Somatic Symptom Disorder

  • one or more symptoms cause distress and disruption of daily life

  • chronic, influenced by the number of symptoms, age, level of impairment, and any comorbidity

  • ineffectiveness of analgesics, history of mental disorders, unclear palliative factors, persistence without cessation, and stress

  • must be accompanied by excessive or disproportionate thoughts, feelings, or behavior

  • focus is on the distress that particular symptoms cause

  • individual's belief that somatic symptoms might reflect serious underlying physical illness are not held with delusional intensity

  • with enhanced perceptual sensitivity to illness cues


⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆Diagnostic Criteria⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆

A. One or more somatic symptoms that are distressing and/or result in significant disruption of daily life.

B. Excessive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to the somatic symptoms or associated health concerns as manifested by at least one of the following:

1. Disproportionate and persistent thoughts about the serious-ness of one's symptoms.

2. High level of health-related anxiety.

3. Excessive time and energy devoted to these symptoms or health concerns.

C. Although any one symptom may not be continuously present, the state of being symptomatic is persistent (typically more than 6 months).


Specify if:

With predominant pain (previously pain disorder): This specifier is for individuals whose somatic complaints predominantly involve pain.

Specify current severity:

Mild: Only one of the symptoms in Criterion B is fulfilled.

Moderate: Two or more of the symptoms specified in Criterion B are fulfilled

Severe: Two or more of the symptoms specified in Criterion B are fulfilled, plus there are multiple somatic complaints (or one very severe somatic symptom).

Illness Anxiety Disorder

  • preoccupation with having or acquiring serious illness

  • usually minimal to no symptoms, mild intensity

  • interpret ambiguous stimuli as threatening

A. Preoccupation with fears of having or acquiring a serious illness.

B. Somatic symptoms are not present or, if present, are only mild in intensity. If another medical condition is present or there is a high risk for developing a medical condition (eg, strong family history is present), the preoccupation is clearly excessive or disproportionate.

C. There is a high level of anxiety about health, and the individual is easily alarmed about personal health status.

D. The individual performs excessive health-related behaviors (eg. repeatedly checks his or her body for signs of illness) or exhibits maladaptive avoidance (e.g. avoids doctors' appointments and hospitals).

New cards

Bipolar I

  • at least 1 manic episode

  • children should be judged according to his or her own baseline in determining whether a particular behavior is normal or evidence of manic episode

  • first ep usually MDE

  • factors that should be considered: family history, onset, medical history, presence of psychotic symptoms, history of lack of response to antidepressant treatment or the emergence of manic episode during antidepressant treatment

  • The diagnosis is “Bipolar I disorder, with psychotic features” if the psychotic symptoms have occurred EXCLUSIVELY during manic and major depressive episodes

  • Symptoms of mania in BP1 occur in distinct episodes and typically begin in late adolescence or early adulthood

  • When any child is being assessed for Mania, it is essential that the symptoms represent clear change from the child’s typical behavior

  • Symptoms of mood lability and impulsivity must represent a distinct episode of illness, or there must be a noticeable increase in these symptoms over the individual’s baseline in order to justify an additional diagnosis of BP1


⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆Criteria⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆

A. A distinct period of abnormally and persistently devated, expansive. or irritable mood and abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy, lasting at least I week and premt most of tne day, nearly every day (or any duration if hospitalization is necessary).

3. More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking

4. Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing

5. Distractibility (i.e., attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli), as reported or observed

6. Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation (e.g., purposeless non-goal-directed activity)

7. Excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments)

C. The mood disturbance is sufficiently severe to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or to necessitate hospitalization to prevent harm to self or others, or there are psychotic features.

D. The episode is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication, other treatment) or to another general medical condition.

Note: A full manic episode that emerges during antidepressant treatment (e.g., medication, electroconvulsive therapy) but persists at a fully syndromal level beyond the physiological effect of that treatment is sufficient evidence of a manic episode and, therefore a bipolar I diagnosis.

19
New cards

Bipolar II
