The Biology of Mental Illness

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

Since the mid twentieth century, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists have sought to explain mental illness in biological terms. In this talk, we'll discuss the emergence of influential biological models such as the monoamine hypothesis of depression, the rise of neuropsychopharmacology (the prescription and widespread use of medications such Prozac and Zoloft), and the complexity of studying complex conditions like generalized anxiety and schizophrenia in biological terms.

The Dopamine Hypothesis of Schizophrenia Evidence For: -Drugs that increase levels of dopamine (e.g. cocaine, amphetamines) can cause psychosis-like symptoms. -Some dopamine antagonists (e.g. thorazine, haloperidol) can reduce psychotic symptoms. Evidence Against: -Drugs that increase levels of glutamate (e.g. PCP, ketamine) can also cause psychosis-like symptoms. -Decreases in dopamine does not correlate with symptom reduction. -Dopamine drugs have biochemical effect in minutes, symptom reduction takes significantly longer. -There are a huge number of biochemical, anatomical, and functional disruptions observed in patients with schizophrenia. Increased activity in a certain dopamine receptors (the D2 receptors) cause the symptoms of schizophrenia. 21. Lewis, D. A., & Sweet, R. A. (2009).

Criteria for Major Depressive Disorder Depressed mood or a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities for more than two weeks. Specific symptoms, at least 5 of these 9, present nearly every day: 1.Depressed mood or irritable most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feels sad or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful). 2.Decreased interest or pleasure in most activities, most of each day 3.Significant weight change (5%) or change in appetite 4.Change in sleep: Insomnia or hypersomnia 5.Change in activity: Psychomotor agitation or retardation 6.Fatigue or loss of energy 7.Guilt/worthlessness: Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt 8.Concentration: diminished ability to think or concentrate, or more indecisiveness 9.Suicidality: Thoughts of death or suicide, or has suicide plan American Psychiatric Association.

Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders V. American Psychiatric Association. Bipolar I Disorder is mainly defined by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. Usually, the person also has depressive episodes, typically lasting at least two weeks. The symptoms of mania or depression must be a major change from the person's normal behavior. Bipolar II Disorder is defined by a pattern of depressive episodes shifting back and forth with hypomanic episodes, but no full-blown manic or mixed episodes. Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (BP-NOS) is diagnosed when a person has symptoms of the illness that do not meet diagnostic criteria for either bipolar I or II. The symptoms may not last long enough, or the person may have too few symptoms, to be diagnosed with bipolar I or II. However, the symptoms are clearly out of the person's normal range of behavior. Cyclothymic Disorder, or Cyclothymia, is a mild form of bipolar disorder. People who have cyclothymia have episodes of hypomania that shift back and forth with mild depression for at least two years. However, the symptoms do not meet the diagnostic requirements for any other type of bipolar disorder. 34. The Monoamine Hypothesis of MDD Decreases in certain neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin) cause the symptoms of major depressive disorder. Healthy Controls MDD LevelofSerotonin Pfizer (2001) 35. The Monoamine Hypothesis of MDD Decreases in certain neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin) cause the symptoms of major depressive disorder. Evidence For: -Drugs that cause increased levels of monoamines are effective antidepressants. Evidence Against: -People with MDD dont show significant disruptions in monoamine levels. -Monoamine depletion does not cause depression in healthy people. -Medications that have no direct effect on monoamine system can also act as antidepressants 36.
