manipulate the thoughts of others

Sometimes psychosis emerges gradually
over time, so that in the early stages symptoms
might be dismissed or ignored. Other times,

12. What causes psychosis?
When psychosis occurs for the first
time it is difficult to know the cause.
Psychosis is associated with a number of medical
conditions including schizophrenia, depression,
bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder and
substance abuse, among others. Because the first
episode of psychosis can signal a variety of
conditions, it is important to seek a thorough
medical assessment.

13. 1.Anxiety disorders: People with anxiety disorders respond to
certain objects or situations with fear and dread, as well as with
physical signs of anxiety or nervousness, such as a rapid heartbeat
and sweating. An anxiety disorder is diagnosed if the person's
response is not appropriate for the situation, if the person cannot
control the response or if the anxiety interferes with normal
functioning. Anxiety disorders include
generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder,
social anxiety disorder and specific phobias.
2.Mood disorders: These disorders, also called affective disorders,
involve persistent feelings of sadness or periods of feeling overly
happy, or fluctuations from extreme happiness to extreme
sadness. The most common mood disorders are depression, mania
and bipolar disorder.
3.Psychotic disorders: Psychotic disorders involve distorted
awareness and thinking. Two of the most common symptoms of
psychotic disorders are hallucinations -- the experience of images
or sounds that are not real, such as hearing voices -- and delusions
-- false beliefs that the ill person accepts as true, despite evidence
to the contrary. Schizophrenia is an example of a psychotic
disorder.

14. attitudes and behaviors involving weight and food. Anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are the most
common eating disorders.
2.Impulse control and addiction disorders: People with impulse
control disorders are unable to resist urges, or impulses, to
perform acts that could be harmful to themselves or others.
Pyromania (starting fires), kleptomania (stealing) and compulsive
gambling are examples of impulse control disorders. Alcohol and
drugs are common objects of addictions. Often, people with these
disorders become so involved with the objects of their addiction
that they begin to ignore responsibilities and relationships.
3.Personality disorders: People with personality disorders have
extreme and inflexible personality traits that are distressing to the
person and/or cause problems in work, school or social
relationships. In addition, the person's patterns of thinking and
behavior significantly differ from the expectations of society and
are so rigid that they interfere with the person's normal
functioning. Examples include antisocial personality disorder,
obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and paranoid
personality disorder.

15. event or situation. The stressors may include natural disasters, such as an
earthquake or tornado; events or crises, such as a car accident or the
diagnosis of a major illness; or interpersonal problems, such as a divorce,
death of a loved one, loss of a job or a problem with substance abuse.
Adjustment disorder usually begins within three months of the event or
situation and ends within six months after the stressor stops or is
eliminated.
2.Dissociative disorders: People with these disorders suffer severe
disturbances or changes in memory, consciousness, identity, and general
awareness of themselves and their surroundings. These disorders usually
are associated with overwhelming stress, which may be the result of
traumatic events, accidents or disasters that may be experienced or
witnessed by the individual. Dissociative identity disorder, formerly called
multiple personality disorder, or "split personality", and depersonalization
disorder are examples of dissociative disorders.
3.Factitious disorders: Factitious disorders are conditions in which
physical and/or emotional symptoms are experienced in order to place
the individual in the role of a patient or a person in need of help.
4.Sexual and gender disorders: These include disorders that affect
sexual desire, performance and behavior. Sexual dysfunction, gender
identity disorder and the paraphilias are examples of sexual and gender
disorders.
5.Somatoform disorders: A person with a somatoform disorder, formerly
known as psychosomatic disorder, experiences physical symptoms of an
illness even though a doctor can find no medical cause for the symptoms.
