PTSD v Acute stress d/o |
Major difference is duration of sx. PTSD req sx > 1month. ASD requires sx for less than 4 weeks. Both occur w/in 4 weeks of index trauma. Both require 3 symptom clusters: re-experiencing, hyperarousal and avoidance/numbing. ASD also requires 3 sx of dissociation. |

OCD - presence of obsessions or compulsions that don't respond to simple re-assurance. GAD = anxiety regarding many things (the "worry wart") but can usually recognize irrational nature of worries (better insight) |
|
T/F: panic attacks are pathognomic for panic d/o |
False. Panic attacks can exist in nearly any anxiety d/o and even be substance induced or d/t general medical condition. First distinction is if they are triggered --> insight into specific anxiety d/o. |

BP I v BP II v Cyclothymic d/o |
BP1: h/o manic or mixed episode; BP2: requires h/o hypomanic episode AND MDD episode. Cyclothymia: persistent mood episodes on most days > 2 yrs straight! (w/o euthymia for over 2 months) |

primary d/o v. substance d/o v. d/o due to general medical condition |
If you get a question where patient is taking a substance known to cause a particular syndrome (e.g interferon for depression) then its usually substance induced. Same goes for general medical condition (e.g. L frontal CVA or pancreatic CA --> depression). Primary means that it can't be due to the other two |
|
T/F: Personality disorders are generally ego-dystonic. |
False. They are egosyntonic, which means patient thinks that their sx are reasonable and appropriate (e.g schzoid perfers to be left alone and OCPD thinks its okay to be aperfectionist) |
