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.
Psychotic disorders
Psychotic disorders involve hallucinations and/or delusions where the person loses contact with reality. Schizophrenia is a type of psychosis characterized by disturbances in thought, emotion and behavior. It affects about 1% of the population and usually develops in early adulthood. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech and behavior. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications and psychosocial support. Prognosis depends on several factors but schizophrenia generally involves long-term impairment.
Classification of mental disorder
The document discusses the classification of mental disorders according to two major systems - ICD-10 and DSM-IV. ICD-10 is the World Health Organization's classification system that codes psychiatric disorders from F00 to F99. DSM-IV is the diagnostic manual published by the American Psychiatric Association that uses a multi-axial system with five axes to evaluate patients. Some key differences between the two systems are that ICD-10 is intended for clinical work, research, and primary care globally while DSM-IV is in English only and includes social consequences in its diagnostic criteria.
Somatization disorder
This document discusses somatization disorder, including its definition, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Somatization disorder involves a person experiencing physical symptoms that cannot be explained medically, and it affects their daily functioning. Treatment involves developing a trusting doctor-patient relationship, avoiding unnecessary medical tests, and utilizing psychotherapy and lifestyle changes like exercise to help manage stress and underlying mental health conditions. The prognosis is generally improved with a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
Delusions
Normal thinking involves goal-directed progression of ideas and associations leading to rational conclusions. Thought disorders involve errors in this process and can be categorized as disorders of form, progression, content, or possession. Delusions are a type of thought content disorder characterized by false beliefs that are firmly held despite evidence. Conrad proposed a 5-stage model of delusion development including mood changes, search for meaning, heightening of psychosis, formation of a new worldview, and eventual isolation. Delusions are classified based on origin, theme, mood congruence, reality value, and complexity. Common delusional themes include persecution, guilt, infidelity, grandeur, poverty, and somatic or religious beliefs. Case studies demonstrate delusional
Brief psychotic Disorder
This document provides an overview of brief psychotic disorder according to diagnostic criteria in the DSM-V. It describes the disorder as a short duration severe mental disorder involving impaired thoughts and emotions where contact with reality is lost. The document outlines the diagnostic criteria including presence of delusions, hallucinations or other specified psychotic symptoms for at least one day but less than one month, followed by a full return to normal functioning. It also discusses associated features, risk factors, differential diagnoses, cultural considerations and prevalence.
Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression. It is classified into Bipolar I and II based on the severity of manic episodes. The exact causes are unknown but genetic and biochemical factors are thought to play a role. Clinical features include changes in mood, energy, sleep patterns, and risk-taking behavior. Treatment involves mood stabilizers like lithium, antipsychotics, and antidepressants to control symptoms and prevent future episodes. Prognosis depends on factors like comorbidities, stress levels, and medication compliance.
Panic disorder
This document provides an overview of panic disorder (PD), including its definition, symptoms, risk factors, differences from panic attacks, causes, effects on schooling, outcomes, diagnostic criteria, reasons for hospitalization, conditions that mimic it, suicide rates, and treatment goals.

Schizoaffective dissorder
Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by symptoms of both schizophrenia and mood disorders like mania or depression. It affects a person's thoughts, emotions, and potentially their actions. It is considered a disorder of both the mind and emotions. Schizoaffective disorder can be of the bipolar, depressive, or mixed type depending on the symptoms present. Treatment involves medications like antipsychotics and mood stabilizers as well as psychotherapy and life skills training. Nursing care focuses on ensuring safety, promoting functioning, and supporting treatment compliance.
Schizophrenia & other psychotic disorder
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders involve positive, negative, and disorganized symptoms that distort thinking, perception, and behavior. Schizophrenia is a chronic condition defined by fundamental distortions in thought, perception, emotion, and behavior. It affects about 1% of the population and typically emerges in early adulthood. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications to reduce positive symptoms as well as psychosocial support. The causes are complex and involve genetic, neurological, developmental, and environmental factors.

Mood disorder
Mood disorders involve disturbances in mood that are accompanied by related cognitive, physical, and interpersonal difficulties. They include conditions like bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of mania and depression, while major depressive disorder involves recurrent episodes of depression without mania. Mood disorders have biological, genetic, neurological, and psychosocial causes. They are diagnosed based on symptoms and treated with medications, psychotherapy, and electroconvulsive therapy with the goal of managing mood disturbances and related issues. Nursing care focuses on safety, treatment adherence, symptom monitoring, and education.
GENERALISED ANXIETY DISORDER
The document summarizes a seminar on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behaviors. It is marked by psychosis like delusions and hallucinations. The exact causes are unknown but genetics and brain chemistry imbalances are thought to play a role. Diagnosis involves symptoms lasting at least six months including two or more of delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior. Treatment aims to minimize symptoms and involves antipsychotic medications as well as psychotherapy. First generation antipsychotics mainly block dopamine receptors while second generation drugs also target serotonin receptors, with fewer side effects. However, there is currently no cure for schizophrenia.
