disorders Flashcards
Autism- biological
ASD is believed to have a strong genetic component, and research suggests abnormalities in brain structure and function, particularly in areas related to social interaction and communication.
Autism- Sensation/Perception
Individuals with ASD may experience sensory sensitivities or differences in how they perceive and process sensory information.
autism- Consciousness/Motivation/Emotion
Social challenges in ASD may be related to difficulties in understanding and responding to social cues, which can impact motivation and emotional experiences.
adhd- biological
ADHD is associated with alterations in neurotransmitter systems, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in attention and impulse control.
adhd- Sensation/Perception/Consciousness
Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty sustaining attention, and their consciousness may be easily distracted.
adhd- Motivation/Emotion
Impulsivity and difficulty regulating emotions are common in ADHD.
Schizophrenia- biological
Schizophrenia is associated with abnormalities in neurotransmitter systems, particularly dopamine, and structural brain changes.
Schizophrenia- Perception/Consciousness/Motivation/Emotion
Hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking are characteristic symptoms, affecting perception, consciousness, motivation, and emotion.
Depression- biological
Neurotransmitter imbalances, alterations in brain structure, and genetic factors are associated with depression.
depression emotion/motivation:
Depression involves persistent low mood, and loss of interest or pleasure, affecting motivation and emotional well-being.
anxiety disorders- biological
Imbalances in neurotransmitters, especially serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), are linked to anxiety.
anxiety disorders- Emotion/Motivation
Excessive worry, fear, and avoidance behaviors characterize anxiety disorders, affecting motivation and emotional states.
OCD- biological
Changes in serotonin levels are implicated, and structural abnormalities in certain brain regions may play a role.
OCD- Sensation/Perception/Motivation/Emotion
OCD involves intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that impact perception, motivation, and emotional well-being.
PTSD-biological
Neurobiological changes, including alterations in the amygdala and hippocampus, are associated with PTSD.
