PSYC 385 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Automatic Negative Thoughts, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Light Therapy
Document Summary
Latent (existing but not yet developed) cognitive diathesis. Depressive thoughts are not only singled out to one"s self", but someone with depression will have thoughts regarding the future and the world. The chart above depicts how we react to situations in our life, and whether or not we react to them internally or externally. For example; when we fail we tend to attribute that failure to someone else. Cognitive response to distress, sadness, or stressor: why is this happening? ; why do i feel this way? , failure to disengage. Unipolar mood disorders: treatments review for exam. Ect (electro compulsive therapy) and tms (transcranial magnetic stimulation) Tricyclics: ex: imipramine, increase monoamine availability broadly. Ssri"s: ex: prozac, increase 5-ht availability. Atypical: ex: effexor, ssnri (increase availability of 5-ht & ne) Maoi"s: ex: nardil, less breakdown of monoamines (5-ht, ne, da) at synapse. N ~180, chronic ptsd (m=12. 0 years); random assignment, double-blind. ~3 5 weeks to take effect.
