Row 1, Col 1 What are negative symptoms? (alogia, affective flattening, avolution, anhedonia) Males are more likely than females to have these A Criteria symptoms of schizophrenia

1,2 What are hallucinations? Positive symptoms of schizophrenia are delusions, disorganized thinking, and this

1,3 What is schizophreniform disorder? If the A criteria for Schizophrenia have been met for between 1 & 6 months, the diagnosis is this

1,4 What are mood disorders? Other psychotic disorders, childhood developmental disorders, medical or neurological illness, substance abuse or medication induced, personality disorders, & this must be ruled out before diagnosing schizophrenia

1,8 What is females? M-negative symptoms; F-positive symptoms Delusions are more likely to be experienced by females than males and hallucinations are more likely to be experienced by this sex.

1,9 What are hypnopompic hallucinations? Voices that are only heard when a patient is just waking up from sleeping are called this

2,1 What are negative symptoms (or cognitive symptoms)? These symptoms of schizophrenia present early in the illness, worsen during the active periods, & do not respond well to anti-psychotic medications

2,2 What is get married? It is “proposed” that because most patients with schizophrenia have limited social contacts, only 30-40% do this

2,3 What is 10%? (~30% intermittent course, ~60% chronic course) 10%, 30%, 60%: the percentage of patients with schizophrenia who experience a single active episode is this

2,4 What is a prodrome? Seen in ~85% of patients, this negative prognostic sign lasts several months to years

2,5 What is a 2nd smaller peak age of onset peak for females after age 40? For ♂ &♀ with schizophrenia, the peak age of onset (the mode) is the same but the average age of onset is different because of this

2,6 What is cardiovascular disease? Patients with schizophrenia have a life expectancy that is about 25 years less than the general population primarily due to this

2,7 What is theprodrome? The functional decline for a patient with schizophrenia begins during this phase of the illness

2,8 What is live independently? Due to their many problems as outlined in the B criteria, only 33% of those with schizophrenia are able to do this on July 4th

2,9 What is males generally develop the illness earlier? The average course of schizophrenia tends to be more severe in males than females because of this

3,1 What is prevent relapse into the active phase? For patients with schizophrenia, the main goal of continuous treatment with antipsychotics is this

3,2 What is increased risk of relapse? Decreasing the antipsychotic medication in an attempt to use the “lowest effective dose” is associated with this

3,3 What is psychosis/active phase of illness? The most common reason patients with schizophrenia are psychiatrically hospitalized is this

3,4 What is 2 weeks? Except for clozapine (clozaril), all anti-psychotic medications are unlikely to work by 4 weeks if a patient does not show a response within this number of week(s)

3,5 What is greater sensitivity to medication side effects? Lower doses of antipsychotics are used to treat the first active phase of schizophrenia because of this

3,6 What is decreases risk of suicide? Treating schizophrenic patients with clozapine (clozaril) and treating bipolar patients with lithium both have this same unique benefit

3,7 What is recurrent suicidality/violence? Common indications for a clozapine (clozaril) trial include: persistence of positive symptoms, failure of > 2 antipsychotic trials, co-morbid substance abuse, and this

3,8 What is 75-80% In treating patients with FGA’s, often titrating the dose up until side effects emerge corresponds to blocking this percentage of dopamine receptors

3,9 What is mesolimbic tract? In order to have the desired antipsychotic effect, medications need to block at least 65% of dopamine receptors in this pathway

4,1 What is anti-cholinergic activity (cholinergic blockade)? Low potency antipsychotics have common side effects of dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, & urinary hesitancy due to this

4,2 What is dystonia? Young males may be at higher risk than the rest of the population for this EPS side effect of muscle spasms

4,3 What is remain static/unchanged (ongoing symptoms)? Improve, worsen, or remain unchanged: Once a patient develops tardive dyskinesia, the most common course of the symptoms is this

4,4 What is propranolol (indural) While amantadine (symmetrel), lorazepam (ativan), clonidine (catapres), even mirtazepine (remeron), can be used for treating akathisia, the first choice of medication for treatment is this

4,5 What is antihistiminic? Adjunctive medications that are anticholinergic, dopaminergic, and/or this are commonly used to treat EPS side effects

4,6 What is low potency FGAs? chlorpromazine (thorazine) . While there is still a significant risk of EPS, patients are less likely to complain of EPS symptoms from this type of FGA

4,7 What is clozapine (clozaril)? About half of the patients with tardive dyskinesia show a 50% symptom reduction from treatment with this medication

4,8 What is older adults/geriatric (>70 y/o)? The risk of tardive dyskinesia in patients who take FGA’s for 24 months is 50% in this age group

4,9 What is akathisia? An EPS side effect often described as a subjective sense of restlessness (the person can’t sit still) is this

5,1 What is clozapine (clozaril) and quetiapine (seroquel)? These two SGA’s are least likely to have EPS side effects

5,2 What is aripiprazole (abilify)? This SGA has a particularly long half life and a low risk of metabolic syndrome, but is the SGA most likely to cause akathisia

5,3 What are risperidone (risperdal) & palliperidone (invega)? These 2 SGA’s are available in depot form but can cause dose dependent EPS & prolactin elevation

5,4 What isziprasidone (geodone)? This SGA has a low risk of metabolic syndrome, needs to be taken with food, and is the most likely SGA to cause qTc prolongation

5,5 What are olanzapine (zyprexa)? This SGA has the highest risk of metabolic syndrome, is very sedating, and the CATIE study showed patients are highly likely to be compliant
