discontinuing offending agent. Administer IM Cogentin (benztropine). Not as common
with atypicals as with first generation antipsychotics.

/.Attachment between infant and mother facilitates: - Answer-Self-regulation of emotions
/.brain changes in schizophrenia - Answer-increase in ventricular volume (enlarged
cerebral ventricles)
Hippocampus volume decrease, 4% smaller

Decrease glutamate and GABA release.
Decreased total brain volume
/.Capgras syndrome - Answer-person believes someone he or she knows has been
