Transcript of DSM-5 EPPP Lecture Video: Neurocognitive Disorder Due to HIV Infection

NARRATIVE DEFINITION: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.2 million people in the United States are infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is transmitted via blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Risk factors that increase one’s likelihood of contracting HIV include engaging in unprotected sex with multiple partners; engaging in unprotected sex with HIV-positive partners; sharing needles during intravenous drug use; having other sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., syphilis, herpes, bacterial vaginosis) and having fewer copies of the CCL3L1 gene, which is thought to help fight off the HIV infection.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (in Life Span Development Domain)

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties communicating and interacting in a variety of social contexts, restricted and repetitive behaviors, and early onset of symptoms that ultimately cause clinically significant impairment in everyday functioning. A reliable diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder may be made as early as age 2, although symptoms may be noted before 12 months of age (depending on severity of symptoms).

Part I: DSM-5 EPPP Lecture Series By the Taylor Study Method

Posted on in DSM-5 EPPP Lecture Series, TSM | Video by TSM Admin

Anyone taking the EPPP is now expected to know the material in DSM-5, the new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The changes that the American Psychiatric Association introduced in DSM-5 incorporate significant scientific advances in more precisely identifying and diagnosing mental disorders.

DSM-5 represents an opportunity to better integrate neuroscience and the wealth of findings from neuroimaging, genetics, and cognitive research that have emerged over the past several decades, all of which are vital to diagnosis and treatment.

It also provides a common language for clinicians to communicate about their patients and establishes consistent and reliable diagnoses that can be used in the research of mental disorders. In addition, it establishes a common language for researchers to study the criteria for potential future revisions and to aid in the development of medications and other interventions.

Many people who are studying to pass their EPPP are nervous about these changes, and have been asking some of the following questions: What is the relationship between DSM-5 and the EPPP, and how will the former affect the later? How will I learn what I need to know for the various EPPP content areas that have been affected by DSM-5? Is everything I learned before about mental illness suspect and unreliable? Are my test-preparation materials up to date with DSM-5?

Since your EPPP success is important to us at the Taylor Study Method, we are launching a lecture series on DSM-5 and the EPPP. The purpose of the Taylor Study Method’s DSM-5 Learning Series series aims to

  1. to provide an overview of the content areas that the DSM-5 has integrated
  2. to identify the critical points you’ll need to remember regarding the various content areas
  3. to utilize motion graphic illustrations and footage to help you further consolidate and retain this new DSM-5 information
  4. to demonstrate how the content areas may be presented to you as a question on your licensing exam

In order to fully address these concerns, Part 1 of our lecture series looks at five mental disorders affected by DSM-5. You can watch the entire Part 1 lecture series in the video above. Alternatively, the following links will take you to a video and full transcript for each of these areas:

We trust this series will be very beneficial to you as you take this final step towards licensure.

Transcript of DSM-5 EPPP Lecture Video: Histrionic Personality Disorder

No changes were officially made to personality disorders in the DSM-5, although much research had gone into changing the classifications from “disorders” to “types” and there is still a desire by some to have personality disorders to be seen through more of a dimensional-categorical model. This alternative method of viewing personality disorders is included in a separate chapter in Section III of DSM-5. Interestingly, the DSM-5 work group recommended that Histrionic Personality Disorder still be represented as a disorder, rather than as a “type” (www.dsm5.org).

Histrionic Personality Disorder is a Cluster B Personality Disorder characterized by extreme emotionality and attention-seeking behavior.
