MENTAL DISORDER, OCD, BIPOLAR.


MENTAL DIORDER

  The most important in terms of mental disorders, it is referred to as dissociative identity disorder. They describe it as the existence of one or more distinct identities or personalities in the same individual, each with its own way of perceiving and interacting with the environment. Also associated with memory loss, forgetfulness is not normal, but small lapses amnesic. Although not to be confused with schizophrenia which is also associated with dissociation.

In the field of multiple personality psychiatrists and psychologists is a very controversial term, few would seriously give this diagnosis. Most are not considered a mental disorder, but a mere delusion based cultural and therapeutic.

An example is a person named Tracy who mentioned that he had five personalities:

Emily a 5 year old girl.

Sisie a girl of 10 years.

Becky's aggressive.

Samantha CEO.

Miss Anne's caretaker.

 

OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder (like agoraphobia and social phobia) characterized by intrusive thoughts, recurrent and persistent, that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear or worry, and repetitive behaviors called compulsions to reduce associated anxiety. The TOC is contained within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).

 

The discovery that some drugs are effective in the treatment of OCD has changed the view to be had of this neurological problem. Today not only effective therapies exist, but there is a great deal of research on the causes of neurological problem and a search for new treatments.

 

One example is of a girl who is wash your hands every time you touch something that she and I cleaned aya taca tend to wash their hands nearly 20 times wing washed hour.

 

 

BIPOLAR.

Bipolar affective disorder (BAD), also known as bipolar disorder and past as manic-depression (PMD) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mood disorder characterized by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels , cognition and mood. Clinically reflected in states of mania or, in milder cases, hypomania with concomitant or alternating episodes of depression, so that the affected usually oscillates between joy and sadness in a much more marked than people who do not have this pathology.

 The basic element for the treatment of bipolar disorder is awareness of the problem, its knowledge by the affected and their relatives through psychoeducation to enable them to cope with the crisis without unfounded fears and most valid tools, as well as prevent relapse. Custom Drug therapy, especially during the phases of imbalance is another key. Benzodiazepines, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are the most commonly used drugs.
