Feeding and Eating Disorders/Elimination Disorders/Sleep-Wake Disorders Flashcards
Despite the fact that they are severely underweight, these patients see themselves as fat
Anorexia nervosa
These patients eat in binges, then prevent weight gain by self-induced vomiting, purging, and exercise. Although appearance is important to their self-evaluations, they do not have the body image distortion characteristic of anorexia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa
These patients eat in binges, but do not try to compensate by vomiting, exercising, or using laxatives
Binge-eating disorder
The patient eats material that is not food
Pica
The person persistently regurgitates and re-chews food already eaten
Rumination disorder
An individual’s failure to eat enough leads to weight loss or a failure to gain weight
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder
Use one of these categories for a disorder of feeding or eating that does not meet the criteria for any of those mentioned above
Other specified, or unspecified, feeding or eating disorder
It can be comorbid with a medical condition, primary (when there’s no discernible cause), or comorbid with another sleep disorder or mental disorder (most often encountered in patients suffering from major depressive episodes, manic episodes, or even panic attacks)
Insomnia disorder
Breathing problems during sleep
Sleep apnea
Excessive drowsiness or sleepiness can accompany mental or medical disorders, or other sleep disorders; sometimes it’s primary
Hypersomnolence disorder
These people experience a crushing need to sleep, regardless of time of day, causing them to fall asleep almost instantly—sometimes, even when standing. They may also have sleep paralysis, sudden loss of strength (cataplexy), and hallucinations as they fall asleep or awaken
Narcolepsy
These patients cry out in apparent fear during the first part of the night. Often they don’t really wake up at all. This behavior is considered pathological only in adults, not children
Non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep arousal disorder, sleep terror type
Persistent sleepwalking usually occurs early in the night
Non-REM sleep arousal disorder, sleepwalking type
These patients awaken from REM sleep to speak or thrash about, sometimes injuring themselves or bed partners
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder
Bad dreams trouble some people more than others
Nightmare disorder
