Through this organization, which was created in 1948, the health professions of some 180 countries exchange their knowledge and experience with the aim of making possible the attainment by all citizens of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life. By means of direct technical cooperation with its Member States, and by stimulating such cooperation among them, WHO promotes the development of comprehensive health services, the prevention and control of diseases, the improvement of environmental conditions, the development of human resources for health, the coordination and development of biomedical and health services research, and the planning and implementation of health programmes. These broad fields of endeavour encompass a wide variety of activities, such as developing systems of primary health care that reach the whole population of Member countries; promoting the health of mothers and children; combating malnutrition; controlling malaria and other communicable diseases including tuberculosis and leprosy; coordinating the global strategy for the prevention and control of AIDS; having achieved the eradication of smallpox, promoting mass immunization against a number of other

    Impulse Control Disorders: Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Kleptomania, and Pyromania Jonathan L. Kirsch, MD1 Daphne Simeon, MD2 Heather Berlin, PhD, MPH3 Eric Hollander, MD1 1Department of Psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY, USA 2Department of Psychiatry, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY, USA 3Departments of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA Psychiatry, Fourth Edition. Edited by Allan Tasman, Jerald Kay, Jeffrey A. Lieberman, Michael B. First and Michelle Riba, 2014, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. This chapter is based in part on the chapter “Impulse Control Disorders” by Daphne Simeon and Heather Berlin that appeared in Psychiatry, Third Edition, edited by Allan Tasman, Jerald Kay, Jeffrey A. Lieberman, Michael B. First, and Mario Maj, 2008, John Wiley & Sons Ltd. ISBN: 978-0-470-06571-6. 1 Abstract The impulse control disorders (intermittent explosive disorder, kleptomania, and pyromania) share the feature of the irresistible urge to act in a given way. Effort to resist may be associated with increasing tension, giving rise to further need to act on the given impulse. This chapter reviews clinical features, epidemiology, neurobiology and clinical interventions. Keywords Impulse control disorders, impulsivity, intermittent explosive disorder, kleptomania, pyromania Introduction Although dissimilar in behavioral expressions, the disorders in this chapter share the feature of impulse dyscontrol. Individuals who experience such dyscontrol are overwhelmed by the urge to commit certain acts that are often apparently illogical or harmful (McElroy et al. 1992). Whereas impulse-control disorders (ICDs) were once conceptualized as either addictive or compulsive behaviors, in the DSM-V (American Psychiatric Association 2013) impulsive behavior is recognized as an important feature in numerous psychiatric diagnoses.

Monique Moore A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate in Philosophy in the Department of Psychology (Clinical Psychology). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Joseph Lowman, Ph.D Andrea M. Hussong, Ph.D Abigail Panter, Ph.D Mitchell J. Prinstein, Ph.D Donald Baucom, Ph.D ABSTRACT MONIQUE MOORE: Compulsive Shopping Disorder: Is It Real And Can It Be Measured? (Under the direction Joseph Lowman, Ph.D) In recent decades, diagnostic criteria to identify individuals who repeatedly engage in extreme and problematic over-spending have been proposed and used by clinicians and researchers. A prolonged pattern of over-spending that interferes with life- functioning is referred to as “compulsive shopping” or “compulsive buying” disorder. Some investigators have argued that individuals suffering from the disorder are numerous enough to merit the syndrome’s inclusion in the next version of the DSM. Despite growing clinical and mainstream attention to compulsive shopping, several key issues stand in the way of the syndrome’s inclusion in the DSM. First, measures used to identify individuals with compulsive shopping disorder have not been adequately tested. Therefore, it remains uncertain whether psychometrically valid and reliable screeners exist. Second, debates over how to best classify compulsive shopping behaviors remain unresolved. While some investigators argue that compulsive shopping should be classified as a sub-type of impulse-control disorder, others argue that it should be classified as a sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder or addiction.

  • Mental Health Glossary
    Glossary Acute: means that something (usually a disorder or a symptom) has come on quickly with a high degree of impact on a person. Addiction: is continuing to use a substance (for example: alcohol or cocaine) for nonmedical purposes despite wanting or trying to stop using it. Addictions have a negative impact on many areas of a person’s functioning in life. For example, if a person’s substance use gets in the way of positive relationships with friends or family; success at school or work, it is interfering with their life. An addiction is characterized by: abuse of a chemical; behaviour of drug seeking and daily focus on the drug; craving for the substance. People who are addicted will often experience withdrawal when they stop using a substance. But, withdrawal does not equal addiction. Withdrawal is a common physical response to quickly stopping a chemical that affects the brain. Affect: Is the emotional experience that someone feels inside of themselves that can be recognized by others. For example: if you are looking/acting sad you can be recognized by someone else as you are feeling sad. Agoraphobia: a fear and avoidance of situations where you might feel unsafe or unable to escape if you have a panic attack. Anhedonia: is a word used to describe a lack of pleasure. Sometimes, people suffering with depression will experience anhedonia. For example, the person doesn’t feel good when they are doing the things that normally make them feel good, such as playing a favorite game, swimming, watching movies, etc. Anhedonia due to depression will get better once the depression has been successfully treated.

    List of manias with meanings pdf Continue Sometimes when I look at what I've created in Phrontistery, I start to think that I'm more than a little crazy and must be suffering from recruiting. However, I probably don't officially have any of the 142 manias or obsessions listed below. Some of these words of mania represent clinical diseases, while others are just playful. They show a range of unusual and strange things that can become possessed. These words are in the main dictionaries; No doubt, there are many others, given that, like phobias, mania is easy to form by taking the root word from Latin or Greek and attaching a suffix mania. Also, my word is a list of types of love and attraction or filia, some of which point to pathological attractions.
