(D1) outline how a named mental disorder is diagnosed. Schizophrenia is a long-term mental health condition that causes a range of different psychological symptoms. These include: · hallucinations[->2] - hearing or seeing things that do not exist · delusions - unusual beliefs that are not based on reality and often contradict the evidence · muddled thoughts based on the hallucinations or delusions · changes in
When analyzing one child who may, or may not, see side effects which include tics, anxiety, chest pain, psychiatric disorders, or blood pressure changes, there is something to keep in mind about the widespread use of such tactics on the children and their developing mentality. The old saying goes, “the children are our future,” with that being said, what future are we establishing with this plethora of medication? Long term physiological and psychiatric effects are in much debate with very little data on either, however, there are some concepts that do not require firm statistics to realize an issue in the making. An article on anti-depressants brings to light a concern that does not appear much in the ADHD debates, that of a child's sense of self (Sharpe, 2012). Adults diagnosed with depression, or even adult ADHD, have an idea of who they were before the medication, and as such, can see the differences that medication may, or may not, have made.
Schizophrenia can be managed, but it requires the assistance of medication and possibly other therapies. The wishful thinking of Elizabeth A. Richter in the thought that a person with schizophrenia can cure themselves is just a dream. The reality for people with schizophrenia is a lifestyle change that requires managing a disease with the aid of medication and therapies. Often times when a person with schizophrenia chooses to go off of medication they fall back into the world of delusions and faltered reality. This can cause upheaval and damage relationships within their life.
Possible APA Research Paper Topics Neurotransmitters: Role in Schizophrenia and Depression A great deal of research into these two mental illnesses has concluded they are diseases of the brain. While there is no cure for either, progress has been made in determining their causes. In each case, it would seem that monoamine neurotransmissions play a role.

HCA 240 A Brief History of Schizophrenia The history of schizophrenia, like the history of many mental disorders, has been a tragic tale. Swiss psychiatrist Paul Eugen Bleuler first identified and named the disease schizophrenia in 1910 (Burton, 2012). Since that time, the disease has undergone many changes in understanding. Some of the early views of the disease included Freud’s view that it resulted from unconscious conflicts from childhood. Other views led to a myriad of ineffective treatments that were often torturous to the patients including: fever therapy, sleep therapy, gas therapy, electroconvulsive or electroshock treatment, and prefrontal leucotomy (Burton, 2012).
Schizophrenia: No One Is To Blame Valeria Saucedo PSYC 2371 Abnormal Psychology April 23, 2014 ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can have a extensive effect on the daily lives of those who have it; in school, the workplace, in social relationships and the simple ability to take care of themselves. With no exact statement of how schizophrenia is developed, scientist, researchers, doctor, etc., have found biological, genetic, psychological and environmental factors that could be responsible. There is a variety of symptoms associated with this illness, some which can cause bizarre behaviors and even lead to suicide. The best way to diagnose a person with schizophrenia is through a series of interviews, where professionals
Bipolar Disease Bipolar Disease At one time, bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, was thought to be a mental illness that was incurred from bad parenting. With new technology and more time and research spent studying this disease, new theories are emerging rapidly. Bipolar disorder is a very puzzling illness, and as of yet, has no one distinct cause. Unlike many other illnesses, whereas the diagnosis is clearly defined from blood tests or a psych evaluation, bipolar disorder has many components involved in its origin. Scientific research has also brought light to the fact that there is not a single gene that causes bipolar disorder, but many different genes involved, with a combination of environmental elements.
(Mayo Clinic Staff, 2010) As mentioned on the Mayo Clinic website (2013) people with anti-social personality disorder often ignore the wishes and feelings of others. They tend to treat people harshly, and often are manipulative and antagonistic. The exact cause of this lifelong disorder is unknown; however it is believed to be a cause of a combination of genetics and environment, and that there may even be a link between the disorder and an early onset of lack of empathy. This essay has been taken from an online site, and is not the original work of the author. The symptoms usually present in childhood, and are fully manifested for most during the 20s and 30s.
