WEBVTT

00:00:00.516 --> 00:00:03.099
(upbeat music)

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.650
Before we
begin we'd like to add

00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:09.710
a quick warning discretion.

00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:11.570
This video discusses mental illness

00:00:11.570 --> 00:00:13.973
including eating disorders and PTSD.

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:17.960
What is mental illness?

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.720
According to National
Alliance on Mental Illness,

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:22.880
it's defined as a condition that affects

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.610
a person's thinking, feeling or mood

00:00:25.610 --> 00:00:29.300
for a sustained period of time
that negatively impacts them.

00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:32.400
You might be wondering, is
depression a mental illness?

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:33.760
What about anxiety?

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:35.890
Yes, they are.

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:39.200
In fact, they're the most common
types of mental illnesses.

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.040
In this video, Psych2go covers 10

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.563
of the most common types
of mental illnesses.

00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:47.880
One, anxiety disorders.

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.120
We know 18.1% doesn't sound
like a lot but that's the number

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:56.160
of adults in the US who
suffer from anxiety disorders.

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.500
40 million people suffer from symptoms

00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:01.550
of an anxiety disorder every year.

00:01:01.550 --> 00:01:04.010
Of those 40 million people, it's estimated

00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:07.920
that only 36.9% of them will get help.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.830
Anxiety disorders rarely appear alone,

00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:13.910
with depression being
a common co-diagnosis.

00:01:13.910 --> 00:01:16.800
Anxiety disorders come in a few varieties,

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:21.200
generalized anxiety disorder,
GAD, panic disorder,

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.800
social anxiety disorder, SAD

00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:27.170
and obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD.

00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:31.070
So, what do all these anxiety
disorders have in common?

00:01:31.070 --> 00:01:33.940
They're all characterized by
nearly uncontrollable worry

00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:36.530
that messes with several
aspects of daily life

00:01:36.530 --> 00:01:40.810
such as sleep, relationships,
school and work.

00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:43.110
The good news is there are
several treatment options

00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:44.390
available, which include

00:01:44.390 --> 00:01:46.643
different types of therapy and medication.

00:01:47.860 --> 00:01:50.780
Two, personality disorders.

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.150
What does it mean when someone's
personality is disordered?

00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:57.370
Personality disorders refer
to behavioral, emotional

00:01:57.370 --> 00:01:59.400
and thought patterns that deviate greatly

00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.143
from the expectations of
an individualist culture.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.080
The National Institute
of Mental Health suggests

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:07.970
that 9.1 of the population has the traits

00:02:07.970 --> 00:02:09.949
of a personality disorder.

00:02:09.949 --> 00:02:12.540
So what does this look like in real life?

00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:15.060
Could anyone who's a little
different be diagnosed

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.020
with a personality disorder?

00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:20.912
Well, according to the
diagnostic criteria in the DSMV

00:02:20.912 --> 00:02:23.450
these differences must
be causing the individual

00:02:23.450 --> 00:02:25.610
significant amounts of distress

00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:29.530
in the way they see themselves,
others and situations,

00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:32.430
inappropriate or exaggerated
emotional responses,

00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:35.098
impulse control and how well
the individual relates to

00:02:35.098 --> 00:02:37.640
and functions around others.

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:40.420
Personality disorders can't
be cured but thankfully

00:02:40.420 --> 00:02:42.070
they can be treated.

00:02:42.070 --> 00:02:45.180
This treatment consists of
combinations of medications

00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:47.220
for the underlying mental health issues

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:48.513
as well as talk therapy.

00:02:50.150 --> 00:02:54.440
Three, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder.

00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:57.400
If we say ADHD what comes to mind?

00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.790
The stereotype of a
person diagnosed with ADHD

00:02:59.790 --> 00:03:02.330
is usually a small child
who's bouncing off the walls

00:03:02.330 --> 00:03:04.450
or can't finish a task.

00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:09.180
However, between 7.8 and 11%
of children aged four to 17

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:12.750
are diagnosed with ADHD any given year.

00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:15.410
ADHD affects people of
all ages and includes

00:03:15.410 --> 00:03:18.730
multiple symptoms such as
inability to concentrate,

00:03:18.730 --> 00:03:21.620
forgetfulness, inability
ability to sit still,

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:24.040
restlessness and losing things.

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:27.150
An individual's symptoms
vary depending on their age,

00:03:27.150 --> 00:03:29.800
gender and type of ADHD.

00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:30.830
Did you know there's actually

00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:33.520
three recognized types of ADHD?

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.080
There ADHD, combined type ADHD,

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.940
impulsive/hyperactive type in ADHD,

00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:42.120
inattentive and destructible type.

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.080
Most people think meds are
the only way to control ADHD.

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.450
Well many people diagnosed
with the disorder find relief

00:03:48.450 --> 00:03:51.880
by using a combination of
medications, life coaching,

00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:53.603
education and talk therapy.

00:03:55.265 --> 00:03:58.670
Four, post traumatic stress disorder.

00:03:58.670 --> 00:04:02.580
Did you know that an estimated
6.8% of the US population

00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:05.880
will develop some form of post
traumatic stress disorder.

00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:09.900
That's about 19 million
people in the US alone.

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:11.800
So how does this happen?

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.410
You, me, everybody will get stressed out

00:04:14.410 --> 00:04:16.190
by something in our lives.

00:04:16.190 --> 00:04:18.269
Some people will come across
something so stressful

00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:20.489
that it affects them permanently.

00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:23.700
For many of them this
stress becomes trauma.

00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:26.050
A traumatic event is considered any event

00:04:26.050 --> 00:04:29.330
that should not have happened,
such as a natural disaster

00:04:29.330 --> 00:04:34.330
an assault, childhood neglect,
abuse, starvation and so on.

00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:37.590
Just as a completely
normal reaction to trauma

00:04:37.590 --> 00:04:39.940
what will happen when the threat is gone?

00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:42.580
The stress and trauma stops
on its own for most people,

00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:44.590
when the mind and body
understand the individual

00:04:44.590 --> 00:04:46.780
is no longer under attack.

00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:49.610
But what if the mind and
body don't get the memo?

00:04:49.610 --> 00:04:52.630
Post traumatic stress disorder
refers to a prolonged fight

00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:54.460
or flight response that happens

00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:56.710
after the stressful event has stopped.

00:04:56.710 --> 00:05:00.670
Complex post traumatic
stress disorder, CPTSD

00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:03.900
refers to the PTSD that
occurs due to a series

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:07.890
of continued traumatic events,
such as childhood abuse.

00:05:07.890 --> 00:05:11.480
Think of PTSD and CPTSD as the echoes

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.170
of the stress response.

00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:16.290
These echoes can happen in the
form of emotional flashbacks,

00:05:16.290 --> 00:05:19.470
nightmares, extreme anxiety or panic,

00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:21.470
difficulties connecting to others

00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:24.250
and an overwhelming sense of fear.

00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:27.810
So how does someone get help
for something so overwhelming?

00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:31.810
People suffering from PTSD
or CPTSD can find relief

00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:33.340
through trauma therapies,

00:05:33.340 --> 00:05:37.690
which is eye movement
desensitization reprocessing EMDR

00:05:37.690 --> 00:05:39.710
or traditional talk therapies

00:05:39.710 --> 00:05:43.010
such as cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT

00:05:43.010 --> 00:05:46.283
or dialectical behavior therapy, DBT.

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:49.440
Five, depression.

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:52.950
An estimated 6.7% of the US population

00:05:52.950 --> 00:05:54.406
over the age of 18

00:05:54.406 --> 00:05:59.290
15.7 million people live with depression.

00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:01.880
Although the occasional low
mood is a normal response

00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:05.300
to negative situations,
depression entails low moods

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:08.740
that are severe and last
longer than six weeks.

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:11.890
Depression manifests
differently in women than men.

00:06:11.890 --> 00:06:15.050
Women tend to experience
depression as feelings of sadness,

00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:17.410
worthlessness and shame or guilt.

00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:20.390
Men tend to mistake the symptoms
of depression as fatigue

00:06:20.390 --> 00:06:22.420
and being easily irritated.

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:24.130
Common treatments for depression include

00:06:24.130 --> 00:06:27.100
cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT,

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:31.630
interpersonal therapy,
IPT, psychodynamic therapy,

00:06:31.630 --> 00:06:34.060
psycho education groups, antidepressants

00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:36.273
and various brain stimulation therapies.

00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:40.260
Six, bipolar disorder.

00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:42.960
An estimated 2.8% of the US population

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:45.210
that sought mental health
treatment was diagnosed

00:06:45.210 --> 00:06:48.740
with some form of
bipolar disorder in 2018.

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.840
This number may be low, as
many individuals who suffer

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:54.743
from any mental health
disorder do not seek treatment.

00:06:55.630 --> 00:06:57.750
Bipolar disorder means
a lot more than just

00:06:57.750 --> 00:07:00.730
really bad mood swings
for a couple of reasons.

00:07:00.730 --> 00:07:02.820
First people diagnosed
with bipolar disorder

00:07:02.820 --> 00:07:05.150
cannot completely
control these mood swings

00:07:05.150 --> 00:07:08.980
and in second, these mood
swings range from manic,

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:10.990
feeling super happy or invincible,

00:07:10.990 --> 00:07:13.890
doing crazy spontaneous
things, grandiosity

00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:16.050
and having racing or unrealistic thoughts

00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:18.560
to extreme bouts of depression

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.793
and maybe a little hypomania in between.

00:07:21.630 --> 00:07:23.921
Living with bipolar disorder isn't easy

00:07:23.921 --> 00:07:25.720
but people struggling with the disorder

00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.010
can find a variety of medications

00:07:28.010 --> 00:07:29.650
and traditional counseling treatments

00:07:29.650 --> 00:07:31.273
to help them find more balance.

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:35.870
Seven, eating disorders.

00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:37.480
Did you know there are
almost as many people

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.670
living with eating disorders

00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:40.780
as there are with bipolar disorder?

00:07:40.780 --> 00:07:42.060
It's true.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:45.630
Approximately 2.7% of
individuals who sought treatment

00:07:45.630 --> 00:07:48.363
were diagnosed with an
eating disorder in 2018.

00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:51.890
The most common question people
ask about eating disorders

00:07:51.890 --> 00:07:53.840
is what's the difference
between not being happy

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:56.530
with your body and having
an eating disorder?

00:07:56.530 --> 00:07:58.760
Well, in addition to this total focus

00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:01.770
on their physical flaws,
eating disorders are defined

00:08:01.770 --> 00:08:04.430
by dysmorphia and the binge purge restrict

00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:06.280
cycle of behavior.

00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:08.000
This cycle comes from
the person's feelings

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.200
of extreme distress and
disgust about their body.

00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.300
This disgust drives the
individual who has the disorder

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:17.810
to become super focused on
their body weight and shape.

00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:19.450
Leave a comment below
if you wanna know more

00:08:19.450 --> 00:08:22.280
about the binge purge restrict cycle.

00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:24.000
The eating disorders everyone knows about

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.290
are anorexia nervosa and
bulimia but most people

00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:28.830
have never heard of eating disorders

00:08:28.830 --> 00:08:31.640
not otherwise specified, EDNOS

00:08:31.640 --> 00:08:36.179
or avoidant restrictive
food intake disorder, ARFID.

00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:38.039
Leave a comment below
if you wanna hear more

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.039
about the lesser known eating disorders.

00:08:41.030 --> 00:08:43.220
Everyone needs food, so how is someone

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.950
who has such a terrible
relationship with eating

00:08:44.950 --> 00:08:47.430
and body image supposed to get better?

00:08:47.430 --> 00:08:50.840
Recovery from an eating
disorder is totally possible.

00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.840
With a combination of talk
therapy, residential treatment

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.570
and medications to treat the symptoms

00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:57.720
of any underlying mental
health conditions.

00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.990
Eight, obsessive compulsive disorder.

00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:04.336
If obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD

00:09:04.336 --> 00:09:06.520
is a type of anxiety disorder,

00:09:06.520 --> 00:09:08.720
why does it make the number eight spot?

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.030
Simple professionals
day 2.3% of individuals

00:09:12.030 --> 00:09:14.290
will qualify for a diagnosis of OCD

00:09:14.290 --> 00:09:16.870
during the course of their lifetime.

00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:18.620
What's the first thing you
think of when you think

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:21.780
of someone who suffers from
obsessive compulsive disorder?

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.440
Did you imagine someone who can't stand

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.000
the thought of germs?

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.500
Maybe a person who turns
the doorknob 27 times

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:29.690
before they can leave the house?

00:09:29.690 --> 00:09:31.530
The common stereotype of an individual

00:09:31.530 --> 00:09:34.810
diagnosed with obsessive
compulsive disorder, OCD

00:09:34.810 --> 00:09:36.240
is if someone obsessed with cleaning

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.440
or counting to a comical degree

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.420
but that's not the whole picture.

00:09:40.420 --> 00:09:44.000
The reality of OCD includes
a great deal of anxiety,

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.380
rigid thinking and feeling
isolated from others.

00:09:47.380 --> 00:09:49.500
Individuals diagnosed with OCD suffer from

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:51.285
reoccurring thoughts
that they cannot control,

00:09:51.285 --> 00:09:54.170
which are referred to as obsessions.

00:09:54.170 --> 00:09:57.770
These obsessions can be things
like cleaning or accounting

00:09:57.770 --> 00:10:00.530
but also include checking
and double checking,

00:10:00.530 --> 00:10:03.370
feeling as though one will be
punished for being a sinner.

00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:05.603
Organizing and arranging and hoarding.

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:09.400
Having obsessions is different
from being detail oriented

00:10:09.400 --> 00:10:12.100
or a little type A because individuals

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:15.340
who suffer from obsessions
experience crippling anxiety

00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.190
due to these thoughts
they're unable to control.

00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:20.840
The compulsions are the
actions such as cleaning,

00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.040
hand washing, arranging and
hoarding, individuals use

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:27.700
to cope with overwhelming
anxiety and rigid thinking.

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:31.540
So what is someone who lives
with the reality of OCD to do?

00:10:31.540 --> 00:10:34.600
Although there's no cure for
OCD, a combination of medical

00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.310
and talk therapy will help them manage

00:10:36.310 --> 00:10:37.793
their symptoms effectively.

00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:43.410
Nine, autism spectrum disorder ASD.

00:10:43.410 --> 00:10:44.780
We've been hearing more and more about

00:10:44.780 --> 00:10:48.270
autism spectrum disorder
ASD in recent years.

00:10:48.270 --> 00:10:50.748
That's because approximately
1.2% of children,

00:10:50.748 --> 00:10:54.530
one in 59 children will
qualify for a diagnosis

00:10:54.530 --> 00:10:57.023
of autism spectrum disorder
in the coming year.

00:10:57.870 --> 00:11:00.670
ASD begins in childhood
but many individuals

00:11:00.670 --> 00:11:04.110
are not diagnosed until
adolescence or adulthood.

00:11:04.110 --> 00:11:06.930
ASD is characterized by
significantly impaired

00:11:06.930 --> 00:11:10.470
social interactions,
learning and communication.

00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:12.850
Individuals with ASD may seem eccentric

00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:15.650
or unemotional to others,
as they do not understand

00:11:15.650 --> 00:11:17.450
normal social cues.

00:11:17.450 --> 00:11:18.880
Some of these behaviors include

00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:20.960
seeming off in their own world,

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.530
repetitive thoughts or
behaviors, restricted interests,

00:11:24.530 --> 00:11:27.190
poor eye contact and difficulty
communicating with others

00:11:27.190 --> 00:11:30.240
to the point their functioning
is greatly impaired.

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.170
The most common treatments for ASD include

00:11:32.170 --> 00:11:34.210
special education classes,

00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:37.470
applied behavioral analysis, ABA therapy,

00:11:37.470 --> 00:11:40.350
occupational therapy, speech therapy,

00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:43.200
behavioral management, therapy
and medication management.

00:11:44.490 --> 00:11:48.670
And 10, schizophrenia
and psychotic disorders.

00:11:48.670 --> 00:11:51.550
Did you know three out of
100 people will experience

00:11:51.550 --> 00:11:54.370
the symptoms of psychosis
in their lifetime?

00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:57.080
Yep, this means 1% of the population

00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.430
suffers from a psychotic disorder.

00:11:59.430 --> 00:12:01.290
People usually have their
first psychotic break

00:12:01.290 --> 00:12:03.290
between the ages of 16 and 30

00:12:03.290 --> 00:12:06.650
which means approximately
100000 adolescents and adults

00:12:06.650 --> 00:12:09.433
will experience their first
psychotic break every year.

00:12:10.290 --> 00:12:12.690
This does not mean everyone
who experiences psychosis

00:12:12.690 --> 00:12:15.300
will always have a psychotic disorder.

00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.960
Medical and environmental
or situational factors

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.740
such as extreme stress,
certain prescriptions

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:24.520
and illicit drugs can
induce temporary psychosis.

00:12:24.520 --> 00:12:26.780
For individuals with a
psychotic disorder however,

00:12:26.780 --> 00:12:29.230
the symptoms last longer than six months.

00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:31.788
So, what is psychosis anyway?

00:12:31.788 --> 00:12:34.600
Someone suffering from
psychosis has breaks

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.600
or disruptions in their reality,

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.810
which manifests in behaviors
such as religious delusions,

00:12:39.810 --> 00:12:42.830
audio visual or tactile hallucinations,

00:12:42.830 --> 00:12:45.550
feelings of paranoia or persecution

00:12:45.550 --> 00:12:48.920
and disordered or jumbled
thoughts and speech.

00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:51.720
Schizophrenia is the most
common psychotic disorder

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.986
but the DSMV recognize a few others.

00:12:53.986 --> 00:12:55.380
Would you like to know more

00:12:55.380 --> 00:12:57.260

Then tell us in the comments below.

00:12:59.750 --> 00:13:02.680
Having a psychotic disorder
can feel like torture

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:04.370
but it doesn't have to.

00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:06.990
Many people who are diagnosed
with some type of psychosis

00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:08.860
are successfully treated
with a combination

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:12.363
of specialized medications,
therapy and case management.

00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:14.830

00:13:14.830 --> 00:13:17.650
