The most of psychiatric syndromas (mental illnesses) are different disorders, with different ethiology and pathogenesis and with simillar clinical pictures! (Schizophrenias, Affective Syndromas, Dementia Syndromas). Eugen Bleuler scribed about Schizophrenias! It so possiblle the same genetic basis....
It is so NOT possiblle the same genetic basis fot total different psychopathological states, personal strucure and geographical andcultural enviroment! So colled "epigenetic" factors are frequently once of causes by psychotic disorders (infection/inflammation, intoxication, metabolic and endocrinological distrurbacen , psychoactive drugs, ect.)
most psychiatric diagnoses are labels for clusters of observed symptom-
no further logical or otherwise scientific base - Thomas Insel M.D., when
director of NIH , roused considerable psychiatry attacks when he made
similar comment about DSM V- Symptoms of paranoia or other psychoses
when suddenly appear esp. with older persons are likely UTI symptom-
reality-based Dx makes a difference-anti-psychotic med would be quite
iatrogenic- Severe dementia symptoms not distinguishable from some
folks with severe B12 deficiency- most Dx after R/O for brain tumors,
cysts infections or trauma- psychosis Dx might be default settingwhen no identified biological cause, eg, accepted as no biological malfunction-
DSMs continue a pattern that was acceptable before neuroscience
findings, esp. neuroplasticity- recent studies, but not just discoveries
from lasdt month or so
I had in last month 4 cases with "demantia" (syndroma) by older womenc... The cause was conductive deffnes because hart cerumen! After wash out the cerumen, the hearing was good and the communication very improved!
May be, there is a limited number or psychopathological reactions (disorders), which are produced by the human brain. To which of these reactions a subject is more prone, may be in part genetically determinated - as indicated by the genetic component in the etiology of major psychoses. However, as these reaction forms are not exclusive for the respective genetic preconditions, they may also be triggered by sufficiently strong external stimuli, e.g. traumata.
