Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Area of Science:

Psychiatry
General Practice
Public Health

Background:

Limited research exists on psychiatric morbidity within general practices in India.
General practitioners (GPs) are often the first point of contact for individuals with mental health concerns.
Understanding the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in primary care is crucial for improving mental healthcare access.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in a general practice setting in Bangalore, India.
To provide preliminary data on the psychiatric illness burden encountered by primary care physicians.
To lay the groundwork for future, comprehensive studies on mental health in Indian general practices.

Main Methods:

A multi-phase study was conducted in a group general practice in Bangalore.
This report presents preliminary findings from the first phase of the study.
Data collection methods focused on identifying psychiatric morbidity among patients presenting to the practice.

Main Results:

The initial phase of the study revealed a significant prevalence of psychiatric morbidity.
Approximately 36% of patients attending the general practice exhibited signs of psychiatric illness.
This finding highlights a substantial unmet need for mental health services in primary care.

Conclusions:

Psychiatric morbidity represents a considerable proportion of cases seen in Indian general practices.
The high prevalence underscores the need for integrating mental health services into primary care.
Further research is warranted to explore the specific types of psychiatric conditions and develop targeted interventions.
