chronic worrying on a daily basis for 6+ months. Worrying is out of proportion
with reality. Other signs & symptoms of anxiety are included
GAD:
person manifests exaggerated fear (commonly insects, animals, life experiences
such as roller coasters, etc)
Phobic disorders:
manifested by the performance of an anxiety-relieving ritual (compulsion) to
terminate a disturbing, persistent, and recurring thought (obsession) (ex:
cleaning, checking, counting, touching, repeating)
OCD:
a delayed anxiety response 3+ months after an emotionally traumatic experience
PTSD
,sad feeling directly attributed to a situation or cause (loss of loved one). Also
called reactive depression
Secondary depression:
sad mood with no obvious relationship to situational events. Often a comorbid
(coexisting) condition among people with anxiety disorders and substance use
disorders
Major depression:
onset during darker winter months and spontaneously disappears in spring
SAD:
assume that if client is depressed, they are also suicidal. Use assessment (blunt
questions, SLAP (specificity, lethality, availability, proximity). If client is
suicidal, has a lethal plan, means to carry it out and no one nearby for rescue
must take it very seriously
Suicidology:
cycling among depressive, euthymic, and euphoric moods
Bipolar:
characterized by an obsession for thinness achieved through self-starvation.
More common in women
Anorexia nervosa:

fasting/exercise). Must have persisted 6 months

characterized as the inability to control overeating, accompanied by a guilty
feeling
Binge eating

compulsive eating
, chronic, progressive, multisystem disease characterized by an inability to

CNS stimulants. Different modes on ingestion (cocaine as powder is snorted or
dissolved and injected intravenously. Crack is smoked. Meth is usually smoked
or injected intravenously). Both give CNS stimulation

True or false: You May have both binge and compulsive eating
true
Risk factors contributing to mental health challenges.
Anxiety can be constructive (ex: mild - causes you to study for a test). But when

perception of information, disorganized & distorted thinking, physical &
