Each disorder is presented systematically (epidemiology, symptomatology and characteristics, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathogeny, evolution and complications, treatment). The course presents an integrative vision of the various pathogenic mechanisms (at the biological, psychological and social levels) and the various therapeutic approaches, focusing particularly on the relational and psychotherapic aspects as well as on the rational use of psychotropic drugs (anxiolytics, antidepressants, antipsychotics). Each disorder is illustrated by video interviews of characteristic patients. |
