PSICOSE: O QUE É, QUAIS OS TIPOS, E O QUE CAUSA?

And for a long time in the history of humanity it was believed that Psychosis and madness were synonymous but with the advancement of Science Today we know that it is far from being true but after all what Psychosis did in this video I will explain to you what is the Psychosis and what are its types and what are the possible causes Psychosis is a term that is difficult to conceptualize, often being quite misused both by the media and even by health professionals, the concept of Psychosis is associated with stigma that generates fear because many people

they imagine that it is the same thing as madness, which in fact is not true Psychosis is a syndrome That is, it is a set of symptoms that are present in different psychiatric disorders the main symptoms related to Psychosis are delusions and hallucinations and thought disorders Ok let's take it easy and I'll explain to you what each of these symptoms means delusion A classified as strong irr beliefs actions that are not part of the patient's culture or social environment, in addition, they can be characterized through the plausibility of belief in bizarre and non-bizarre, the example

of theirs bizarre are those stories of patients who are in a Psychotic outbreak who believe that some family member of them was exchanged either for extraterrestrials or for some kind of different entity already A Good example of not bizarre are the stories of patients in psychotic outbreaks who believe that there is a Plot that there is a conspiracy to be able to murder him I will be able to harm him in some way many sometimes this being related to those constructions that the family is planning something against him hallucinations are sensory experiences of content that

in fact is not present what is happening at the moment people often get confused Nations conclusions but it is important to keep in mind that the illusion is a distortion or misinterpretation of real stimuli while hallucinations are sensations of stimuli that do not exist but are often auditory or visual Although we can have it with basically all the senses that we have in our body, an extremely interesting game that plays a little with these sensations caused by auditory hallucinations is the Hell Blade game senua's Sacrifice on and bye thought disorders are characterized as dysfunctions in

the patient's verbal communication where he begins to have problems with fluency and production of his own speech or thought That is, when the patient begins to have difficulties in being able to speaking difficulties to express oneself in an organized way and ends up having a loss in the ability of verbal communication in general There are three different types of Psychosis Paranoid psychosis Psychosis ranging from organized or excited EA Depressive psychosis all halogenation perceptual distortions Delusion and thought disorder can be present in the three different types of Psychosis in Psychosis paranoid as its name says, the

patient can present several conspiracy theories that will make him believe that he is being persecuted both in the idea that someone is planning And then he and in the idea that there is a Plot that fights against him that fights against the his success or general well-being the patient who presents Psychosis to us often also presents megalomania that feeling of superiority or an irrational belief that he has extraordinary or unusual powers in reorganized Psychosis Like himself name Makes the patient clear and becomes disorganized in time and space, causing him to have no idea where he

is How old is he or even what year he is living In addition, it is very common for patients to have a hasty speech a very accelerated thought and a said total connection of the argument that he is building there during the speech that is, he will be very restless agitated and if I don't know where he is now Depressive psychosis is characterized by psychomotor retardation and apathy Although obviously the hallucinations and Delusions present in this type of Psychosis both apathy and psychomotor retardation are present in slurred speech and in the difficulty of building any

type of argument made by the patient, that is, he literally slows down, becomes slow, begins to move strangely or in a more slurred way. And this also impairs his ability to communicate verbally. In addition, feelings of guilt and self-sabotage are quite present in this type of Psychosis causing the patient to always have irrational beliefs that he is guilty of some kind of absurd thing and causing him to end up having greater apathy and signs of depression it is extremely important to make it clear that it is psychosis as a set of symptoms is present in

many different psychiatric disorders but its presence does not mean you are developing the specific type of psychiatric disorder in fact we have some disorders in which Psychosis is a defining characteristic such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder while other disorders with a price mania may present Psychosis as an associated symptom but it is not characteristic but Bruno what causes the Psychosis well I'll answer that but how about you left a like below if you're enjoying this video so you can help me grow the channel well until today we don't have a very definitive answer to what

causes Psychosis the main hypothesis of The work we currently have shows that Psychosis e may be related to an imbalance in a specific part of the brain called the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway I've already talked a lot about beer for minors than in another video here on the channel that I'll leave at home in the description In case you guys want to know a little more about how dopamine works in our brain but essentially te you mesolimbic pathway is the reward center of our brain and its hyperactivity is related to Psychosis largely because of studies that

have managed to demonstrate that cocaine users or other mines that make a big shot of this mesolimbic pathway can have psychoses In addition, this hypothesis is also supported by the idea of ​​the effectiveness of typical and atypical antipsychotics in improving psychosis since they are able to decrease the dopaminergic center activity of this mesolimbic pathway. Action of antipsychotics is a very interesting subject that I will also bring up here on the channel If you want and leave a comment below But it is obvious that this model is still quite reductionist since there is a range of

other neurotransmitter systems such as opioids, glutamate and even serotonergic transmissions that would be involved with Psychosis Beyond In addition, other circuits such as the prefrontal cortex are likely to have Also related to the different symptoms of the different types of Psychosis finally we have other studies that are finding possible genetic causes of alterations in the dopaminergic transmission capacity in different centers of our brain playing this probably with the greater vulnerability of the emergence of psychotic outbreaks But of anyway , what we have until today is that imbalances in the dopaminergic pathways, energetic and glutamatergic instructor,

mainly in the connection between the mesolimbic pathway and the prefrontal cortex, are probably the causes of how these psychotic outbreaks arise, well if I brought some content of value to you I ask you to leave your like below and subscribe to the channel if you are not already subscribed Thank you very much for your attention and see you later
