Definition Slides

Psychological Disorder = a syndrome marked by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) = a psychological disorder marked by the appearance by age 7 of one or more of three key symptoms; extreme inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Medical Model = the concept that diseases, in this case psychological disorders, have physical causes that can be diagnosed, treated, and, in most cases, cured often through treatment in a hospital.

DSM-5 = the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition; a widely used system for classifying psychological disorders.

Anxiety Disorders = psychological disorders characterized by distressing, persistent anxiety or maladaptive behaviors that reduce anxiety.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder = an anxiety disorder in which a person is continually tense, apprehensive, and in a state of autonomic nervous system arousal.

Panic Disorder = an anxiety disorder marked by unpredictable minutes-long episodes of intense dread in which a person experiences terror and accompanying chest pain, choking, or other frightening sensations. Often followed by worry over a possible next attack.

Phobia = an anxiety disorder marked by a persistent, irrational fear and avoidance of a specific object, activity, or situation.

Social Anxiety Disorder = intense fear of social situations, leading to avoidance of such. (Formerly called social phobia)

Agoraphobia = fear or avoidance of situations, such as crowds or wide open spaces, where one has felt loss of control and panic.

Mania = a mood disorder marked by a hyperactive, wildly optimistic state.

Bipolar Disorder = a mood disorder in which a person alternates between the hopelessness and lethargy of depression and the overexcited state of mania. (formerly called manic-depressive disorder.)

Schizophrenia = a group of severe disorders characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and/or diminished or inappropriate emotional expression.

Psychosis = a psychological disorder in which a person loses contact with reality, experiencing irrational ideas and distorted perceptions.

Delusions = false beliefs, often of persecution or grandeur, that may accompany psychotic disorders.

Hallucinations = false sensory experience, such as seeing something in the absence of an external visual stimulus.

Somatic Symptom Disorder = psychological disorder in which the symptoms take a somatic (bodily) form without apparent physical cause.

Conversion Disorder = a disorder in which a person experiences very specific genuine physical symptoms for which no psychological basis can be found. (Also called functional neurological symptom disorder)

Illness Anxiety Disorder = a disorder in which a person interprets normal physical sensations as symptoms of the disease. (Formerly called hypochondriasis)

Dissociative Disorders = disorders in which conscious awareness becomes separated (dissociated) from previous memories, thoughts, and feelings.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) = a rare dissociative disorder in which a person exhibits two or more distinct and alternating personalities. Formerly called multiple personality disorder.

Anorexia Nervosa = an eating disorder in which a person (usually an adolescent female) maintains a starvation diet despite being significantly (15 percent or more) underweight.

Bulimia Nervosa = an eating disorder in which a person alternates binge eating (usually of high-calorie foods) with purging (by vomiting or laxative use), excessive exercise, or fasting.

Binge-Eating Disorder = significant binge-eating episodes, followed by distress, disgust, or guilt, but without the compensatory purging, fasting, or excessive exercise that marks bulimia nervosa.

Personality Disorders = psychological disorders characterized by inflexible and enduring behavior patterns that impair social functioning.

Antisocial Personality Disorder = a personality disorder in which a person (usually a man) exhibits a lack of conscience for wrongdoing, even toward friends and family members. May be aggressive and ruthless or a clever con artist.
