1. The basics: Cicchetti

2023-04-03 01:58:34 UTC

There are several readings to go through in your groups. I've attached the first one from Cicchetti. In this chapter, he covers overview of key terms in the field of psychopathology.

The remaining are:
Gottlieb's - Probabilistic epigenesis
Sroufe's - Psychopathology as an outcome of development
Bates's - Language deficits across clinical disorders

These will be your key references on key issues in the field relating to cause-continuity-change that influences an individual's developmental trajectories.

ctnabihah88 — 2023-04-12 03:13:20 UTC

In your groups, revisit Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. There are many references online that you can access on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYCBdZLCDBQ

The task is to tie in your points from the previous readings to these life stages by: mapping out 'possibilities' of a person's developmental trajectories-- in instances with & without maladaptations.

You can start with the first stage & see how far you can get for the hour. Looking forward to hearing them in the final hour of class today!

These are some of the keywords which Nasrin and I found important and interesting from this chapter. It really helped us understand better the concepts which are mainly focused on in the study of Developmental Psychopathology.

airinnadia — 2023-04-15 14:34:09 UTC

Dissociative disorders are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, which can make it difficult for people who are struggling with these conditions to get the help they need. By spreading awareness about dissociative disorders, we can help ensure that people who are living with these conditions get the help and support they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

Let's begin with our Apple TV series..

ctnabihah88 — 2023-05-22 03:31:32 UTC

This series is so valuable to our discussion on mental health. It encompasses most major relatable conditions in our current time. A MUST SEE, so let’s.

Grab your afternoon snacks, popcorns/ movie food & curl up in your classroom seats (Ah!) & listen, process, reflect - we have a lot of room to agree to disagree on things. Here’s hoping that reception will be good!

We will view 5 episodes in class; it would help you to have some guiding questions in thinking through about the series. Feel free to add on what helps you & your groups to uncover more about the disorders that you’ll be in-charge of researching.

e.g.,

1. How do these shared experiences help you understand more about the nature of mental health conditions/disorders, in terms of:

a. relating them to your own observations around you? Real life experiences allow us to have unique perspectives/ interpretations on similar observations.
b. to understanding the mechanisms underlying these
conditions/disorders?
c. listing the common traits shared by/ is unique to a psychopathological condition.

2. What sayings/quotes strikes or stays with you the most from this episode?

What is Gender Dysphoria?

a193176 — 2023-05-24 09:43:35 UTC

Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed.

The word ‘dysphoria’ comes from the Greek word ‘δυσφορία’, which refers to a state of discomfort or unease.
Gender dysphoria is when a person feels immense stress because their innate gender identity does not match up to the gender they were assigned at birth

Who experienced Gender Dysphoria?

Transgender people
Non-binary people
Gender-diverse people

Sam Smith during an interview at 2017 confess that

a193176 — 2023-05-24 09:59:53 UTC

"I'm not male or female. I think I float somewhere in between,"

"After a lifetime of being at war with my gender I've decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out."

"🧠 Understanding Schizophrenia 🧠

a194517 — 2023-05-29 06:41:45 UTC

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that affects the brain, thoughts, and behaviour. Delusions, hallucinations, and disorganised thinking are some of the common symptoms. Genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors can contribute to its development.

Treatment options include medication, therapy, and supportive services. Recovery is possible with proper support and self-care. Let's raise awareness, fight stigma, and promote understanding of schizophrenia. Seek help from mental health professionals and build a strong support network. You are not alone. 💙

#SchizophreniaAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma"

🚫 Debunking the Myth: Schizophrenia ≠ Multiple Personalities 🚫

a194517 — 2023-05-29 06:54:20 UTC

🧠 Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, leading to harmful misconceptions. One of the most common myths is that people with schizophrenia have multiple personalities. Let's set the record straight!

🔍 Myth: People with schizophrenia have multiple personalities.

✅ Fact: Schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder (now known as dissociative identity disorder) are two distinct conditions. Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder characterized by symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and negative symptoms. It does not involve having multiple personalities.

🌟 Remember: Each individual's experience with schizophrenia is unique, but having multiple personalities is not a symptom of this condition.

💙 Let's promote accurate understanding and compassion for those affected by schizophrenia. Let's spread awareness and help break the stigma.

#SchizophreniaAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MythBusting #EndTheStigma

🚫 Debunking the Myth: Schizophrenia IS Treatable! 🚫🧠

a194517 — 2023-05-29 07:01:38 UTC

🧠 Let's dispel another misconception about schizophrenia that can perpetuate stigma and discourage seeking help. It's time to set the record straight!

🔍 Myth: Schizophrenia is untreatable, leaving individuals hopeless.

✅ Fact: This couldn't be further from the truth! While schizophrenia is a complex condition, it is treatable with a combination of interventions.

💊 Medication: Antipsychotic medications can help manage symptoms like delusions and hallucinations, allowing individuals to regain stability and improve their quality of life.

🤝 Therapy: Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can provide coping strategies, support, and tools for managing daily challenges associated with schizophrenia.

🌟 Recovery is Possible: With the right treatment, support, and self-care, individuals with schizophrenia can lead fulfilling lives. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and progress may take time.

💙 Let's spread awareness, offer hope, and encourage understanding about schizophrenia. Let's challenge misconceptions and promote a more inclusive and supportive society.

Symptoms of BPD‼️

2023-06-06 07:59:07 UTC

People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense mood swings and feel uncertainty about how they see themselves. Their feelings for others can change quickly, and swing from extreme closeness to extreme dislike. These changing feelings can lead to unstable relationships and emotional pain.

People with borderline personality disorder also tend to view things in extremes, such as all good or all bad. Their interests and values can change quickly, and they may act impulsively or recklessly.

Other signs or symptoms may include:

Efforts to avoid real or perceived abandonment, such as plunging headfirst into relationships—or ending them just as quickly.
A pattern of intense and unstable relationships with family, friends, and loved ones.
A distorted and unstable self-image or sense of self.
Impulsive and often dangerous behaviors, such as spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance misuse, reckless driving, and binge eating. However, if these behaviors happen mostly during times of elevated mood or energy, they may be symptoms of a mood disorder and not borderline personality disorder.
Self-harming behavior, such as cutting.
Recurring thoughts of suicidal behaviors or threats.
Intense and highly variable moods, with episodes lasting from a few hours to a few days.
Chronic feelings of emptiness.
Inappropriate, intense anger or problems controlling anger.
Feelings of dissociation, such as feeling cut off from oneself, observing oneself from outside one’s body, or feelings of unreality.

Not everyone with borderline personality disorder will experience all of these symptoms. The severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms depend on the person and their illness.

People with borderline personality disorder have a significantly higher rate of self-harming and suicidal behavior than the general population.

Complications of BPD❕

Robert Downey Jr's Journey to Being Clean

a1948081 — 2023-06-28 11:35:47 UTC

Based on a research paper titled Drug Abuse and Developmental Psychology by Meyer D. Glantz, the biggest cause of substance abuse is not biological but actually environmental and interpersonal.

We know that the abuse of drugs and alcohol is a huge topic in the entertainment industry. One beloved actor who comes to my mind when talking about substance abuse is the one and only Robert Downey Jr. and his story is indeed absolutely inspirational.

We all know who Iron Man is. As an enormous Marvel fan myself, this character is by far the most important, loved and respected character of the whole franchise. But as I grew with the movies, I slowly got to know the actors behind the masks and their real life journeys. The story of RDJ's fight against drowning by the harsh grasp of drugs made both the character and the actor more loved by their fans.

RDJ grew up with a filmmaker as a father. He started acting at the age of 5 and not long after that, he was introduced and soon addicted to drugs. "When my dad and I would do drugs together, it was like him trying to express his love for me in the only way he knew how."

This addiction stuck to him for the next 30 years, he was arrested with a total of 6 times over the course of 7 years, skipped a few scheduled drug tests and served some time in prison.

After all that, RDJ finally got the help he needed and fast forward a few decades, he's the icon of motivation for all who suffer from substance abuse across the globe. He's a hero.

"It is not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems. What's hard is to decide and say 'No, I don't want this anymore". - Robert Downey Jr.

Sense of Belonging and Hope in the Lives of Persons with Schizophrenia

After looking into a sense of belonging in a community, I stumbled upon this article which I think might further highlight the importance for professionals to be aware and learn how to cultivate such an environment.

The article highlights one of the aspects that not many people talk about Religion & Faith, where the study takes one's faith into accountability and how patients felt that faith provided them hope when they were in despair and alone.

A quick run-through of the article!
Themes

Sense of Belonging
- Being with others
- Connecting/Being a Part of something
- Not Belonging
- Being an Outsider
- Loneliness
- Faith
Absence of Hope

This is not intended to make mental diseases more admirable or to minimise the suffering caused by enduring emotional upheaval. What you don't need is further criticism if you've already been diagnosed with BPD. You need to have a thorough grasp of what led to these symptoms, realise that it is not your "fault" that you are ill, and learn to maximise your personality's strengths. Again, the benefits of BPD do exist on the other side of the shadow.

💟Psychosis vs Schizophrenia: What's the Difference?

ainanadiha12 — 2023-07-17 11:59:12 UTC

-You might likely have heard the terms "psychosis" and "schizophrenia" used together in this topic. Although these phrases are closely linked, these two terms are not the same at all.

🧸Psychosis is not a disorder itself, but rather a category of symptom indicating an altered state of mind. It is a condition that affects the way your brain processes information. It causes you to lose touch with reality. Psychotic symptoms are common to various mental disorders, medical conditions, and substance use (prescribed or otherwise).

🧸Schizophrenia on the other hand is a diagnosable mental health condition in which an individual experiences psychosis along with other symptoms. While psychosis is a core feature of schizophrenia, other symptoms may include loss of motivation and lack of attention.

-Although people with schizophrenia can experience psychotic symptoms, not everyone who has psychosis has schizophrenia.

My fav anime - themes of depression (must watch!!! >o<)

a193343 — 2023-07-22 15:54:17 UTC

A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi) is a powerful anime movie that explores themes of depression, guilt, and redemption. The story revolves around Shoya Ishida, a former bully who becomes isolated and depressed after facing the consequences of his actions. He encounters Shoko Nishimiya, a deaf girl whom he had bullied in elementary school, and seeks to make amends.

The movie delves into the emotional struggles of both Shoya and Shoko, highlighting the impact of bullying on mental health. It portrays the deep sense of guilt and self-hatred that Shoya experiences, leading to his own isolation and depression. Shoko, on the other hand, battles with feelings of worthlessness and struggles to connect with others due to her disability and past experiences.

A Silent Voice sensitively portrays the characters' journeys towards healing and redemption. It emphasizes the importance of empathy, understanding, and forgiveness in overcoming depression and finding hope. The movie ultimately delivers a message of acceptance, growth, and the power of genuine human connections in overcoming the challenges of mental health.

"I want to apologize for everything. I'm sorry for not understanding your feelings back then. I'm sorry for not being able to help you. I'm sorry for not being a good friend. But I want you to know, from now on, I'll always be there for you. I'll be your friend. So please, don't ever think that you're alone." - Shoya Ishida, A Silent Voice

Cultural Difference in Viewing Depression

a193931 — 2023-07-25 08:48:48 UTC

Let's have a closer look into the eastern and western cultural difference towards Depression!

We always consider Eastern culture always giving negative impacts towards mental illness such as depression, but I surprisingly found that it is not always that case!

You may have a further insight and clarification about this idea via this link:

🔍Depression Symptoms & Religion- The relationship

a193931 — 2023-07-26 04:45:27 UTC

Studies and researches found that Religiosity somehow is strongly relatable to Depression and the symptoms.

🌈Firstly, personal significance and value placed on religious beliefs, has been found to have a protective effect against depression symptoms.💫

Religion, spirituality and depression in prospective studies: A systematic review https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2019.06.063

🌈In this article review, they found that positive religious coping, private religious behavior, and religious denomination were less likely to predict lower rates of depression. This indicates that engaging in religious practices, such as prayer or attending religious services, can be associated with lower rates of depression.💫

Here is another related article:

he Effect of an Islamic-Based Intervention on Depression and Anxiety in Malaysia https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8722650/

🌈The results in this article revealed that the Islamic intervention significantly reduced anxiety levels in women and man.

Here is another research about this:

WHAT ISLAM SAY ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

HazwaniRosni — 2023-07-27 03:50:53 UTC

The Power of Supportive Family.

HazwaniRosni — 2023-07-27 04:04:37 UTC

Support from family is crucial for individuals with ADHD as it can significantly improve their overall well-being, self-esteem, and success in managing the condition.
Remember !!!
Each individual with ADHD is unique, and the type and extent of support needed may vary. Open communication and collaboration between family members and the individual with ADHD are key to finding effective ways to provide support. Additionally, seeking guidance from healthcare professionals, such as psychologists or psychiatrists experienced in ADHD, can be valuable in developing a comprehensive support plan.

Can You Imagine ??

HazwaniRosni — 2023-07-27 04:23:07 UTC

From this video, we can understand that every person with ADHD has different symptoms. ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. Some individuals primarily experience symptoms of inattention, struggling with focus, organization, and forgetfulness. Others may exhibit symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, being fidgety, restless, and having difficulty waiting their turn. Some individuals may have a combination of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms.

Let's embrace diversity.
