- This presentation will summarize how psychological disorders are classified including the role of DSM IV.
- Psychological disorders are behaviors or mental processes which are connected with various kinds of distress or impaired functioning. They are considered to be unexpected responses to specific situations.
- The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual uses a “multi axial” system of acccessment which provides information about a person’s overall functioning and not just a diagnosis. Example : people may receive Axis I or Axis II, and sometimes it may be a combination of the two. Axis I : Clinical Syndromes which are disorders that may impair functioning and which are stressful to the individual such as substance abuse, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, somatoform disorders, and dissociative disorders. Axis II : Personality Disorders, which include deep-seated maladaptive ways of relating to others and behaviors that are stressful to the individual, or to persons with whom they interact and relate. Axis III : General Medical Conditions which include, chronic and acute illnesses, injuries, allergies, and so forth, that may be affecting functioning and treatment. Axis IV : Psychosocial and Environmental Problems, identifies stressors that have transpired over the past year that may have contributing factors or development of a new mental disorder or a recurrence of a prior disorder, or a factor in which may have intensified an existing disorder. Axis V : Global Assessment Functioning, is an overall judgment which is based on a 1- 100 scale of the person’s current level of functioning, and highest level of functioning within the last year according to psychosocial, social, and occupational criterion.
- Anxiety is an emotional state which is accompanied by subjective, physical, and behavioral features. Anxiety disorders are characterized by motor tension, feelings of dread, irrational and excessive fears, and over arousal of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system.

Most causes of schizophrenia remain elusive and may be from complications in childbirth and quality of parenting. Although, researchers believe that schizophrenia is a brain disorder which can arise from a combination of factors, including heredity, abnormal brain development, and stressful life experiences. Types of schizophrenia are paranoid schizophrenphia, catatonic schizophrenia, and disorganized schizophrenia.
- Personality disorders are enduring patterns of maladaptive behaviors that are the source of distress to the individual and to others. These patterns are maladaptive and inflexible, causing difficulties personal, occupational, and social functioning.
