Schizophrenia biochemisty | imbalance in NT dopamine, imbalance between dopamine-other NT (seritonin 5-HT) |
mood disorder markers | dec REM latency, abn DST |
panic/anxiety biochemistry | GABA: dec antianxiety ability of GABA recptors, NE: inappropirate activation of NE system, Seritonin: dysregulation fo 5 HT |
panic/anxiety imaging | hypothesis: greater activation in right frontal lobe |
orthostatic BP | 15 mm Hg when moving from lying to standing up |
antipsychotics | antagonsits of D2 receptors for dopamine, reduce Sx of schizophrenia (delusions, halluncinations) |
antipsychotic side effects | from receptor blocking activity: motor disturbances, dry mouth, weight gain |
atypical antipsychotics | minimal extrapyramidal Sx, target - and + Sx |
Clozapine | atypical antipsychotic, agranulocytosis (dec WBC) so not first line |
Risperidone | reduce delusion/hallucination, cause hypotension, sedation |
Olanzapine | same as Clozapine but w/o agranulocytosis, doesn't always work so there are other options |
Lithium | anti-manic, prob affects electrical conductivity in neurons, Sx: dysrhythmias, convulsions, tremor, low therapeutic index |
antiepileptics | anti-mainc-reduce firing rate of very high frequency neurons in brain: carbamezapine, depakote, klonopin |
typical antidepressants | block reuptake of NE and some seritonin. amytriptyline, nortriptyline, TCAs |
SSRIs | antidepressants: selective seritonin reuptake inhibitors: fluoxetine: block reuptake of seritonin with little effect on other monoamine transmitters |
MAOI | antidepressants: inhibit enzyme MAO |
trazodone | atypical antidepressant: weak antagonist of muscarinic recpetors |
benzodiazepines | antianxiety: diazepam, clonazepam: allows GABA to inhibit more forcefully, |
buspirone | antianxiety w/o strong sedative-hypnotic effects |
alternative anxiety treatment options | antidepressant (SSRI) |
benzodiazepine side effects | interfere with motor, attn, judgement |
MAOI side effects | , tyramine not destroyed in liver resulting in HTN crisis- no aged cheese, wine |
antidepressant categories | TCAs, Novel, SSRIs, MAOIs |
schizophrenia brain imaging | frontal cortex impairment |
OCD brain imaging | frontal cortex impairment |
Depression brain imaging | prefrontal ccrtex impairment |
CT/ MRI | identify gross anatomical changes |
PET, SPECT | identify biochemical changes in live tissue, metabolism and blood flow |
amines | NTs synthesized from amino molecules such as tryptophan (turkey) |
schizophrenia Sx | psychotic disorders of thinking (delusion/hallucinations, disorganization of speech and behavior( incoherence, word salad, catatonia) |
catatonia | wax-figure like movment |
dysthymias | depression, bipolar, SAD |
NE/5HT | Norepinephrine and seritonin which are causitive facotrs in mania and depression |
neurotransmitters | perfrom vital brain function, maor role in brain disea, behavioral disorders |
DSM-IV | classifies disorders that people have (vs. mental disorders classifying people) |
DSM Axis I | signs and symptoms that constitute a particular disorder (major depression) |
DSM Axis II | personality disorders, mental retardation (dependant personality disorder) |

Clinical Interview content and diroection is decided by | the patient |

MSE form or process | linear fow, contextual appropriateness, rambling, tangential, sudden stops in thinking |
Therapeutic nurse-patient relationship: preinteraction phase | self exploration |
Therapeutic nurse-patient relationship: orientation phase | find out why the patient sought help, establish contract, explore feelings |
