Mood related disorders

Knowledge

The following material does not need to be reviewed in any particular order. Browse through the resources and start off with whatever interests you the most. We will have an open discussion based on concepts covered in this section.

  • Were you able to identify any symptoms of psychotic related disorders? Why do you think we also see those symptoms in mood related disorders?

  • Thinking of Maslow’s Hierarchy, what were some of your immediate concerns when the nurses entered the client’s apartment?

  • Would you have written an involuntary hold? If so, why?

Flashcard Time!

While reviewing the information covered in the knowledge section, write out any words, lab values, or medications you are unfamiliar with. Keep it simple and try your best to limit the card to no more than 5 words. It is always best to keep a stack of flash cards nearby to be effective with your time and memorization!
