It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The document discusses the history, types, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia including antipsychotic medications and psychotherapy. Nursing management focuses on safety, medication administration and psychosocial support.
ICD 11 proposed changes - A New Perspective On An Old DreamMohamed Sedky
The document discusses proposed changes in the ICD-11 classification system compared to previous versions. Some key points:
- Neurodevelopmental disorders are reorganized, and autism is now classified as autism spectrum disorder.
- Schizophrenia subtypes are removed, and specifiers are added for symptoms. Catatonia is now a separate entity.
- Bipolar II disorder is added as a new category under mood disorders.
- New disorders are added such as binge eating disorder, gaming disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.
- The classification of PTSD is narrowed, and complex PTSD is proposed as a new category. Prolonged grief disorder is added.
This document discusses disorders of thought and delusions. It defines thought and describes different types of thinking. It then discusses disorders of thought content, specifically delusions. It defines delusions and differentiates them from overvalued ideas. It describes different types of primary and secondary delusions, including delusions of persecution, jealousy, love, grandiosity, and health. It discusses theories about the origins of delusions and how their content is influenced by social and cultural factors.
The patient exhibited symptoms of mania such as distractibility, rapid speech, grandiose delusions about replacing the president and being Alexander the Great. Laboratory tests ruled out substance use. The most likely diagnosis is bipolar disorder with psychotic features (option A) given the presentation of manic symptoms with psychotic features in the absence of substance use. Mood disorders are highly prevalent and impairing but many go undiagnosed. Conditions include major depression, bipolar disorder, and dysthymia. Treatment involves hospitalization, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy with antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or ECT.
This document discusses disorders of self and provides information on key concepts related to self, including:
1. It defines self and discusses levels of self-awareness, self-concept, body image, and theories of self such as self-awareness theory and self-discrepancy theory.
2. It explores the history of perspectives on individual identity versus community and discusses how mirrors encouraged greater self-inspection.
3. It examines the brain regions involved in self-referential processing and the role of serotonin in regulating self-esteem.

This document provides an overview of disorders of thought. It discusses different types of thought disorders including disorders of thought tempo like flight of ideas and inhibition of thinking. It also covers disorders of thought continuity like perseveration and thought blocking. Additionally, it examines disorders of thought possession such as obsessions and compulsions. The document aims to classify and describe various thought disorders and their presentations to help with proper diagnosis and understanding of these conditions.
This document discusses key concepts relating to culture and mental health. It defines culture and related terms, and explains how culture can influence various aspects of mental health, including definitions of normality and abnormality, symptom presentation, help-seeking behavior, and response to treatment.

Christina, a 44-year-old woman, was arrested for harassing a local television newscaster, asserting he had fathered and taken her child. However, there was no evidence of a relationship and the newscaster denied it. Christina maintained her delusional belief with extraordinary conviction despite no signs of hallucinations, mood disorder, or organic illness. Her delusional beliefs had existed for years and involved fantasizing about a relationship with the newscaster that did not exist in reality. This case demonstrates a primary delusion arising de novo that is held with unusual conviction and not amenable to logic despite the absurdity being apparent to others.
The document provides a historical overview and current understanding of mood disorders as categorized in the DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic systems. Some key points:
- Mood disorders include depressive disorders and bipolar disorders, with major categories being major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, bipolar I disorder, and bipolar II disorder.
- Important changes from previous editions include removing the bereavement exclusion in DSM-5 and adding specifiers like with anxious distress, with mixed features, and seasonal pattern.
- ICD-11 retains the mood disorders category and bipolar/related disorders grouping, with some organizational differences from DSM-5 like a
Disorders of thought can affect the stream, possession, content, and form of thinking. Regarding stream, disorders include flight of ideas (rapid thoughts with chance associations), inhibition or slowing of thinking, circumstantiality (excessive irrelevant details), perseveration (persisting thoughts), and thought blocking. Disorders of possession involve obsessions, and feelings that thoughts are alien, inserted, deprived, or broadcast to others. Disorders of content include delusions, which are false beliefs held with extraordinary conviction that are resistant to evidence. Primary delusions arise without external influences, whereas secondary delusions develop from other disorders.
This document discusses various disorders of thought and speech. It describes disorders of intelligence including learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities. It also covers disorders of the stream of thought such as flight of ideas, inhibition or slowing of thinking, circumstantiality, perseveration, and thought blocking. The document discusses obsessions, compulsions, and disorders of the possession of thought including thought alienation. It concludes by covering disorders of the content of thinking such as delusions.
There are two main types of thought disorders - delusions and overvalued ideas. Delusions are defined as false beliefs that are firmly held despite evidence to the contrary. Three main criteria define delusions: certainty, incorrigibility, and impossibility of content. Primary delusions cannot be explained by other symptoms, whereas secondary delusions are derived from other abnormalities like hallucinations. Grandiose, paranoid, and delusions of guilt are some common types of delusional content. Disorders of the prefrontal and temporal lobes may underlie generation of delusions.
This document discusses normal emotions and the assessment of mood and affect in clinical interviews. It defines key terms like feeling, emotion, mood and affect. It describes the basic emotions and normal physiology of emotions, including the role of the autonomic nervous system and brain structures. Assessment of mood involves evaluating qualities like intensity, duration and fluctuations. Assessment of affect involves monitoring body language and facial expressions.
The Gurū-Chelā Relationship Revisited: A Review of the Work of Indian Psychia...Université de Montréal
In a series of original and pathbreaking publications, Jaswant Singh Neki (1925-2015), a leading Indian Sikh scholar and psychiatrist (Sikhnet contributors, 2021; Wikipedia contributors, 2021), proposed the gurū-chelā (master-disciple) relationship to create a new paradigm for the therapeutic relationship, employing an accessible cultural idiom that Indian patients could understand and identify with (Neki, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1992). Contrasting his new Indian paradigm with the Western patient-therapist relationship, Neki explored both similarities and sharp contrasts between Western and Indian cultures. Neki argued (1974) that “both are voluntary associations wherein a master enables a change-seeker to dispel ignorance and the effects of undesirable social conditioning.” Using ideas adapted from Raymond Prince, one of the founders of Social and Cultural Psychiatry at McGill University, the author identifies the “I-centered assumptions” behind Western-based psychotherapy: based on the individual as the focus of therapy, using introspection and insight as key therapeutic methods, with personal independence as the goal of therapy (Di Nicola, 1985a, 1985b, 1997). The gurū-chelā relationship, by contrast, “encourages permanent dependency, since the guru assumes total responsibility for leading the chela toward self-mastery through the disciplines of persistence and silence,” and would be “most suited to cultures valuing self-discipline rather than self-expression, and creative harmony between individual and society” (Neki, 1974; emphasis added). The author will take stock of the impact of Neki’s paradigm in India (Carstairs, 1980; Parkar, et al., 2001; Sethi & Chaturvedi, 1985), in the Indian diaspora (Shridhar, 2008), among Indian trainees in the West and in their return to India (Ananth, 1981; Pande, 1968; Surya, 1966) and in Western psychiatric and psychotherapeutic cultures (Di Nicola, 1985a, 1985b, 1997), concluding with a synthesis of Neki’s gurū-chelā paradigm with contemporary trends in psychotherapy, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis.
This document summarizes key concepts in psychiatry related to mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. It discusses mood and affect, defines major depression and manic/hypomanic episodes, and explores the epidemiology and potential biological and psychosocial factors involved in these conditions. Specific brain regions implicated include the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Genetic and environmental influences are also reviewed.
Somatoform disorders involve physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by medical factors and cause significant distress. Somatic symptom disorder involves preoccupation with fears of illness for 6+ months. Illness anxiety disorder is a preoccupation with being sick without actual symptoms. Conversion disorder involves psychological stress converting to motor or sensory symptoms. Treatment focuses on reassurance, psychotherapy, and addressing underlying psychiatric conditions.

This document discusses disorders of self-experience and awareness. It defines self as how a person views themselves and their identity. There are four main aspects of self-awareness: awareness of existence, self-unity, continuity of identity, and boundaries. Disorders are discussed under each of these categories. For example, depersonalization is a disturbance in awareness of one's own activity where a person feels detached from themselves. Schizophrenia can involve feelings that one's thoughts are being controlled or stolen, disturbing boundaries. The document examines various conditions that can impact self-experience like depression, anxiety, substance use, and neurological disorders.
This document discusses factitious disorder, including factitious disorder imposed on self and factitious disorder imposed on another. It defines the disorders, provides diagnostic criteria, and discusses epidemiology, etiology, history, and nosology. Factitious disorder involves the intentional falsification or simulation of physical or psychological signs and symptoms for psychological reasons.
The document discusses models of health psychology, focusing on the biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial model views health and illness as influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. It was first proposed by George Engel in 1977 as an alternative to purely biomedical models. The model examines the interconnections between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors in topics like health, disease, and human development. Strengths include improved patient outcomes, while limitations include being time-consuming and lacking a strong theoretical basis.
This document provides information on Unipolar Mood Disorder and defines Unipolar Disorder as a mental disorder characterized by pervasive and persistent low mood accompanied by low self-esteem and loss of interest in enjoyable activities. It discusses the manifestations of Unipolar Disorder which can affect daily life for weeks or longer by interfering with social, family, work, academic, and health aspects of life. The document also lists and describes several types of Depressive Disorders including Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. It provides details on the diagnostic criteria, clinical manifestations, causes, assessment tools, prognosis, prevalence, and treatment options for these disorders.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that usually appears in late adolescence or early adulthood. Characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and other cognitive difficulties, schizophrenia can often be a lifelong struggle. In this article, we will cover the causes, symptoms, and treatment of schizophrenia
The document discusses disorders of stream of thought, including disorders of tempo such as flight of ideas, retardation of thinking, and circumstantiality, as well as disorders of continuity such as perseveration and thought blocking. It provides definitions and examples of each disorder. Assessment methods are also summarized, including observation, clinical interviews, mental status examinations, scales like PANSS and BPRS, and other tools like the Rorschach ink blot test and Thought and Language Index.
Personality disorders are inflexible patterns of behavior that cause distress and impairment. They include odd, dramatic, and anxious clusters. Treatment focuses on setting limits, avoiding judgment, and maintaining calm communication. Understanding personality disorders improves relationships and reduces stress.
Expressed Emotion (EE) refers to the emotional attitudes and behaviors expressed by relatives towards family members with psychiatric illnesses. High EE, characterized by criticism, hostility and overinvolvement, is associated with worse outcomes and higher relapse rates for conditions like schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. Assessing EE using tools like the Camberwell Family Interview can help identify families that may benefit from psychoeducation interventions aimed at modifying high EE attitudes, leading to improved social functioning and reduced relapse rates for patients.

The document outlines the diagnostic criteria for BPD and discusses cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as evidence-based treatment options.
Psychological models of depression include psychodynamic, interpersonal, behavioral, and cognitive theories. Psychodynamic theories view depression as resulting from unresolved conflicts around loss, impaired self-esteem, and inadequate early caregivers. Interpersonal theories link mood to disruptions in relationships and social support. Behavioral theories explain depression as learned through reinforcement and social interactions. Cognitive theories emphasize negative thought patterns and schemas involving negative views of self, world, and future as central to depression.
This document discusses several approaches to understanding and treating schizophrenia, including:
- The biological approach which examines genetic and neurological factors.
- The cognitive approach which focuses on faulty thought processes that lead to symptoms.
- Psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, family/marital, humanistic, and sociocultural perspectives on etiology and treatment.
Key treatment approaches mentioned are psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques like systematic desensitization and exposure therapy, and rational emotive therapy.
This document provides an overview of schizophrenia, schizotypal, and delusional disorders. It defines schizophrenia as a severe mental disorder characterized by distortions in thinking and perception. The document outlines the incidence, etiology, clinical features, subtypes, prognosis, and treatment of schizophrenia. It notes schizophrenia has both positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as well as negative symptoms involving reduced emotional expression and motivation. The document also describes the paranoid, disorganized, and catatonic subtypes of schizophrenia in detail.
This document provides an overview of personality disorders, including their definition, classification, causes, and treatment. It discusses the main personality disorder clusters (A, B, and C), describing the key features of disorders within each cluster such as paranoid, schizoid, borderline, narcissistic, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. The document also covers the genetic and environmental factors involved in the development of these conditions, their prevalence rates, and challenges with treatment, which typically involves supportive psychotherapy rather than a focus on past issues. Pharmacological interventions may help specific symptoms but are generally not effective as a standalone treatment.
This document provides an overview of conversion disorder in children. It discusses the history and conceptualization of conversion disorder. Key points include: conversion disorder involves physical symptoms that cannot be explained by medical factors and may represent underlying psychological issues; it is more common in children and adolescents experiencing stressors or family dysfunction; learning from models and gaining secondary benefits can perpetuate symptoms; accurate diagnosis is important to guide appropriate treatment focusing on the underlying psychological needs rather than the physical symptoms.
Schizophrenia and related disorders can be classified into several categories. Schizophrenia itself is one of the most common severe mental illnesses, usually diagnosed before age 25 in men and women equally. The cause is unknown but believed to have both biological and environmental components. Symptoms include positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, negative symptoms involving absent normal behaviors, and cognitive impairments. Common psychopathology in thought and speech include circumstantiality, tangentiality, and loose associations.
This document provides information on Cluster B personality disorders including histrionic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. It discusses key characteristics of each disorder such as attention seeking behavior, grandiosity, unstable relationships, and disregard for others. It also examines prevalence rates, co-morbidity with other disorders, and potential causal factors like genetics and childhood trauma. Assessment methods like the BIS/BAS scale are also mentioned.
This document discusses the concept of insight and judgment in mental health. It defines insight as involving introspection, empathy, understanding how one's behavior affects others, and recognizing illness and need for treatment. Judgment requires weighing factors to make decisions. Both insight and judgment rely on intact cognitive functions. The document outlines several models of insight and factors that can impair judgment, such as mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. It also discusses various scales used to measure insight.
According to the psychodynamic view, abnormal behavior stems from unconscious motives and early childhood experiences and relationships. Freud believed that depression originated from the early relationship with one's parents. He saw depression as an excessive reaction to real or imagined loss of a parent's affection, causing the person to regress to childhood dependence. Unresolved hostility towards parents could then turn inward as guilt and feelings of unworthiness. However, the psychodynamic model has limitations as Freud's theories are difficult to scientifically test and do not fully explain what causes depression, since not all children who experience loss develop depression.
This document defines and describes delusional disorder. It is characterized by non-bizarre delusions that have persisted for at least one month without significant impairment in functioning. There are several proposed causes including biological and psychosocial factors. Various subtypes are identified based on the predominant delusional theme, such as erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, and somatic delusions. The diagnostic criteria require non-bizarre delusions for at least one month without symptoms meeting criteria for schizophrenia.
The document discusses schizophrenia, including its classification, definition, epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, types, treatment, and nursing responsibilities. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder characterized by disturbances in thinking, emotions, and social withdrawal. It has a prevalence of about 1% and has both genetic and environmental risk factors. The main types include paranoid, hebephrenic, and catatonic schizophrenia. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications and psychosocial therapies to manage symptoms and promote rehabilitation.
This document discusses complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It presents a case study of a child with ASD and mild intellectual disability who was physically, emotionally, and sexually assaulted, leading to symptoms of CPTSD like insomnia, hallucinations, withdrawal, and increased stereotypies. However, he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and subjected to inappropriate treatments. The document argues for the need to modify cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to effectively treat CPTSD in individuals with ASD, given their unique experiences of trauma and difficulties assessing internal states, social relationships, and finding meaning. It highlights principles from trauma treatment and suggestions for modifying the
The document discusses several themes that could be addressed in a thriller opening, including paranoia, possessed children, stalking, child separation, adoption, and demonic possession. It provides definitions and descriptions of each theme. Paranoia involves irrational fears and suspicions of harm. Adoption disrupts family relationships and causes feelings of loss. Stalking places victims in danger through unwanted pursuit and harassment. Separating siblings in foster care or adoption adds emotional trauma. Demonic possession is described in some cultures as control by malevolent spirits, though it is not a recognized medical diagnosis.
Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, emotional or erratic behaviors. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. Biological factors like genetics and hormones play a role in etiology. Psychological factors during development like attachment issues and maladaptive defenses also contribute to Cluster B personalities. Antisocial personality disorder specifically involves a persistent disregard for social norms with impulsive and aggressive tendencies, affecting mostly males.
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.
Major depressive disorder is a common psychological disorder characterized by a depressed mood lasting more than two weeks along with symptoms like loss of interest, sleep, and pleasure. It can be caused by genetic, biological, cognitive, social, and environmental factors. Treatment approaches include biomedical treatments using antidepressant drugs, individual cognitive therapies to change negative thoughts, and group therapies where people with similar issues provide support. The effectiveness of different treatment approaches is evaluated based on how long symptoms are relieved and whether observable behavior changes.

This journal article review summarizes a research article that evaluated patient referral patterns within the primary healthcare system in Ethiopia. The study found that 28% of 796 patients sought prior care before arriving at their current facility, while only 9.9% were formally referred. Many patients bypassed lower levels of care to access hospital services directly. This suggests weaknesses in the referral system that could be addressed through health education programs and strengthening community-based services. The review discusses limitations of the study and opportunities for future research on clinical appropriateness and improving utilization of primary healthcare facilities in Ethiopia.
Sleep hygiene refers to behaviors and environmental conditions that promote quality sleep and avoid sleep disorders. Healthy sleep habits include behaviors that help falling and staying asleep through the night. Establishing good sleep hygiene practices throughout the day impacts both quality and quantity of sleep. While improving sleep hygiene is important, it may not always resolve sleeping problems on its own, and other treatments are usually necessary as well. Changes to sleep habits should be gradual, as learned habits can be difficult to change quickly.
this ppt is all about sleep hygiene. i have included the definition, why it is important, the process of sleep regulation, poor sleep hygiene, and tips to make better sleep with pictures and youtube videos.

Structural family therapy developed by Salvador Minuchin focuses on changing relationships and interactions within families. Minuchin believes families have hierarchical structures with subsystems like parent-child and marital. He uses techniques like mapping family structures and boundaries, enactments to observe interactions, and changing distances between family members. The goals are to establish clear boundaries between subsystems and alter dysfunctional coalitions and alliances to improve family functioning.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

International Cancer Survivors Day is celebrated during June, placing the spotlight not only on cancer survivors, but also their caregivers.
CANSA has compiled a list of tips and guidelines of support:
https://cansa.org.za/who-cares-for-cancer-patients-caregivers/
2. Double-bind communication (Bateson, Haley and Weakland): It is a no-win kind of
communication. It emphasize on giving the child incomplete messages. The theory
hypothesized that repeated exposure to such dilemma generates or aggravates the
schizophrenic state. If a child subjected to this kind of communication over a long period of
time, it is easy to see how he could become confused.
Schism and skew (Ruth Lide and Weakland): psychoanalytic oriented psychodynamic
perspective. In schism, there is a prominent power struggle between the parents and one
parent gets overly close to a child of the opposite sex. In skewed family, skewed
relationship with one parent involves a power struggle between the parents and the
resulting dominance of one parent.
3. Pseudo-mutuality and pseudo-hostility (Lyman Wynne and Margaret Singer): emotional
expression in the families is suppressed by the consistent use of pseudo mutual or pseudo
hostile verbal communication. This suppression results in the development of verbal
communication that is unique to the family and not necessarily comprehensible to anyone
outside the family. problems arise when the child leaves home and has relate to other
people.
Family interaction Pattern: Schizophrenic families communicate with less clarity and
accuracy than do normal families.
a. Communication deviance: the parent is unable to establish and maintain a shared focus
of attention during transaction with the child.
4. b. Affective climate: the climate and emotional interchange at the surface of the
family represents a sharp contrast with what goes on emotionally in depth.
c. Schizophrenogenic mothers: Characterised as rejecting, dominating, cold, over
protective, and impervious to the feelings and needs of others. thus the child is
deprived of a clear cut sense of his own identity, distorting, his views of himself
and his world and causing him to suffer from pervasive feelings of inadequacy and
helplessness.
d. Schizophrenogenic fathers: Inadequate, indifferent and passive father who
appears detached and humourless; a man who rivals the spouse in his
insensitivity to other’s feelings and needs. Often appears to be rejecting towards
his son and seductive towards his daughter. The daughter often develops severe
inner conflicts as she feels an incestuous attachment to her father.
5. Family expressed emotion (George Brown): Expressed emotion (EE) refers to care giver's attitude
towards a person with a mental disorder as reflected by comments about the patient made to an
interviewer. That high family levels of EE are consistently associated with higher rates of relapse in
patients with schizophrenia.
a. Critical comments: Family caregiver may express in an increased tone, tempo, and volume that
patient frustrates them, deliberately causes problems for them, family members feel burden of
patient, living with him is harder, commenting that patient is ignoring or not following their advices.
b. Hostility: Caregivers state that patient causing problems for them, wishing to live away from the
patient, shouting at the patient, easily getting angry and getting irritation, patient can control
himself, he is acting.
c. Emotional over-involvement: Caregivers blame themselves for everything, feeling like everything is
their fault; showing pity, not allowing the patient to carry out his day-to-day activities, neglecting self,
giving less important personal needs rather than patient needs.
6. Proposed by Dohrenwend and colleagues in 1992 demonstrated the social causation
and social selection mechanisms of the relationship between poverty and mental
illness.
a. Sociogenic/ social causation hypothesis: situational factors associated with low social
class contributes to schizophrenia.
b. Social selection/drift hypothesis: people living with mental illness drift into poverty
during the course of their lives, due to disability, reduced economic productivity,
increased stigma, increased health expenditure caused by their illness.
7. Proposed by Scheff in 1966 in his book “Being mentally ill: a sociological theory”.
He mentioned two types of deviances;
1. Primary deviance: in contrast to the violation of explicit rules, which Scheff
attributes to the actions of criminals or delinquents, psychopathology that
violate implicit behaviours as referred to as primary deviance. It can lead an
individual to be diagnosed with a mental disorder.
2. Secondary deviance: Society members reaction to the diagnostic label produce
what Scheff called secondary deviance. It is the additional pathology or
behavioural disturbances that can cause or worsen mental illness.
8. Thus the symptoms of schizophrenia are seen as deviation from norms.
Therefore those who display unusual behaviour are considered deviant,
the label may be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Self fulfilling prophecy: it is a process through which an originally false
expectation leads to its own confirmation. An individuals expectation
about another person or entity eventually result in the other person or
entity acting in a way that confirms the expectations.
9. Also known as vulnerability-stress model.
Stress-diathesis model combines both biological and ecological factors to explain the
manifestation of mental disorders and it is one of the most significant models to
understand the development of psychopathology.
In this model, the degree of vulnerability to a given psychiatric episode is determined by
each person’s tolerance to traumatic or stressful life events.
Both patients and caregivers are involved in a system of mutual influence in which each
contributes to the stress that acts on the intrinsic vulnerabilities of the other; this
perspective emphasizes upon interactions between vulnerability and stress variables.
10. A purely psychosocial explanation of schizophrenia is unlikely.
Nevertheless they appear to play an important role in the course of
schizophrenia illness at least in understanding its duration, severity,
course and prognosis.
