Course Description:
This course will focus primarily on the discussion of psychosis and the mental illnesses where psychosis presents, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Students will learn about the history in diagnosing these thought disorders, an in-depth look at the specific signs and symptoms of psychosis, and potential causes of psychosis beyond a clinical diagnosis. The course will also focus on the development of psychosis and how symptoms look in the prodromal or early stages of the disorders, as well as the progression of symptoms and possible predictors of the development of full psychosis. Students will be introduced to specific treatments that are shown to be effective in the treatment of these thought disorders. |
