Mental Health Disorders
Communication differences, repetitive behaviors or routines, and sensory sensitivities are 3 key features of _________________.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
What are primary and secondary sources?
Primary Sources: Collect original data directly from the source or through direct interactions (surveys & questionnaires, observations, personal Interviews, personal focus groups, experiments).
Secondary Sources: Involves using existing data collected by someone else for a purpose different from the original intent (textbooks, previously published journal articles, archived medical records, books, government data archives).
This cranial nerve transmits sensory data to the brain and aids in the sense of smell.
Olfactory nerve (CN I)
This brain lobe is responsible for...
● Planning
● Self-control
● Memory Formation
● Empathy
● Attention
● Problem-Solving
● Language
The frontal lobe
True or False:
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that typically starts in early winter and resolves by summer, but for some it starts in summer and resolves in early winter.
True! SAD depressive episodes occur in winter for most people, but can be linked to summer for others.
The most common symptoms of ___________ are often known as “SITCOM”
(Sleep disturbances, Irritability, Tiredness, Concentration difficulties, On edge, Muscle tension)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
I. Collecting data on participants' hair color would be considered THIS type (nominal/ordinal) of qualitative data.
II. Collecting data on participants' education level would be considered THIS type (nominal/ordinal) of qualitative data.
I. Hair color = Nominal data (categories that have no inherent order)
II. Education level = Ordinal data (categories with an inherent order or sequence)
This cranial nerve regulates several automatic bodily processes, including your digestion, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, mood, saliva production and more.
Vagus nerve (CN X)
This brain lobe is in charge of:
• Mapping visual input
• Identifying familiar faces and objects
• Assessing distance, size, and depth
Occipital Lobe
Experiencing four or more episodes of
mania or depression within one year is called _____________.
Rapid cycling
Explain the difference between Bipolar I Disorder and Bipolar II Disorder.
Bipolar I Disorder is defined by manic episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate care. Most people with Bipolar I Disorder also go through periods of depression.
Bipolar II Disorder is less severe; it involves patterns of hypomanic (not as severe as mania) and depressive episodes.
I. Counting the number of cars in a parking lot would be classified as THIS type (continuous/discrete) of quantitative data.
II. Measuring a person's height would be considered THIS type (continuous/discrete) of quantitative data.
I. Number of cars = Discrete data (exact figures that you can count)
II. Height = Continuous data (measurable values that represent a range of information)
This cranial nerve provides the sense of hearing and balance.
Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII)
This brain lobe is associated with...
● Self-perception
● Sensory Integration
● Learned Movements
● Spatial Awareness
Parietal lobe
Depression is about 50% more common among _______ than among _______.
Depression is about 50% more common among women than among men.
What is Cyclothymia?
Cyclothymia is the mildest form of Bipolar Disorder, causing frequent mood swings over a long-term period, but never full-blown mania or depression.
What are the snowball sampling and convenience sampling methods?
Snowball Sampling: Current participants recruit other participants into the research. Snowball sampling is often used in qualitative research when the population is hard-to-reach or hidden.
Convenience Sampling: Select participants who are easiest to access. This can be due to geographical proximity, availability at a given time, or willingness to participate in the research.
This cranial nerve controls tongue movement, which plays a role in speaking, eating and swallowing.
Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
This brain structure plays a role in how you experience emotions and feelings (especially fear), memory, and social interpretations.
The amygdala
What was Persistent Depressive Disorder previously known as?
Dsythymia
Psychostimulants like amphetamines and methylphenidate are the most common first-line pharmacological
treatments for ______________.
ADHD
Which p-value most strongly supports your results?
p < .05
p < .01
p < .001
p < .001
__________________________________________
p < .05 means that the likelihood that the observed result is due to chance is less than 5%
p < .01 means that the likelihood that the observed result is due to chance is less than 1%
p < .001 means that the likelihood that the observed result is due to chance is less than 0.1%
This cranial nerve controls looking down and moving your eyes toward and away from your nose.
Trochlear nerve (CN IV)
What are the four components of the limbic system?
The hypothalamus, thalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala
What does DSM stand for?
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
