Term
DSM5 Criteria for Schizophrenia
Definition
At least 2 symptoms for a significant period of time for at least a one month period.
At least one of the symptoms must be (1), (2), or (3):

1)Delusions- Positive Symptom
2)Hallucinations- Positive Symptom
3)Disorganized Speech- Positive Symptom
4)Grossly Disorganized/Catatonic
5)Negative Symptoms

Social/Occupational Dysfunction: > or = 1 area of functioning below level prior to onset of illness
-Work
-Interpersonal relationships
-Self-care

Duration: Contiunous sign of disturbance for > or = 6 months

** This may include a prodromal phase where they act bizarre or display withdrawal symptoms before psychosis sets in.
Term
DSM5 Criteria for Schizoaffective Disorder
Definition
1) Major depressive, manic, or mixed episode concurrent with symptoms of schizophrenia

2) Must have had > or = 2 week period where delusions or hallucinations were present in the absence of prominent mood symptoms

3) Symptoms that meet criteria for major mood episode are present for majority of total duration of illness

**They are always psychotic, even if they are not manic or depressed; they are still having hallucinations or delusions. It is essentially, schizophrenia + bipolar

SAFD Subtypes:
-Bipolar Type: manic or mixed +/- major depressive episode
-Depressive Type: mood disturbances only include depression

At least 4 weeks at therapeutic dose
Term

Term
Typical Characteristics of 1st Generation Antipsychotics
Definition
-Dopamine (D2) receptor blockade
-Alleviates primarily positive symptoms
-Increases EPS, prolactin, and TDs
-Inexpensive
Term
Typical characteristics of 2nd Generation Antipsychotics
Definition
-Increased 5HT2 blockade compared to D2. Indirectly increases dopamine levels in parts of the brain where it is low.
-Thought it would treat neg/cognitive symptoms, but we have not seen this clinically
-Decreases EPS, prolactin, and TDs
-Increases Metabolic Symptoms (BP, glucose, lipids, weight gain)
-More expensive
