dont get the sub question.but if i understand it the way i think:

if he has the symptoms normally ie generalised social anxiety u treat with an SSRI but since its not among the choices, 2nd option is an MAO Iinhibitor, but if he experiences it while on stage then its a beta blocker .eg propranolol

  #1055

Answer to the q on the last page .... I think it is substance abuse in men and depression in women.

BSc in Small doses.

A 19-year-old female, who recently moved from her family's home in another state, is hospitalized for attempting suicide by taking an overdose of antidepressant medications. On the third day of her hospital stay, she insists, under threat of a lawsuit, that her medications be stopped and that she be discharged from the hospital so she
"can go home and finish the job." Her sensorium is clear. Her physician should


A. discharge her against medical advice (AMA)

B. honor her request and release her immediately

C. obtain an emergency order of detention

D. release her to go back to her parents' home

E. sedate her

A 22-year-old female college student is brought into the emergency room by the police, who found her walking back and forth across a busy street, talking to herself. The young woman appears to be oriented with respect to person, place, and time. Her first hospital admission was two months ago for a similar condition. During a psychiatric interview, she has difficulty concentrating, and seems to hear voices. A phone call to her sister provides the additional information that the girl dropped out of school three months ago and has been living on the street. Urine toxicology is negative. This patient is most likely exhibiting the signs and symptoms of


A. schizoaffective disorder

B. schizoid personality disorder

C. schizophrenia

D. schizophreniform disorder

E. schizotypal personality disorder

So SSS u are doing pharmac as in ur done with micro and anat? are u sure u are studying and not jumping?gringrin

  #1068

have not started reading micro and practically been on the same page in my anat, well the issue is this since i dont read unless i have a deadline like we had in bsc, then i can as well work with that, maybe doing it with you guys and a deadline will make me open my book ,as long as its making me look at ma books ve accepted that as ma fate and decided to work with it at least at this stage of 1st read;D

  #1069

You are right mytime , I am wrong with choice E . It could be D..... but I am not sure........why not A ????raised eyebrow

I definitely need to go through chapter 12 again sad

SSS , same is the case here . I have never read a subject like I read Beh.Sc. .... I mean so consistently.

Hi friends,
I am terribly sorry to keep you waiting for answers.

SSS, Hereare the answs to earlier set of Qns.

Yes , D is correct for Q1. Pt has a clear mind was competent when the consent was given. Doctor has to respect the pt's deciscion.

Second Qn- Well I am not reading the latest Kaplan
These syndromes are given in First Aid for differential diagnosis of Autistic disorders. That is all.
The answer is A--
It is autistic like disorder without marked language and cognitive delays. They are unable to show emotions or attachment to other people.Also associted with clumsiness and poor social behaviour.

B-This child does not exibit severe disbility. So it can not be Autistic.
C. In Childhood disintergrative disorder (CDD) they say the child develope normally till about 2 years and then become mentally retarded. So history exclude this condition.
D. Here again these children are said to be not mentally retarded and they have no difficulty other than with speech. In the Qn, the child has relationship problem with others.
E. Rett's Synd is an X linked condition seen only in Girls(Boys die at birth) It is associated with neurodevelopmental regression and mentl retardation according to the text.

Thank You

  #1074

Answers to second set of Qns


1.The most appropiate answer is C
The physician should obtain an emergency order of detention, regardless of her
threats of a lawsuit. The woman clearly still has suicidal intent, demonstrated by her expressed verbalizations, and is therefore a danger to herself.
Choices A, B, and D clearly place her in a position where she can carry out her plans to terminate her life.
E is the second best choice since it will prevent her from taking her life; however, sedation does not give therapists the opportunity to address the underlying motivations for her suicidal deation.


2. The correct answer is D
Schizophreniform disorder is characterized by schizophrenia-like symptoms, but the duration of symptoms is less than six months.
In schizoaffective disorder (choice A), alterations in mood are present during a substantial portion of the illness.
Schizoid personality disorder (choice B) is not accompanied by a marked decline in occupational functioning.
If the symptoms do not remit after six months or more, then the diagnosis of schizophrenia (choice C) should be made.
Schizotypal personality disorder (choice E) is characterized by eccentricities of behavior, odd beliefs or magical thinking, and difficulties with social and interpersonal relationships. Unlike schizophrenia, schizotypal personality disorder is not characterized by a formal thought disorder.

Thank you.Good Luck
