Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview01:28

Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview

1.2K
The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

2.5K
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

676
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Schizophrenia

1.7K
Schizophrenia, a term introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911, describes a severe psychological disorder marked by profound disruptions in attention, thought processes, language, emotion, and interpersonal relationships. The core feature of schizophrenia is psychosis — a state characterized by a fundamental detachment from reality. This disconnection manifests through distorted logic, impaired perception, and atypical behavior, severely affecting the lives of those...

Positive Symptoms Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.0K
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that significantly impact cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation. Among these, the positive symptoms stand out as they involve the addition or exaggeration of normal mental functions, deviating markedly from typical behavior and perception. Hallucinations and delusions are prominent positive symptoms, each profoundly affecting the individual's experience of reality.

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.1K
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
Thought Disorders
Disorganized and unusual thought processes mark thought disorders in schizophrenia. One key feature is disorganized speech, where an individual's conversation includes...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • The concept of psychosis existing on a continuum with normal experience has a long history in psychiatry.
  • Recent years have seen a significant rise in research investigating the 'psychosis continuum'.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental characteristics of the psychosis continuum.
  • To present recent findings supporting the validity of the psychosis continuum model.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on the psychosis continuum.
  • Synthesis of recent empirical findings related to psychosis spectrum.

Main Results:

  • The psychosis continuum model is characterized by specific features that are being actively investigated.
  • Emerging data provides substantial support for the validity of a psychosis continuum.

Conclusions:

  • While further research is necessary, the psychosis continuum framework shows significant promise.
  • This model can advance understanding of risk and resilience factors in psychosis-related psychiatric disorders.
