Question
Answer
Psychiatric Disorders   disorders of psychological function sufficiently severe to require treatment by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist  
🗑
DSM-IV-TR   Diagnostic&Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Guide 4 diagnosis of disorders, produced by the American Psychiatric association. Provides only general diagnostic guidelines that are often interpreted differently by different psychiatrists.  
🗑
Schizophrenia   splitting of psychic functions; breakdown of integration among emotion, thought, and action  
🗑
Stuporous Catatonic Schizophrenia   Schizophrenia characterized by long periods of immobility and waxy flexibility (  
🗑
Waxy flexibility   React like a mannequin, not resisting movement but holding new position until moved again  
🗑
Symptoms of Schizophrenia   recurrence of only 2 of these symptoms for one month is grounds for diagnosis of schizophrenia: Delusions, inappropriate affect, hallucinations, incoherent thought, odd behavior, catatonia, echolalia  
🗑
Chlorpromazine   1st Anti-schizophrenic drug.1st developed as an antihystamine. Agitates schizos were calmed and emotionally unresponsive activated. Reduced symptoms enough for discharge. Typical, phenothiazine. Antagonist at dopaminergic synapses. Caused more metabolites  
🗑
Reserpine   Active ingredient in snakeroot plant that was once used for treatment of schizophrenia, but was then recalled because it caused dangerously low blood pressure levels. Typical, phenothiazine  
🗑
Striatum   depleted of dopamine in Parkinson’s patients—this finding contributed to the development of the dopamine theory of schizophrenia  
🗑
Dopamine Theory of Schizophrenia   theory that schizophrenia is caused by too much dopamine and that anti-schizophrenic drugs exert their effects by decreasing dopamine levels. Contradiction=schizos have same amt of dopamine in brain  
🗑
Fantosnias   Most uncommon symptom of schizophrenia. one of the ways ppl are IDed as faking. Hallucinations of odor.  
🗑
Evidence for Dopamine theory of Schizophrenia   1reserpine known 2 deplete brain/dopamine &other monoamines by breakdown synap vesicles that store these neurotransmitters 2drugs like amphetamine & coke ^ extracell levels / dopamine &monoamines in brain & 2 cause schizophrenic breaks in normal subjects.  
🗑
Metabolites   molecules created when another molecule is broken down Extracell levels of metabolites are increased by chloropromazine  
🗑
Receptor blocker   chloropromazine=receptor blocker@dopamine synapses;binds 2dopamine receptors w/o activating them -> keeps dopamine from activating them current theory is that schizophrenia involves high levels/activity @dopamine receptors  
🗑
Haloperodol   1of most potent anti-schiz drugs,only effective drug that has low affinity 4 dopamine receptors.Bind only 2 d2 receptors Type/butyrophenone  
🗑
