Psychopathology A — Anxiety, Trauma, Mood & Eating

What it covers

• When worry becomes generalized anxiety disorder
• Panic attacks, panic disorder and agoraphobia
• Every phobia the exam names
• Obsessions, compulsions and the OCD family
• Anxiety in disguise: the somatic symptom and dissociative disorders
• After the trauma: acute stress disorder, PTSD and adjustment disorder, on one timeline
• Rape-trauma syndrome and the evidence rules
• The whole mood spectrum: major depression, bipolar I and II, cyclothymia
• Nursing the depressed patient and nursing the manic patient — opposite jobs
• Anorexia and bulimia side by side, from lanugo to Russell's sign
• The Philippine layer: RA 8505, disaster trauma, and the culture around food and mood
