Abstract
The aim of this paper is a didactic one, namely the separation of concepts of vulnerability in psychosis, with cognitive, thinking, affective, relational and motivational patterns of patients with schizophrenia, explaining the diagnosis of emotional schizophrenia after DSM VI, which although has a long history, is still a controversial one and excluded from DSM V. The paper also discusses brief psychoses. Vulnerability in psychoses is both psychological, hereditary, genetic or potentially related to the pathology of the neurotransmitters involved, and it is also based on concepts such as: social rejection, disabilities (predominantly auditory), immigration, inability to adapt to cultural patterns, an emotional climate characterized by expressing excessive emotions, an onset with significant stressors or a postpartum hormonal situation.
Highlights
Vulnerability is a concept closer to the broad area of schizophrenia, while that of mental fragility is closer to the psychological concept of stress
The hypothesis is directly related to the stress-diathesis model and the load of each, on the specific case in question, having the extreme possibility of schizophrenia described in Predescu, namely that category D which represents a percentage of 20% of patients who recover with a considerable defect, and the functioning of the delusional disorder or the spectacular return of the Brief Psychotic Disorders
Vulnerability includes traits that are expressed through perceptible, sometimes measurable changes that exist before the onset of psychosis symptoms
Summary
Mental health problems are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or lack of education. Mental illness affects young and old, men and women, and does not take into account nationality or ethnic roots, level of education or financial status (Tereanu, 2011). Vulnerability is a concept closer to the broad area of schizophrenia, while that of mental fragility is closer to the psychological concept of stress. It is currently known that in mental illness the judgment is based on the stress - diathesis model, and this one has particular connotations depending on the premorbid personality and/or the onset or aggravating circumstances of delirium. The hypothesis is directly related to the stress-diathesis model and the load of each, on the specific case in question, having the extreme possibility of schizophrenia described in Predescu, namely that category D which represents a percentage of 20% of patients who recover with a considerable defect, and the functioning of the delusional disorder or the spectacular return of the Brief Psychotic Disorders
