxiety disorders, and somatoform and dissociative disorders. It defines anxiety and differentiates it from fear. It describes the categories of anxiety including normal, acute, and chronic anxiety. It also outlines the different types of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance-induced anxiety. The document further discusses somatoform disorders, dissociative disorders, assessments, interventions, medications, and treatments for these conditions.
The document discusses the prevalence and types of family violence including intimate partner violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. It provides statistics on the high rates of violence against women and children, the cycle of violence, and effects on victims. Recommendations are given for nurses to properly assess, diagnose, and intervene in situations of family violence.
Schizophrenia is a devastating psychotic disorder characterized by positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as well as negative symptoms that impact social and occupational functioning. It typically emerges in late adolescence/early adulthood and follows a chronic course with different phases. Treatment involves antipsychotic medication and psychosocial interventions to manage symptoms and maximize functioning.
Personality disorders are characterized by inflexible and maladaptive responses to stress that cause disability in relationships and work. They affect 10-15% of the population and often co-occur with other disorders. Personality disorders have both biological and psychosocial factors, including genetics and learned behaviors. They are assessed through history and testing, and can overwhelm caregivers with clients' needs. The disorders are grouped into three clusters based on characteristics: odd/eccentric, dramatic/emotional, or anxious/fearful. Treatment focuses on milieu therapy, medications, case management, and advanced therapies like dialectical behavior therapy.
Here are some key points I would focus on in discussing this case:
- Ensure safety first by removing any dangerous items and closely monitoring for risk of self-harm or violence
- Explain the diagnosis in simple terms and emphasize it is a biological brain disorder, not the client's fault
- Discuss treatment plan including medications, importance of compliance, and managing side effects
- Provide education on triggers, warning signs of mood changes, healthy coping strategies
- Refer to support groups to help client and family understand the illness and not feel alone
- Screen for substance use as common with bipolar disorder and address as a treatment priority
- Set limits on any manipulative behaviors while also validating the client's experience with empathy
- Develop
The document discusses various types of depression including major depressive disorder, dysthymia, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and seasonal affective disorder. It covers symptoms, screening tools, treatment options such as antidepressant medications and therapy, and factors that influence depression. Safety concerns like suicide risk are also addressed.
The document defines a crisis as a sudden, stressful event that disrupts homeostasis and usual coping mechanisms. It describes 4 phases of a crisis where usual coping fails, new resources are mobilized, and without resolution could lead to disorganized thoughts or psychosis. The goal of crisis intervention is quick resolution through support and restoration or adaptation. Assessment examines perceptions, stressors, coping mechanisms and bio-psycho-social status. The plan aims to preserve autonomy or maximize functioning. Interventions focus on safety, orientation, problem-solving and establishing boundaries. Evaluation assesses if goals were met and identifies growth or future coping strategies.
The document provides statistics on substance use and abuse in the United States, noting that 28 million Americans over 12 use drugs or alcohol, 17 million abuse substances, and the highest prevalence is among white males aged 18-25 with a high school education. Reasons for substance use include social and cultural factors, mental health issues, and genetics, while harms include health, legal, and social consequences. Assessment and treatment of substance use disorders involves evaluating physiological, psychological, and social aspects to develop an appropriate plan.
Psychobiology and psychotropic drugs order 4rfranquiz1
This document discusses the biological basis of psychotropic drugs by reviewing brain anatomy and neurotransmitter functions. It explains that drugs target specific neurotransmitters to treat disorders like depression (targeting serotonin), bipolar disorder (targeting dopamine and norepinephrine), schizophrenia (targeting dopamine), and anxiety (targeting GABA). It provides examples of common drug classes and medications used to treat each condition, along with their mechanisms of action and side effect profiles. The goal of psychotropic drugs is to relieve mental disturbances without inducing untoward side effects.
