Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Types, Techniques, Uses - Verywell Mind

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions.

Positive Symptoms in Schizophrenia - Verywell Mind

The typical positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinatory experiences or fixed delusional beliefs, tend to be very upsetting and disruptive—not a positive experience at all for you or someone you care about who is experiencing them. From the outside, a person with positive symptoms might seem distracted, as if they are listening to something. Psychiatrists call this " responding to internal stimuli ". They may have difficulty formulating their thoughts, and they speak in what is known as " word salad ". So why are these types of symptoms called "positive"? In the medical world, positive and negative do not equate to good and bad. The phrase "positive symptoms" refers to symptoms that are in excess or added to normal mental functioning. The positive symptoms of schizophrenia according to the DSM-5-TR are hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts, and abnormal motor be...

The dark side of cannabis: increased risk of psychosis - Kevin MD

Psychosis is a broad term that describes a change in the perception of reality. It can be caused by various conditions, including metabolic, psychiatric, neurologic, genetic, and other medical conditions, as well as licit and illicit substances, particularly cannabis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) states that abnormalities define these disorders in one or more of the following five domains: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking (speech), grossly disorganized or abnormal motor behavior (including catatonia), and negative symptoms. Cannabis-induced psychosis has been subject to debate but is becoming more prevalent in areas where use rates are increasing. This increase may be related to improved diagnostic evaluation, medical coding, increased understanding of the condition, and increased cannabis potency. Studies have shown a 3-fold increased risk of psychosis with "skunk," which is generally accepted as cannabis ...

Paul Eugen Bleuler and the Birth of Schizophrenia (1908) - Am J Psychiatry

The term "schizophrenia" was coined 100 years ago, on April 24, 1908, when Paul Eugen Bleuler gave a lecture at a meeting of the German Psychiatric Association in Berlin (1): "For the sake of further discussion I wish to emphasize that in Kraepelin's dementia praecox it is neither a question of an essential dementia nor of a necessary precociousness. For this reason, and because from the expression dementia praecox one cannot form further adjectives nor substantives, I am taking the liberty of employing the word schizophrenia for revising the Kraepelinian concept. In my opinion the breaking up or splitting of psychic functioning is an excellent symptom of the whole group" (2). Kraepelin's use of "dementia" derived from the Latin word mens and the prefix de-, expressing privation; it was a noun that implied a static condition. While Kraepeli...
