Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

662
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.

Notably, studies on high-risk...

Positive Symptoms Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

962
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.

False Memories01:18

False Memories

634
False memories represent a cognitive distortion in which individuals recall events that did not happen, or remember them in an altered form. This phenomenon highlights the brain's constructive nature in processing and recalling memories, emphasizing that memory is not a perfect representation of past events but rather a dynamic reconstruction influenced by various factors.
One primary source of false memories is misattribution, where individuals incorrectly associate external information...

  • Criminology
  • Cybersecurity

Background:

  • Online fraud cases have surged globally, with Malaysia reporting 36,936 cases in 2023, causing substantial financial losses.
  • Factors like financial insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness increase susceptibility to online fraud.
  • Victims often exhibit traits such as higher impulsivity and addiction scores, and tend to be older and female.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report two cases of brief psychotic disorder linked to the psychological stress of online fraud victimization.
  • To underscore the adverse mental health outcomes following online fraud experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Case report methodology.
  • Clinical observation and psychological assessment of two individuals experiencing distress after online fraud victimization.

Main Results:

  • Two cases of brief psychotic disorder were identified in individuals who experienced significant psychological distress due to online fraud.
  • The findings suggest a link between the stress of online fraud victimization and the onset of acute psychotic episodes.

Conclusions:

  • Online fraud can precipitate severe mental health issues, including brief psychotic disorder.
  • Healthcare providers should consider psychological impacts of cybercrime when assessing patients presenting with acute distress or psychosis.
