What is meant by systematic description? - Systematically describes each disorder:
age, culture, gender-related features
prevalence, incidence, risk
course
complications
predisposing factors
familial pattern
DDx
when relevant labs & physical signs/symptoms
What is not included in DSM? 3 - theories of causes
management or Tx
controversial issues
Significant, below average intelligence and impairment in adaptive functioning - Intellectual
Disability/Intellectual Developmental Disorder
A variation of intellectual disability for children younger than 5 years with severe defects
exceeding those above - Global developmental delay
4 types of Communication Disorders
1. impaired vocab, difficulty in age-appropriate sentences
2. difficulty in articulation
3. difficulty in fluency, rate, rhythm
4. Difficulty in social interaction/communication w/ peers - 1. Language Disorder (impaired
vocab, difficulty in age-appropriate sentences)
2. Speech sound disorder (difficulty in articulation)
3. childhood-onset fluency disorder/stuttering (difficulty in fluency, rate, rhythm)
4. social/pragmatic communication disorder (difficulty in social interaction/communication w/
peers)
Range of behaviors characterized by severe difficulties in multiple developmental areas,
including social relatedness, communications, and range of activity and repetitive and
stereotypical patterns of behavior - Autism spectrum Disorder
Level 1: most normal (able to speak, reduced interaction)
Level 3: most severe (no speech or social interaction)
, What is the purpose of having systems of classification for psychiatric diagnoses? - 1. to
distinguish one psychiatric diagnosis from another, so most effective treatment can be offered
2. to provide a common language among healthcare practitioners
3. to explore the still unknown causes of many mental disorders
2 important psychiatric classifications are: - 1. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM) - APA
2. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) - WHO
3 basic features of the DSM-5 - 1. Descriptive approach: Describe manifestation of the mental
disorder
2. Diagnostic Criteria: list of features
3. Systematic Description
3 Major types of motor disorders?
1. impaired development of motor coordination (delays in crawling, walking, dropping things,
poor sports performance)
2. repetitive motion activity (head banging, body rocking)
3. sudden involuntary, recurrent & stereotyped movement or vocal sounds - 1. Developmental
coordination disorder
2. Stereotypic movement disorder
3. tic disorder
2 types of tic disorders? - 1. Tourette's disorder: motor & vocal tics including coprolalia
2. Persistent chronic motor or vocal tic disorders: single motor or vocal tic
A chronic disorder in which prominent hallucinations or delusions are usually present for at
least 6 months - Schizophrenia
3 phases of schizophrenia - 1. Prodrome: Deterioration in function before onset of psychotic
phase
2. Active: symptoms must be present for at least 1 month
3. Residual:
Persistent delusions generally about things that could occur in real life
(erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, somatic, mixed, unspecified, infidelity, being
