Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion.

We will delve into various anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Phobic Disorders, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Although these disorders share the core feature of anxiety, each manifests in unique ways.

Psychology | EP 75 | Psychotic and Neurotic Disorders | Optional | UPSC podcast
Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube at www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion. Today, we will explore the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) with a focus on two major categories: psychotic and neurotic disorders. Psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and delusional disorders, involve a detachment from reality, leading to significant disturbances in thought, behavior, and emotion. Schizophrenia, characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and cognitive disorganization, will be examined alongside its types, causes, and treatment options. Neurotic disorders, or anxiety disorders, involve persistent yet milder psychological symptoms, with individuals remaining in touch with reality. We'll also delve into personality and mood disorders, such as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder, exploring their symptoms, causes, and treatment approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication. Understanding these mental health conditions is essential for diagnosing and improving patient outcomes. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAS #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity
