Download or read book Exploring Social Cognition and Mirror Systems in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder written by Sophie Claire Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder show some overlap in genetics, epidemiology and clinical features. Individuals with these disorders often have poor social and vocational functional outcomes and reduced quality of life, even during times of symptom remission. Social cognition comprises a number of processes including emotion recognition, empathy and theory of mind (ToM), and recent research has indicated that these skills may be reduced in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and contribute to their reduced function. Despite this, the exact nature of these social cognitive deficits, their impact on quality of life, and possible underlying neural substrates, have not yet been established in these disorders. One brain network implicated in social cognition is the mirror system, however, research into this system in schizophrenia or bipolar disorder has been very limited to date. The goal of this thesis was to better understand the nature and impact of social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and euthymic bipolar disorder, and comprehensively assess mirror system function as a possible contributor to these deficits. In this thesis, I first assessed a number of aspects of social cognition (emotion recognition, empathy and ToM), as well as cognitive, clinical, and quality of life variables in a schizophrenia, euthymic bipolar disorder, and healthy control group. The three groups were then compared using two putative measures of mirror system function (EEG and TMS). I found a significant reduction in cognitive ToM in both disorders, with the addition of a deficit in the recognition of anger in the schizophrenia sample, indicating some likely shared underlying brain pathology but also disorder-specific differences. Quality of life was not related to these social cognitive deficits in this sample, possibly due to other mediating factors. There was some evidence for underactive mirror systems in euthymic bipolar disorder but not schizophrenia, however, mirror system function was not strongly related to any of the social cognitive measures utilised in this study. The findings of this thesis make a valuable contribution to the understanding of social cognition in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and challenge the proposed importance of mirror systems for social cognition. Our findings indicate that social cognitive deficits should be considered in assessment and treatment planning in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In addition, this thesis highlights the need for further research aimed at understanding the neurobiology and true impact of social cognitive deficits. It is hoped that this knowledge will lead to better treatments targeting these deficits at both neurophysiological and behavioural levels, and ultimately improve patient outcomes and wellbeing.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Aims:Patients with bipolar disorders exhibit deficits in social and neurocognition even during remission and interfere with everyday life. This study aims to find association of executive functions and emotion and social cognition with clinical symptomatology ( mood, activity and speech) and global functioning. Methods:Thirty-five male and sixteen female patients who were diagnosed as BD type I , manic episode according to DSM-5 in the mental health service were included. All participants received a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and ratings of depressive Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and manic [Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)] symptoms at baseline and follow-up. Symptoms were examined in relation to neurocognitive performance.Results:In the first week of bipolar manic episode, YMRS scores of bipolar mania patients, elevated mood (item 1), increased motor activity-energy (item 2), speech (rate and amount) (item 6) and total scores were all significantly correlated with SSRT, spearmanu2019s rho value (r) as were 0,583, 0,504, 0,338 and 0,505 respectively. Correlation of item 1 with deliberation time (r=0,3) and rate of angry emotion recognition were found (r= -0,34). Item 2 and total score were positively correlated with total rate of bet (r=0,38 and r=0,35). General assesment of functioning score was correlated with deliberation time (r=-0,371) and total rate of bet (r=-0,443). Conclusions:Bipolar disorder mania clinical symptomatology was associated with neurocognition and social cognition. Cognitive and emotion recognition dysfunction relation to other key symptom dimensions and to diagnostic categories and general functioning will help clarify shared neural correlates and guide efforts toward personalized treatment approaches.

Download or read book Social Cognition and Metacognition in Schizophrenia written by Paul Lysaker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deficits in social cognition and metacognition in schizophrenics makes it difficult for them to understand the speech, facial expressions and hence emotion and intention of others, as well as allowing little insight into their own mental state. These deficits are associated with poor social skills, fewer social relationships, and are predictive of poorer performance in a work setting. Social Cognition and Metacognition in Schizophrenia reviews recent research advances focusing on the precise nature of these deficits, when and how they manifest themselves, what their effect is on the course of schizophrenia, and how each can be treated. These deficits may themselves be why schizophrenia is so difficult to resolve; by focusing on the deficits, recovery may be quicker and long lasting. This book discusses such deficits in early onset, first episode, and prolonged schizophrenia; how the deficits relate to each other and to other forms of psychopathology; how the deficits affect social, psychological, and vocational functioning; and how best to treat the deficits in either individual or group settings. Summarizes the types of social cognitive and metacognitive deficits present in schizophrenia Discusses how deficits are related to each other and to other forms of psychopathology Describes how deficits impact function and affect the recovery process Provides treatment approaches for these deficits
Download or read book A Multi facet Investigation of Impulsivity and Social Cognition in Bipolar Disorder written by Robert Aidelbaum and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has supported the impairment of both impulsivity and social cognition within bipolar disorder (BD). Despite this, additional research is necessary to clarify the manifestation of the sub-domains of these multi-faceted constructs. This study sought to examine the manifestation of the facets of impulsivity (i.e. trait behavioural) and social cognition (i.e. theory of mind social perception). Performances on validated measures of impulsivity and social cognition from a sample of 26 BD participants and 25 community controls were compared to observe for patterns indicative of impairment. The results of this examination suggest that euthymic and subthreshold BD individuals perform equal to controls regarding behavioural measures of impulsivity, theory of mind, and social perception. At the same time, levels of trait-impulsivity are statistically elevated compared to controls. These results suggest additional variables such as medication, symptom profile, and baseline functioning may mediate/moderate the manifestation of impulsivity and social cognitive impairments.

Download or read book Cognitive Dimensions of Major Depressive Disorder written by Bernhard T. Baune and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a clinically and neurobiologically highly heterogenous mood disorder that consists of a variety of symptom clusters including mood symptoms, physical symptoms, and cognitive symptoms. While the traditional model of depression implicates mood as the primary symptom cluster, a more recently published conceptual understanding of depression has extended to also include cognitive symptoms. Moreover, the understanding of the central role of cognitive processes in emotion processing, social interaction, and pure cognitive performance has led to a model suggestion that places cognitive processing central to the pathophysiology of depression. Cognitive dimensions of depression have long been implicated in the nature of depression that are characterised typically by impaired cognitive and emotional processes. In the following volume the dimensions of cognitive function, emotion processing, and social cognitive processing are highlighted to comprehensively describe large parts of the clinical symptoms as well as the pathophysiology and biology of the brain-based disorder of depression. The focus on the above cognitive and emotional dimensions of depression offers extended and novel diagnostic and treatment approaches ranging from pharmacological to psychological interventions targeting those dimensions of depression. This volume informs about some of the more fundamental psychological, biological and clinical concepts that are applicable to the comprehensive treatment of depression and is suitable for students, trainees, clinicians and scientists in the fields of psychology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, general medicine / general practice and other health care professionals as it will also cover core knowledge and skills for training as well as practice.
