This document provides an overview of anxiety disorders, including their symptoms, causes, diagnostic criteria and treatment. It describes how anxiety is a normal emotion but also becomes a clinical disorder when excessive and interfering. The core symptoms of fear and worry are present across different anxiety disorders. Genetic and environmental factors can contribute to development of disorders. Common types include specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Effective treatment usually involves a combination of medication like SSRIs to increase serotonin levels along with psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
This document discusses several somatic symptom and dissociative disorders including somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, conversion disorder, and their diagnostic criteria and features. Somatic symptom disorder involves physical symptoms that cause significant distress or impairment, along with excessive thoughts about the symptoms.

Quick review of the essential points— DSM5 diagnosis criteria, assessments, treatments—of these disorders to better prepare for the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam. This was informed by several exam prep programs, and can be used like flashcards or as a presentation.
This document discusses the concept and use of hypothesizing in family therapy. It defines a hypothesis as an unproved assumption used as a starting point for investigation and change, not truth. In family therapy, the therapist forms a pre-session hypothesis based on family information to organize the session. The hypothesis is continually tested and may be disproven, requiring a new hypothesis. Well-formed hypotheses should pertain to symptoms, how the family maintains them, and why they sought therapy. Hypothesizing helps therapists focus their attention and make sense of complex family dynamics.
Effective therapies for drug and alcohol addiction include CBT, community reinforcement approach plus vouchers, contingency management/motivational incentives, motivational enhancement therapy, the Matrix Model, 12-step facilitation therapy, and behavioral couples therapy. Therapies created for adults like CBT, MET, and the Matrix Model need modifications to be effective for adolescents. Family-based therapies shown to work for adolescents include multisystemic therapy, multidimensional family therapy, and brief strategic family therapy. These therapies aim to improve individual and family dynamics that influence adolescent substance use.
The document discusses the relationship between mental illness and violence. It finds that the majority of mentally ill individuals are not violent and that substance abuse is a major determinant of violence. It describes the neurobiology of aggression and the cycle of assault. Understanding these principles can help with managing aggression.
The document summarizes a presentation on thought and thought disorders. It defines thought, describes different types of thinking (fantasy, imaginative, rational), and characteristics of healthy thinking. It then discusses thought disorders, formal thought disorders, and specific disorders like flight of ideas, poverty of speech, circumstantiality, and loose associations. Research on thought disorders in schizophrenia is mentioned, focusing on structural brain abnormalities and biomarkers.
Inhalant abuse involves inhaling chemical vapors from household products like glues and solvents to get high. Common inhalants include volatile solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrites. Acute effects include euphoria and CNS depression, while chronic use can lead to neurological and cognitive issues like memory problems. Risk factors include peer pressure and socioeconomic adversity. Prevention focuses on limiting access, education, and addressing underlying issues like mental health problems. Management involves treatment of withdrawal, medical complications, and psychosocial support.
Paraphilic disorders involve intense and persistent sexual interests that are considered unusual or socially inappropriate. The document discusses several specific paraphilic disorders including voyeuristic disorder, exhibitionistic disorder, frotteuristic disorder, sexual masochism disorder, sexual sadism disorder, pedophilic disorder, fetishistic disorder, and transvestic disorder. It provides diagnostic criteria for each disorder from the DSM-5 and describes characteristics, prevalence, historical aspects, etiology, and related topics for paraphilias and these specific disorders.
The document provides an overview of psychiatry and mental health topics. It defines mental health according to the WHO as a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. More than two-fifths of total disabilities worldwide are due to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression, and substance abuse disorders.

Some landmark studies mentioned are the International Pilot Study of Schizophrenia, Determinants of Outcome of Severe Mental Disorders study, International Study of Schizophrenia, and long-term follow up studies of cohorts in Agra and Madras that found illness intensity decreases over time and outcomes are better than in developed countries.
The document discusses delusions from a psychiatric perspective. It provides background on how delusions were historically defined and categorized. It describes the key characteristics of delusions as being firmly held false beliefs that are resistant to evidence. It discusses different types of delusional content and potential neurological underpinnings. The document also examines theories about how delusions may develop from abnormal perceptions, emotions, memories or thought processes and considers case examples.
The DSM-5 organizes 10 personality disorders into 3 groups, or clusters, based on shared key features. Cluster C Personality disorders includes 3 disorders sharing anxious and fearful features. Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive.
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves. It is a brain disorder that affects approximately 70 million people worldwide and 3.1 million people in the United States. While the exact causes are unknown, it is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors that disrupt the brain's chemistry and ability to interpret reality. Effective treatment involves medication and therapy to manage symptoms and allow people to lead productive lives.
OCD and Substance Use Disorder IOCDF Conference 2020StaceyConroy3
The document discusses obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and substance use disorders (SUD). Around 25% of people with OCD also have a co-occurring SUD. Effective treatment of OCD and SUD requires concurrent, integrated treatment that addresses both disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy, twelve step programs, and medication can all be part of an effective treatment plan for individuals with OCD-SUD. Assessment for SUD should be included when treating OCD patients to identify potential co-occurrence and need for integrated treatment.

The utility of psychotropic drugs on patients with fetal alcohol spectrum dis...BARRY STANLEY 2 fasd
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Treatment of the complications arising from Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) has largely been focused on psychosocial and environmental approaches. Research on the
use of medications, especially psychotropic medications, has lagged behind.
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review sought to investigate psychotropic medication related findings and outcomes in those diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
METHODS: Comprehensive searches were conducted in seven major databases (Medline/
PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and
PsycARTICLES) up to February 2017. Key search terms with synonyms were mapped on these databases. There were no timeline restrictions and no grey literature searches. Two reviewers
independently assessed 25 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were reviews of treatment and retrospective case series.
RESULTS: Two crossover randomized trials were reported, and the findings were not amenable to meta-analysis. Several conditions (depression, agitation, seizures, and outburst) combined with the most frequent presentation, ADHD, to represent the rationale for prescribing psychotropic medications. Second-generation antipsychotics were found to improve social skills, but the paucity of data limited the extent of clinical guidance necessary for the field.
CONCLUSIONS: The systematic review showed that there are some clinical evidence displaying
the validity of psychopharmacological interventions in people with FASD, which varies across the spectrum of disease severity, age, and gender. There is a need for more clinical evidencebased studies in addition to clinical expert opinions to substantiate an optimal ground for individualized management of FASD.

1)Psychosis: Again, the diagnosis of schizophrenia is best made over time because repeated observations increase the reliability of the diagnosis. A diagnosis of schizophrenia is reached through an assessment of patient-specific signs and symptoms, as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Schizophrenia presents with four symptom clusters: positive, negative, cognitive, and affective disturbances. Positive symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, thought disorders/behaviors, and movement disorders. Negative symptoms include a flat affect, alogia, anhedonia, lack of self-motivation, social withdrawal. Cognitive symptoms include poor executive function, difficulty focusing, memory deficits. And finally, affective disturbances include odd expressions or actions, poor self-esteem, depression with an increased risk of suicide (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas, 2011).
The diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia include the persistence of two or more of the following active-phase symptoms, each lasting for a significant portion of at least a one-month period: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. At least one of the qualifying symptoms must be delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech (DSM-5, 2013). Patient Andy presents with delusions, auditory/cenesthetic hallucinations, and increasing social withdrawal extending upon two months. As well, an estimated 80% of clients affected by a psychotic disorder experience their first episode between the ages of 16-30. In men, the symptoms tend to present between 18 and 25 years of age. In women, the onset of symptoms has two peaks, the first between 25 years of age and the mid-30s, and the second after 40 years of age (Hol ...
This paper discusses the over-diagnosis of behavioral and conduct disorders like ADHD. Diagnostic criteria for these disorders are outlined in the DSM-V. There has been concern that ADHD is over-diagnosed, driven by increased prescription of stimulant medications for children. However, rates of diagnosis and medication use vary significantly between regions. Over-diagnosis can lead to potential short-term side effects from medications as well as long-term risks if symptoms are not properly assessed and treated. Comprehensive evaluations are needed to provide effective care and address concerns about over-diagnosis.

Three Questions for the Patient
After reviewing the material presented in this case study, there are some concerning questions regarding this patient’s psychiatric history. Additional questions would include:
After each discontinuation of medication after an episode of depression, was this decision the choice of a physician or self -initiated? This question would provide knowledge of the patient’s medication compliance. For example, does the patient stop taking prescribed medication on symptoms are alleviated?
What were the circumstances prior to each depressive episode? his question would enlighten the practitioner on triggers and factors that personally affect the patient before a depressive episode occurs.
There appears to be history of alcohol abuse and depression in your family, has anyone in your family received treatment? This question would provide a view into the patient’s understanding of psychiatric treatment. Since the patient does not believe in psychotherapy due to religious reason, the patient may not know what treatments were, are or will be available to him.
Feedback from People in Patient’s Life
The patient has been married for 33 years. Assuming his spouse is around before, during and after an episode, she may provide information the patient failed to share or may not have been honest about. The first person to be questioned would be the patient’s wife. Some of the questions for the patient’s wife would include onset of symptoms. What occurs before each episode of depression? Is there conflict between you and your spouse? Are there any stressors, such as financial plaguing your spouse and you?
The patient also has three children. All three of his children suffer from some form of depression. Questioning the patient’s children may provide a historical history of the patient. For example, the children may have noticed symptoms leading to the patient’s depression years ago. Questions for the children may include did your parent’s argue often while you were growing up? Did your father ever lose interest in your childhood years? Did you feel love or rejection while growing up from your father? What were your father’s behaviors? Did you ever notice any alcohol or drug abuse while growing up?
Physical and Diagnostic Exams for Patient
Unfortunately, there is not a certain test for depression. The primary goal of physical exam and diagnostic testing would to rule out other conditions causing similar symptoms. A physical exam should be preformed assessing respiratory and cardiovascular system. Vital signs should be taken as well.
Certain labs should be assessed in the patient. The practitioner should check the patient’s thyroid levels. Thyroid hormones have been linked to depression (Stahl, 2008). Depression can be caused by an underactive or overactive thyroid.
Another lab test to consider would be dexamethasone ...

This document discusses a case study of a 63-year-old male patient with recurrent depression. It poses additional questions that could provide more context about the patient's psychiatric and family history. It also suggests questions for the patient's wife and children, as well as physical exams and lab tests that may help diagnose the patient. Finally, it discusses potential differential diagnoses and pharmacologic treatment options.
The document discusses the drug problem and treatment of drug dependence in the Philippines. It provides statistics on drug use and admissions to rehabilitation centers. It then covers the psychological dimensions of drug problems, reasons for drug use, treatment processes including discontinuation of substance use and behavioral modification, and prevention strategies.
This document summarizes research on drug abuse and addiction. It finds that addiction is a brain disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite negative consequences. Addiction involves changes in brain structure and function that compromise mental and motor function if untreated. Multiple factors contribute to addiction risk including genetics, environment, development, mental illness and stress. Effective prevention and treatment strategies must address the biological, psychological and social aspects of addiction over the long term, as addiction is a chronic and relapsing disease. International research collaboration is needed to address drug abuse globally.
Neurobiology of drug abuse and addiction_NIDAGeorgePanagis3
This document summarizes research on drug abuse and addiction. It finds that addiction is a brain disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite negative consequences. Addiction involves changes in brain structure and function that persist even after periods of abstinence. Risk factors include genetics, mental illness, stress, and drug availability. Prevention and treatment strategies must consider biological, psychological, and social factors. Addiction is treatable, but often requires multiple treatment attempts due to high relapse rates, similar to other chronic diseases. Further research aims to develop improved prevention and treatment methods.

Effectiveness of non-pharmacological in Comparison to
Methylphenidate Stimulant Therapy
Introduction
Attentive–deficit hyperactivity is a psychological disorder that is well known, affecting
both children and adults. Some of the associated symptoms that are associated with ADHD include
inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty in focusing. It is reported that in the United
States, about 8.5% of children are affected by ADHD. In the treatment process, several ways have
been put into place. Despite the treatment, many studies reported that some treatment methods
have side effects. Therefore, knowing the method that least has the side effects is crucial. This
research proposal will play an essential role as it will identify whether non-pharmacological
intervention, behavioral therapy, and stimulant therapy have the same results in children aged 4 to
8.
Background of the study
Dr. George first identified ADHD when he was a pediatrician. He noted that his patients
had uncontrollable impulsive behavior. There was an introduction of the drug Benzedrine, which
was approved as it showed to improve ADHD symptoms in children. In 1950 there was the
introduction of Ritalin drugs which were used in ADHD treatment in both children and
adolescents. (Holland & Higuera (2017). The drug that is used in the treatment of ADHD to date is
Ritalin. Despite the doctors treating patients with ADHD symptoms from the 1930s, there was no
actual definition of ADHD. Still, it was given much attention in 1987 when the American
Psychiatric Association (APA) redefinition of the disorder.
3
By 2020, approximately 7.1 million young children aging between 2-17 years with ADHD
had been diagnosed. (Garbe (2018). Despite the prevalence of the disorder among children and
adolescents, ADHD is also present in adulthood. In most cases, this disorder is noted when the
child gets into the class and starts issues of failing to focus on the classroom. There are different
forms of ADHD which entails hyperactive/impulsive type, inattentive type, or a combination of the
two. There is a criterion that is customarily utilized in the treatment of ADHD. The parents and the
teacher are required to document the children's symptoms for a period of six months. Research
shows that ADHD is more common in males than women. One of the interventions utilized is
stimulant therapy, considered standard treatment for children after reaching an appropriate age.
The stimulus, for example, the medication, is said to have side effects which can be either mild or
severe. Some noticeable side effects include upset stomach, appetite change, heart abnormalities,
tics, and weight loss. Although the treated symbols are 70-80% treated, there can be the utilization
of.
This document discusses several topics related to psychopharmacology in children and adolescents. It notes that there has been a large increase in the prescription of psychiatric medications for children in recent decades. It outlines some of the ethical issues and debates surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children, including concerns about overdiagnosis and the influence of parents and legal/business factors. The document also provides information on several classes of psychiatric medications commonly prescribed to children, including antidepressants, stimulants for ADHD, atypical antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder. It discusses the mechanisms of action, efficacy evidence, side effects and special considerations for use of these medications in developing populations.

Parsis and their quest with preservation of their identityNatasha Gupta
This document discusses the cultural identity and assimilation of Parsis in India. The Parsis are descendants of Zoroastrians who migrated to India from Iran in the 8th century to escape religious persecution. While in India, the Parsis integrated into local culture by adopting the Gujarati language and other customs, but also preserved key aspects of their Zoroastrian religious identity and practices, such as maintaining separate fire temples. Over time, the Parsis evolved a distinct ethnic identity as a minority group in India, facing new challenges to their cultural survival in modern times due to declining population.
This document discusses sensory substitution, which is using input from one sensory modality to acquire information for another sensory modality. It provides examples of auditory-vision substitution using the vOICe system and tactile-vision substitution using tactile arrays. Tactile-vestibular substitution is also discussed as a way to provide balance information to subjects with bilateral vestibular loss. The strengths are that training with these systems can lead to externalization of sensations and accurate identification of percepts. However, the precise neural mechanisms are not fully understood. There is potential for inexpensive and accessible implementations to expand human senses and study brain plasticity.
Managing Diversity: A Comparison of two Indian OrganizationsNatasha Gupta
The study compared diversity management in two Indian organizations from the perspectives of managers and employees. There were few differences found between managers of both organizations in their approaches. Employees differed slightly in some dimensions like how they defined diversity. Managers and employees within each organization also showed some differences, such as in defining diversity and considering it for promotions. Overall, diversity training and management were not emphasized, and differences were largely ignored. The study highlights the need to better recognize and value workplace diversity.
Sand Play Therapy is an expressive therapy that uses a tray of sand and miniature objects to allow children to symbolically act out and resolve inner conflicts and psychological issues. It was developed by Margaret Lowenfeld in the 1930s and emphasizes using a three-dimensional sand "world" to explore a child's deeper psyche and integrate their psychological condition. The method involves the child constructing a sand picture with miniatures provided while the counselor observes without interference to understand the child's issues and perspective. Common stages of sand play include chaos, struggle, and resolution as psychological problems are worked through.
The document describes a study that assessed sexual hygiene and awareness among young adults in India using an online survey. 104 individuals ages 19-24 participated, including 42 males and 62 females. The survey examined washing, clothing changes, sexual activities, communication with partners, and awareness of protective measures. Results found areas needing intervention included not visiting physicians regularly, lack of communication about safe sex among males, and low awareness of protective measures among males. Suggestions to address problems included sexual health education, counseling, and programs to increase healthcare access.
The document provides information on eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. It discusses the typical age of onset, gender differences in prevalence, and biological, psychosocial, and behavioral risk factors for developing an eating disorder. Examples are given of celebrities who suffered from eating disorders, including Princess Diana, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, and tennis player Monica Seles. Their experiences illustrate several risk factors such as pressures from family or society to be thin, trauma, and internalizing the thin ideal promoted by the media.
The document discusses the history and development of aptitude testing, beginning with intelligence tests developed during World War I. It then covers the development of vocational interest measures in the 1940s-1960s and factors that led to the lag in developing aptitude tests, including statistical and social/practical reasons. A key development was the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) initiated in the mid-1930s to identify aptitudes, with Forms A & B published in 1947 and Forms C & D in 1983. The GATB underwent review and revision in the late 1980s resulting in Forms E and F, also called the Ability Profiler. The document provides details on the GATB/Ability
Reddy's Cube is a three-dimensional model created by W. Brendan Reddy in 1994 to analyze interventions. It considers the focus, type, and intensity of interventions and is useful for process consultants to evaluate multiple variables across different dimensions. The cube can also be broadly applied beyond process consulting.
The document discusses the successful marketing strategies used to promote the 2015 blockbuster film Bahubali. The promotion of the film started 2 years before its release primarily using social media. To recoup the high costs of marketing, the film was split into two parts to encourage audiences to watch it twice. The film met audience needs for suspense and thrill, built long-term customer relationships by engaging fans between parts one and two, and used social media and WhatsApp marketing to constantly interact with customers. It also leveraged different languages to cater to customer diversity and had actors promote the film extensively on social media and various shows and events.
This document discusses various types of industrial disputes, including strikes, lockouts, gherao (surrounding management), picketing, boycotts. It provides examples of disputes that occurred at companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Verizon, Toyota. Disputes can arise due to issues around compensation, benefits, unions, outsourcing jobs. Resolution may involve accepting agreements, wage increases but also suspensions and loss of jobs. Third party interventions are sometimes required but not always lead to win-win outcomes. Globalization and organizational changes can threaten worker interests and fuel disputes.

30 – Hours Yogic Sukshma Vyayama Teacher Training Course
What is Sukshma Yoga?
Dhirendra Brahmachari formulated this system and wrote books to clearly formulate the ancient yogic science. This practice simple yet powerful series of specific exercises that improve health and enhance the strength of different organs and systems in the body, from top of head to toes.
Suksma means subtle prana, mind, and intellect: Vyayama means exercise. Suksma Vyayama is meant for the Subtle Body (Suksma Sarira), it is not meant for the Sthula Sarira (Gross Physical Body).
Need of Suksma Vyayama
In yoga, it is said that most pranic blockages start in our joints. Ayurveda says that ‘ama’ or the toxic and undigested waste material tends to settle in the empty spaces of our body, the joints. To remove these impurities we practice Suksma Vyayama, to release any such impurities in our subtle pranic body.
Three dimension of suksma Vyayama:
1.Breathing (slow or fast: Bhastrika/Bellows)
2.Point of concentration (mental concentration on Chakras)
3.Exercise (using Bandhas and Mudras)
Sukshma yoga purifies and recharges the body, mind, energy, and emotion. It prepares the well foundation for further means of Yoga practice. It includes Sukshma Vyayama (Subtle Exercise), and Vishram (Rest & Relaxation). It is itself complete package that fulfills the basic need of human being.
Sukshma Vyayama is one of the major parts for physical activity and the regulation of entire physiologies. Sukshma Vyayama is also known as a kind of warm up exercise or basic exercise or clinically anti-rheumatic group of exercise and also called body scan. The system of the physical and breathing exercise which help to sequentially work out all joints of a body, to warm it up. This system has a strong purifying effect on energy body of a human.
1.1. History of Sukshma Vyayama
We will observe visible Parampara of Sukshma Vyayama. Literal meaning of Parampara is the continuous chain of succession by Master to followers. In Parampara system, the knowledge is passed on without changes from generation to generation). Unfortunately because of the absence of enough information we are not able to find sources of this tradition.
System of Sukshma Vyayama knowledge which was unknown in the west before that was extended by one of outstanding yoga masters, Dhirendra Brahmachari (1925-1994). He received Initiation into Sukshma Vyayama techniques from Maharshi Kartikeya, the prophet and sacred great yogi who was his Master. In the preface to the book “Yogic Sukshma Vyayama” Dhirendra Brahmachari wrote about his precious Guru. Deep knowledge made him the unique expert of human characters, of their abilities and possibilities. From Maharshi Kartikeya, Dhirendra Brahmachari received a precept to spread knowledge about Sukshma Vyayama. The invaluable merit of Dhirendra Brahmachari is that he managed to accumulate knowledge in the convenient form, to make it open and understandable for the audience everywhere. The b

2.
DSM V
2013 update to APA’s Classification
and Diagnostic tool.
Published on May 18, 2013,
superseding the DSM-IV-TR,
published in 2000.
Three Sections –
o Section I: Describes chapter
organization, change from the
multiaxial system, and Section III's
dimensional assessments
o Section II: Covers the diagostic
categories
o Section III: Conditions that need
additional research, a glossary
of terms, and other important
information
3.
DSM V
Major Changes –
o No more Multiaxial Assessment
System
o Restructured Order of Chapters
o New Diagnoses
o Revised Diagnoses
o Conditions for Further Study
4.
Conditions for Further
Study
Proposed criteria sets for conditions on
which research encouraged
Set by expert consensus
Intended to provide a common language
for researchers and clinicians
Not intended for clinical use
Following conditions were included –
o Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome
o Depressive Episodes With Short-
Duration Hypomania
o Persistent Complex Bereavement
Disorder
o Caffeine Use Disorder
o Internet Gaming Disorder
o Neurobehavioral Disorder Associated
With Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
o Suicidal Behavior Disorder
o Nonsuicidal Self-Injury
5.
Caffeine Use Disorder
Caffeine – World’s most widely used
psychoactive substance
Present in tea, coffee, cocoa beverages,
chocolate bars, soft drinks
Stimulant
Legal and Unregulated
Adults – Coffee
Children – Soft Drinks
Mood altering effects depend on the
amount consumed and whether
individual physically dependent or
tolerant
People continue to use caffeine
despite medical or psychological
problems to avoid withdrawal
symptoms
6.
Caffeine Use Disorder
Withdrawal symptoms –
o Headache
o Irritability
o Inability to concentrate
o Drowsiness
o Insomnia
o Pain in the stomach,
upper body, joints
These may appear within
12-24 hours after
discontinuation
Usually last from 1-5 days
7.
Prevelance Rate
Hughes and colleague(1998)
- This study found that 30%
of 162 current caffeine users
fulfilled the DSM
IV diagnosis for Substance
Dependence.
Burgalassi et al. (2009) -
Interviewed 58 female
patients with eating
disorders, 16 % of these
patients met the DSM IV
criteria for Substance
Dependence applied to
caffeine.
8.
Comorbidity
Mood disorders and other
substance abuses coexist with
caffeine disorders. Some studies
report 50% comorbidity.
Lucas et al (1990) - Tested
patients with chronic
schizophrenia with 10 mg/kg,
which led to increased psychosis,
thought disorder, unusual
thought content, and euphoria-
activation. In these patients,
anxiety was not increased by
caffeine, which may be particular
to patients with schizophrenia,
but may also be related to
concurrent treatment with
antipsychotics.
9.
Biological Factors
Genetic Factors
Inducer of anxiety at higher doses
(Green & Suls, 1996)
Axiogenic effect influenced by
individual factors
Individuals with the 1976T/T
genotypes for A2A adenosine
receptors reported greater increases
in anxiety after caffeine
administration than the other
genotypic groups (Alsene et al.,
2003)
This genotype associated with less
caffeine intake (Comelis, 2007)
In Western Population (Hamilton et
al., 2004), but not Asians (Yamada
et al., 2001)
10.
Biological Factors
Twin studies - heritability of caffeine-
related traits range between 0.36 and 0.58
(Yang et al., 2010)
Twin resemblance for caffeine
consumption, use, intoxication, tolerance
and withdrawal ascribed solely to
genetic factors, with estimated broad
heritabilities of between 35% and 77%.
(Kendler & Prescott, 1999)
The magnitude of heritability for caffeine
dependence markers is similar to those
for nicotine and alcohol (Kendler et al.,
2008)
Women with a lifetime diagnosis of
caffeine dependence and a family history
of alcoholism had higher levels of
caffeine use and lower rates of
abstinence throughout pregnancy (Svikis
et al., 2005)
13.
Treatment
No defined treatment option.
Some researchers (Juliano et al., 2012)
believe the disorder should have similar
treatment approaches in the future as
those people who seek treatment for
substance use disorders.
Switching types of drink or choosing
decaffeinated drinks.
Twelve-step program
medical treatment for exacerbated
physical issues like insomnia,
hypertension etc.
Juliano and colleagues reported that 47%
of 258 individuals seeking treatment for
caffeine use were interested in one-on-
one counseling, 12% were interested in
group counseling, 25% were interested
in a self-help booklet, and 4% were
interested in phone-based assistance.
14.
Indian Context
Not much research done in the Indian
context
Sharma & Poornima (2015) conducted
a study on the pattern of caffeine use
among teenagers in Bangalore.
Findings :
o Dairy Milk chocolate most frequently
consumed
o Espresso least frequently consumed
o 54.5% expressed a strong desire to
consume caffeinated products
o Withdrawal symptoms, functional
impairment, and craving were cited as
reasons they failed to eliminate or cut
back on caffeine use.
15.
Indian Context
o It includes disturbing social
functioning (5.7%), family
functioning (7.5%), and academic
performance (7.5%).
o 6.6% had a life time abstinence
from caffeine products, which
includes tea (4.7%), coffee,
chocolate and energy drinks
(18%).
o They attributed its maintenance
of use to personal reasons and
stress (64.3%), interpersonal
disturbance (30.2%), and media
(7.5%).
o 14.6% also had the history of use
of other substances like tobacco
and alcohol.
16.
Internet Gaming
Disorder
Condition for Further
Study in the DSM-5

Persistent and recurrent
use of the Internet to
engage in games, often
with other players,
leading to clinically
significant impairment
or distress
17.
Diagnostic Criteria
Preoccupation with such games
Withdrawal symptoms of irritability,
anxiety, or sadness
Development of tolerance
Unsuccessful attempts to control the

knowledge of psychosocial problems
Deceiving others regarding the
amount of time spent gaming
Use of this behavior to escape or
relieve a negative mood
Jeopardizing/losing a significant
relationship/job/educational
opportunity
18.
Diagnostic Criteria
For a diagnosis of IGD,
the DSM-5 requires at
least five of the nine
criteria for IGD. In
contrast, it requires only
two criteria for a
diagnosis of substance
use disorder.
Internet-based gambling
is not included in the
diagnostic criteria
IGD and casual gaming
