DSM-5 STUDY GUIDE

ANXIETY DISORDERS Excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioral disturbances Fear – emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat (e.g. arousal for fight or flight,

thoughts of immediate danger, escape behaviors) Anxiety – anticipation of future threat (e.g. muscle tension, vigilance, cautious or avoidant

behaviors) Panic attack – particular type of fear response prominent within anxiety disorders Anxiety disorders are best differentiated by the types of situations feared or avoided and

content of associated thoughts or beliefs Transient fear or anxiety (often stress-induced and temporary) vs. Anxiety disorder

(persistent, usually 6 months or more) Fear or anxiety is excessive or out of proportion Sex Ratio: Female-Male: 2:1 Panic attacks (may be expected – response to typically feared object or situation; unexpected –

occurs for no apparent reason) Generalized Anxiety Disorder – persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about various

domains which are difficult to control in addition to physical symptoms such as restlessness, easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and sleep disturbance

Neurocognitive Disorders Group of disorders in which the primary clinical deficit is in cognitive function and that are

acquired rather than developmental Neurocognitive domains: Complex attention, Executive function, Learning and memory,

Language, Perceptual-motor, Social cognition Sustained attention: maintenance of attention over time Selective attention: maintenance of attention despite competing stimuli and/or distracters Divided attention: attending to two tasks within the same time period Planning: ability to find the exit to a maze Decision making: performance of tasks that assess process of deciding in the face of competing

alternatives Working memory: ability to hold information for a brief period and to manipulate it Feedback/error utilization: ability to benefit from feedback to infer the rules for solving a

problem Overriding habits/inhibition: ability to choose a more complex and effortful solution to be

correct Mental/cognitive flexibility: ability to shift between two concepts, tasks or response rules Immediate memory span: ability to repeat a list of words or digits Recent memory: assesses the process of encoding new information through free recall, cued

recall and recognition memory Expressive language: confrontational naming, fluency or phonemic Grammar and syntax: omission or incorrect use of articles, prepositions, auxiliary verbs Receptive language: comprehension; performance of actions/activities according to verbal

command Visual perception: line bisection tasks can be used to detect basic visual defect or attentional

neglect Visuoconstructional: assembly of items required hand-eye coordination, such as drawing,

copying and block assembly Perceptual-motor: integrating perception with purposeful movement Praxis: integrity of learned movements, such as ability to imitate gestures or pantomime use of

objects to command Gnosis: perceptual integrity of awareness and recognition, such as recognition of faces and

colors Recognition of emotions: identification of emotion in images of faces representing a variety of

both positive and negative emotions Theory of mind: ability to consider another person’s mental state (thoughts, desires, intentions)

or experience Delirium – disturbance of attention or awareness accompanied by a change in baseline

cognition, that is a direct physiological consequence of another medical condition, substance intoxication or withdrawal, or toxin exposure, or combination of these factors
