Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Dr Seddigh
4
Nature of Schizophrenia and Psychosis: An Overview
Schizophrenia vs. Psychosis Psychosis – Broad term (e.g., hallucinations, delusions) Schizophrenia – A type of psychosis Psychosis and Schizophrenia are heterogeneous Disturbed thought, emotion, behavior
5
Differential Diagnosis
Medical/surgical/ substance-induced Psychotic d/o due to GMC Dementias Delirium Medications Substance induced Amphetamines Cocaine Withdrawal states Hallucinogens Alcohol Mood disorders Bipolar disorder Major depression with psychotic features
6
PSYCHOSIS “Functional” disorders Mood disorders
Substance induced “organic” mental disorders “Functional” disorders Delirium Dementia Amnestic d/o Schizophrenia “spectrum” disorders

Schizophrenia: The “Positive” Symptom Cluster
The Positive Symptoms Active manifestations of abnormal behavior Distortions of normal behavior Delusions: The Basic Feature of Madness Gross misrepresentations of reality Include delusions of grandeur or persecution Hallucinations: Auditory and/or Visual Experience of sensory events without environmental input Can involve all senses but most common is auditory
10
Schizophrenia: The “Negative” Symptom Cluster
The Negative Symptoms Absence or insufficiency of normal behavior Spectrum of Negative Symptoms Avolition (or apathy) – Lack of initiation and persistence Alogia – Relative absence of speech Anhedonia – Lack of pleasure, or indifference Affective flattening – Little expressed emotion
11
Schizophrenia: The “Disorganized” Symptom Cluster
The Disorganized Symptoms Include severe and excess disruptions Speech, behavior, and emotion Nature of Disorganized Speech Cognitive slippage – Illogical and incoherent speech Tangentiality – “Going off on a tangent” Loose associations – Conversation in unrelated directions Nature of Disorganized Affect Inappropriate emotional behavior Nature of Disorganized Behavior Includes a variety of unusual behaviors Catatonia – Spectrum Wild agitation, waxy flexibility, immobility
12
Hallucinations (Positive Symptom)
False sense perception Types Auditory – hear something that is not there, most common hallucination Tactile – feel something that is not there Visual – see something that is not there, more commonly results from substance use or brain d Olfactory/Gustatory – smell or taste something that is not there Somatic – feels like something is going on inside the body
13
Delusions (Positive Symptom)
Fixed, false beliefs Types Bizarre – something that the person’s culture would view as implausible Thought insertion – thoughts are being inserted into person’s head Thought withdrawal – thoughts are being taken out of person’s head Thought broadcast – thoughts are being broadcasted Control – person is being controlled by something or someone else Somatic – things happening to body Grandiose – exaggeration of self
14
Disorganized Speech (Positive Symptom)
Speech that is hard to understand or follow, impairs communication Types Loose associations – speech goes from one place to another, but is based on some sort of association between two things Incoherence – lacks clarity, intelligibility, relevance Frequent derailment – gets off track, loses track of topic Clang – speech goes from one place to another based on sounds Neologisms – made up words
15
Disorganized Speech: Geometric Analogy
Normal: goal directed and linear Tangential Q A A Q Incoherence A Q Circumlocution Loosening of Associations A Q A Q
16
Grossly Disorganized or Catatonic Behavior (Positive Symptom)
Grossly Disorganized Behavior Child-like silliness Unpredictable or inappropriate behavior Unpredictable agitation Markedly disheveled appearance Dresses in unusual manner Clearly inappropriate sexual behavior Catatonic Behavior Stupor Rigidity or posturing Negativism (resistance to a person moving them) Waxy flexibility or catalepsy (limbs remain in the position they are placed)
17
Schizophrenia Two or more of the following, each present for a significant portion of the time during a 1-month period** Delusions Hallucinations Disorganized speech Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior Negative symptoms **Exception to the 2+ symptom requirement: only 1 psychotic symptom required if: Delusion is bizarre Hallucination consists of
19
Subtypes of Schizophrenia
Paranoid Type Intact cognitive skills and affect Do not show disorganized behavior Hallucinations and delusions – Grandeur or persecution The best prognosis of all types of schizophrenia Disorganized Type Marked disruptions in speech and behavior Flat or inappropriate affect Hallucinations and delusions – Tend to be fragmented Develops early, tends to be chronic, lacks remissions
20
Subtypes of Schizophrenia (cont.)
Catatonic Type Show unusual motor responses and odd mannerisms Examples include echolalia and echopraxia Tends to be severe and quite rare Undifferentiated Type Wastebasket category Major symptoms of schizophrenia Fail to meet criteria for another type Residual Type One past episode of schizophrenia Continue to display less extreme residual symptoms
21
Schizophrenia: Some Facts and Statistics
Onset and Prevalence of Schizophrenia worldwide About 0.2% to 1.5% (or about 1% population) Often develops in early adulthood Can emerge at any time Schizophrenia Is Generally Chronic Most suffer with moderate-to-severe lifetime impairment Life expectancy is slightly less than average Schizophrenia Affects Males and Females About Equally Females tend to have a better long-term prognosis Onset differs between males and females Schizophrenia has a Strong Genetic Component
22
Causes of Schizophrenia: Findings From Genetic Research
Family Studies Inherit a tendency for schizophrenia Do not inherit specific forms of schizophrenia Risk increases with genetic relatedness Twin Studies Monozygotic twins – Risk for schizophrenia is 48% Fraternal (dizygotic) twins – Risk drops to 17% Adoption Studies -- Risk for schizophrenia remains high Cases where a biological parent has schizophrenia Summary of Genetic Research Risk for schizophrenia increases with genetic relatedness Risk is transmitted independently of diagnosis Strong genetic component does not explain everything
24
Search for Genetic and Behavioral Markers of Schizophrenia
Genetic Markers: Linkage and Association Studies Search for genetic markers is still inconclusive Schizophrenia is likely to involve multiple genes Behavioral Markers: Smooth-Pursuit Eye Movement The procedure – Eye-tracking a moving object Tracking deficits – Schizophrenics and their relatives
25
Causes of Schizophrenia: Neurotransmitter Influences
The Dopamine Hypothesis Drugs that increase dopamine (agonists) Result in schizophrenic-like behavior Drugs that decrease dopamine (antagonists) Reduce schizophrenic-like behavior Examples – Neuroleptics decrease dopamine, L-Dopa for Parkinson’s disease increases dopamine Dopamine hypothesis is problematic and overly simplistic Current theories – Emphasize many neurotransmitters
27
Causes of Schizophrenia: Other Neurobiological Influences
Structural and Functional Abnormalities in the Brain Enlarged ventricles and reduced tissue volume Hypofrontality – Less active frontal lobes A major dopamine pathway Viral Infections During Mid-Prenatal Development Findings are inconclusive Conclusions About Neurobiology and Schizophrenia Schizophrenia – Diffuse neurobiological dysregulation Structural and functional brain abnormalities Not unique to schizophrenia

Ventricular enlargement in monozygotic twin with schizophrenia
Barondes, 1993
30
Causes of Schizophrenia: Psychological and Social Influences
The Role of Stress May activate underlying vulnerability May also increase risk of relapse Family Interactions Families – Show ineffective communication patterns High expressed emotion – Associated with relapse The Role of Psychological Factors Exert only a minimal effect in producing schizophrenia
31
Cultural Differences Figure 13.8 Cultural differences in expressed emotion (EE).
32
Medical Treatment of Schizophrenia
Historical Precursors Development of Antipsychotic (Neuroleptic) Medications Often the first line treatment for schizophrenia Began in the 1950s Most reduce or eliminate positive symptoms Acute and permanent side effects are common Extrapyramidal and Parkinson-like side effects Tardive dyskinesia Compliance with medication is often a problem
33
Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia
Historical Precursors Psychosocial Approaches: Overview and Goals Behavioral (i.e., token economies) on inpatient units Community care programs Social and living skills training Behavioral family therapy Vocational rehabilitation Psychosocial Approaches A necessary part of medication therapy
34
Summary of Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia – Spectrum of Dysfunctions Affecting cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains Positive, negative, and disorganized symptom clusters DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR Five subtypes of schizophrenia Includes other disorders with psychotic features Several Bio-Psycho-Social Variables are Involved Successful Treatment Rarely Includes Complete Recovery
