| Undifferentiated | Criteria met but no single subtype dominant |
| Residual | Chronic with mainly negative symptoms |
| Simple | Gradual negative symptoms without frank psychosis |
| Type | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Bipolar I | At least 1 manic episode (depressive episodes common but not required) |
| Bipolar II | Hypomanic episodes + major depressive episodes; NO full mania |
| Cyclothymia | Hypomanic + depressive symptoms โฅ2 years, never full criteria |
| Disorder | Key Features |
|---|---|
| Insomnia | Difficulty initiating/maintaining sleep โฅ3 nights/week for โฅ3 months |
| Narcolepsy | Excessive sleepiness + cataplexy + hypnagogic hallucinations + sleep paralysis; HLA-DQ B1*0602; CSF orexin low; treat: modafinil, sodium oxybate |
| Obstructive Sleep Apnea | Loud snoring, apneic episodes, daytime somnolence; AHI >5; treat: CPAP |
| REM Sleep Behavior Disorder | Acting out dreams; associated with Parkinson's, Lewy body dementia; treat: clonazepam |
| Restless Leg Syndrome | Urge to move legs worse at rest/night; treat: dopamine agonists (pramipexole) |
| Sleepwalking (somnambulism) | NREM sleep (stage 3); child more than adult; confusion on waking |
| Night Terrors | NREM (stage 3-4); intense fear, amnesia of event; unlike nightmares (REM) |
| Nightmares | REM sleep; vivid recall |
| DSM-5 Disorder | Key Feature |
|---|---|
| Somatic Symptom Disorder | โฅ1 somatic symptom + excessive health-related thoughts/feelings/behaviors โฅ6 months |
| Illness Anxiety Disorder | High anxiety about having/acquiring illness; few/no symptoms; โฅ6 months |
| Conversion Disorder (FND) | Neurological symptoms (paralysis, seizures, blindness) inconsistent with neurological disease; "la belle indiffรฉrence"; glove-stocking anesthesia |
| Factitious Disorder (Munchausen) | Falsifying symptoms in SELF for sick role; no external incentive |
| Factitious by Proxy (Munchausen by proxy) | Falsifying symptoms in ANOTHER (usually child); perpetrator is usually mother |
| Malingering | Feigning symptoms for EXTERNAL gain (money, avoid jail); not a mental disorder |
| Class | Examples | Key Side Effects / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SSRIs | Fluoxetine, sertraline, escitalopram | Sexual dysfunction, GI upset, serotonin syndrome; safest in overdose; first line for depression, OCD, panic, PTSD |
| SNRIs | Venlafaxine, duloxetine | HTN, sweating; used in GAD, depression, fibromyalgia |
| TCAs | Amitriptyline, imipramine, clomipramine | Anticholinergic (dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation), antihistamine (sedation), alpha-1 blockade (orthostasis); cardiotoxic in OD; imipramine for enuresis; clomipramine most potent anti-OCD |
| MAOIs | Phenelzine, tranylcypromine | Tyramine-containing foods โ hypertensive crisis; atypical depression; selegiline patch (less interaction) |
| Mirtazapine | - | Alpha-2 antagonist; weight gain, sedation; no sexual dysfunction; good for depressed patient with insomnia/weight loss |
| Bupropion | - | Dopamine/NE reuptake inhibitor; NO sexual dysfunction; contraindicated in eating disorders/seizures; smoking cessation |
| Trazodone | - | Priapism (tell male patients); sedation; used at low dose for insomnia |
| Feature | Serotonin Syndrome | NMS |
|---|---|---|
| Cause | Serotonergic drugs | Antipsychotics (D2 blockade) |
| Onset | Rapid (hours) | Gradual (days-weeks) |
| Tone | Clonus, hyperreflexia | Lead-pipe rigidity |
| Pupils | Mydriasis | Normal/variable |
| Tremor | Yes | Yes |
| CK | Mildly elevated | Markedly elevated |
| Treatment | Cyproheptadine, benzodiazepines | Bromocriptine, dantrolene, stop drug |
| Type | Examples | Key Points |
|---|---|---|
| Typical/FGA | Haloperidol, chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, trifluoperazine | D2 blockers; high EPS; hyperprolactinemia |
| Atypical/SGA | Clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, aripiprazole | 5HT2A + D2; less EPS; metabolic syndrome |
| Drug | Key Use | Monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Lithium | Bipolar mania/maintenance, suicide prevention | Levels, TFTs, renal function; range 0.6-1.2 mEq/L |
| Valproate | Acute mania, epilepsy, migraine prophylaxis | LFTs, CBC; teratogenic (neural tube defects) |
| Carbamazepine | Mania, trigeminal neuralgia, epilepsy | CBC (aplastic anemia), LFTs, Na (SIADH); induces CYP450 |
| Lamotrigine | Bipolar depression maintenance | Stevens-Johnson syndrome; start low, titrate slowly |
| Scale | Uses |
|---|---|
| MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) | Cognitive assessment; max 30; <24 = cognitive impairment |
| Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) | Severity of depression |
| Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) | Severity of anxiety |
| Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) | Manic episode severity |
| PANSS | Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - schizophrenia |
| BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale) | Overall psychopathology |
| Y-BOCS | OCD severity |
| GAF (Global Assessment of Functioning) | Overall psychiatric functioning (0-100) |
| AUDIT | Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test |
| CAGE | Alcohol screening (4 questions) |
Tips for FMGE/NEET PG:
- Memorize DSM-5 duration criteria (brief psychotic < 1 month, schizophreniform 1-6 months, schizophrenia > 6 months)
- Clozapine = agranulocytosis + treatment-resistant schizophrenia (most tested drug in psychiatry)
- Lithium therapeutic levels, toxicity signs, and drug interactions (NSAIDs/thiazides raise levels)
- ECT indications - depression in pregnancy is the classic high-yield scenario
- Schneider's First Rank Symptoms = classic FMGE question
- Serotonin syndrome vs NMS differentiation is asked repeatedly
- Personality disorder clusters (A = odd/schizoid-like, B = dramatic/antisocial, C = anxious)
- Sleep disorder NREM vs REM (night terrors = NREM; nightmares = REM)
- PTSD - SSRIs sertraline/paroxetine are FDA-approved; prazosin for nightmares
- Malingering (external gain) vs Factitious (sick role) vs Conversion (unconscious/neurological)
