Please complete the below table and the questions following:
What I know about schizophrenia
What I think I know about schizophrenia
What I want to learn about schizophrenia
Today, we’ll be watching a brief video clip featuring Jerry, a young man diagnosed with schizophrenia. Pay close attention, as you will need to answer the questions below…
The link to the video is below. (You only need to watch the first 5 minutes or so): Link links
to an external site.
Describe Jerry’s presentation. What is unusual/abnormal about his behavior?
Compare the abnormalities you described with diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in DSM-V (see below).
What do you think causes schizophrenia?
Use the internet or other source(s) to describe at least two abnormalities in the brains of people with schizophrenia.
Thought question (can use internet or other source): What neurotransmitter system(s) are implicated in schizophrenia, and how do antipsychotic medications affect them?
Summary of DSM-V criteria for the diagnosis of Schizophrenia:
Characteristic symptoms: Two (or more) of the following, each present for a significant portion of time during a 1-month period (or less if successfully treated). At least one of these should include 1-31. Delusions2. Hallucinations3. Disorganized speech4. Grossly abnormal psychomotor behavior, such as catatonia5. Negative symptoms, i.e., restricted affect or avolition/asociality
Social/occupational dysfunction: For a significant portion of the time since the onset of the disturbance, one or more major areas of functioning such as work, interpersonal relations, or self-care are markedly below the level achieved prior to the onset (or when the onset is in childhood or adolescence, failure to achieve expected level of interpersonal, academic, or occupational achievement).
Duration: Continuous signs of the disturbance persist for at least 6 months. This 6-month period must include at least 1 month of symptoms (or less if successfully treated) that meet Criterion A (i.e., active-phase symptoms) and may include periods of prodromal or residual symptoms. During these prodromal or residual periods, the signs of the disturbance may be manifested by only negative symptoms or two or more symptoms listed in Criterion A present in an attenuated form (e.g., odd beliefs, unusual perceptual experiences).
Schizoaffective and Mood Disorder exclusion: Schizoaffective Disorder and Mood Disorder With Psychotic Features have been ruled out because either (1) no Major Depressive or Manic Episodes have occurred concurrently with the active phase symptoms; or (2) if mood episodes have occurred during active-phase symptoms, their total duration has been brief relative to the duration of the active and residual periods.
Substance/general medical condition exclusion: The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition.
Relationship to a Pervasive Developmental Disorder: If there is a history of Autistic Disorder or another Pervasive Developmental Disorder or other communication disorder of childhood onset, the additional diagnosis of Schizophrenia is made only if prominent delusions or hallucinations are also present for at least a month (or less if successfully treated).
Dr. Diaz-Asper
“No single gene is necessary or sufficient to
determine the disease, rather a combination of
risk genes with small effects describe the
highly heterogeneous genetic basis of
schizophrenia.”
Trifu et al., 2020

“Schizophrenia is a multifactorial disorder,
which encompasses the interplay of
multiple susceptibility genes, epigenetic
processes and environmental factors.”
Trifu et al., 2020

Psychosis may result from conditions
associated with high levels of DA activity:
– Disorder: Schizophrenia
– Drugs: Levodopa (l-dopa),
Methamphetamine, Cocaine
Normal levels of DA activity
Motor disturbances & relief from psychotic
symptoms may result from conditions associated
with low levels of DA activity:
– Disorder: Parkinson’s disease
– Drugs: DA antagonists (phenothiazines)
