Psychological Disorders Trivia Questions

1. With the increase in video and sound card technology, the video games industry is new compared with other entertainment media but it is massive. When were concerns first publicly raised about video games being addictive?

From Quiz
Don't Stop Me Now

Answer: The 90s

In 1980, Roy Traubshaw, a English fan of the role-playing board game Dungeons and Dragons, constructed an electronic version of that game whilst at university. A year later Richard Bartl, a classmate took control over the game, expanding the number of potential players and their action options. He called the game MUD (for Multi-User Dungeons, later Multi-user Domain), and released it onto the Internet. In the 90s, MUDs became multi-user fantasy games and were electronic adventures run on a large network, usually fuelled by university computers. Players commonly spent many hours a day logged onto alternative realities based on 'Star Trek', 'The Hobbit', or adaptations of McCaffrey's novels about the dragon riders' universe Pern. A Kevin Kelly report in "Wired" in 1993 noted many players spending over 12 hours per session. This worried parents and university administrators. This was the first known report on video games addiction.

2. What is the unusual delusional belief present in Cotard's syndrome?

From Quiz Psychiatric Symptoms Quiz

Answer: That you are dead

This symptom of psychotic illness was described by a neurologist called Cotard in the nineteenth century. It is quite rare and can be very distressing to the sufferer, who may ask to be buried.

3. Stockholm syndrome earned its name when what kind of establishment was robbed in Stockholm in 1973?

From Quiz Stockholm Syndrome

Answer: A bank

During the time of August 23-28 1973, bank employees were held captive in the vault of Kreditbanken in the Norrmalmstorg area of Stockholm. The employees began to feel sympathetic toward their captors and even refused assistance such as food and possible means of escape. When they were released, they defended their captors.

4. A good portrayal of this type of amnesia was "50 First Dates" when Lucy was unable to create new memories. What type of amnesia is it?

From Quiz Hung Up

Answer: Anterograde Amnesia

Anterograde amnesia is the disorder that disallows the creation of all or most new memories. Like many disorders of the brain, anterograde amnesia remains a mystery but some causes have been noted; traumatic brain injury, blackouts from alcohol intoxification and drug use to name a few. The area of the brain involved with this disorder is the temporal cortex. Retrograde amnesia involves forgetting past events but current events are kept in the memory bank. Psychogenic amnesia is from psychological stresses and is the inability to remember personal information, autobiographical information if you will. In "50 First Dates" Lucy was stuck in time on Sunday, October 13. On that date, she was involved in a serious car accident with her father. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and developed anterograde amnesia.

5. SAD is the acronym for an odd and potentially debilitating mental condition that occurs more at certain times of the year than at others. What is the full name for this condition?

From Quiz Mental Illness in CATS and DOGS

Answer: Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a condition that brings about symptoms of mild or very severe depression during the winter in people who live in northern climates where the days grow shorter. It may be related to the disconnect between our normal circadian rhythms and the daily schedule of the artificially lit industrial environment. Symptoms range from weight loss or gain to feelings of despair. Exercise and increased exposure to daylight can help relieve mild cases of the depression associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). For more severe cases, medication or exposure to very bright artificial light may be prescribed. Vitamin D is also believed to be beneficial.

6. How did Jerusalem Syndrome get its name?

From Quiz Jerusalem Syndrome

Answer: It affects tourists visiting Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Syndrome is a psychotic disorder that affects tourists visiting Jerusalem, hence the name. People affected with Jerusalem Syndrome suffer from delusions with religious overtones. They may believe they are in contact with a Biblical figure, such as a prophet, or a disciple of Jesus, and that they have been commanded to undertake certain tasks. They often dress in a Biblical style, and have even been found riding a white donkey! Sometimes they become very agitated and disrupt public order.

7. Which, out of the five most common anxiety disorders, is the most frequently diagnosed in the US?

From Quiz Anxiety and Panic Disorders

Answer: generalized anxiety disorder

The five major types of anxiety disorders are: GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), social phobia, and panic disorder.

8. PTSD was first included in America's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) in which decade?

From Quiz Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder

Answer: 1980s

PTSD became recognized mainly as a result of the effects on forces personnel during the Vietnam War. It wasn't a new illness, of course - during World War I it was called 'shell shock' and poorly understood.

9. What is an example of a Type 1 symptom in patients with schizophrenia?

From Quiz Schizophrenia in General

Answer: Hallucinations

A positive, or Type I, symptom is characterized by the presence of strange or unusual perceptions and even thoughts or behaviors such as hallucinations or delusions. Conversely, negative, or Type II, symptoms, are characterized by losses or deficits in behaviors.

10. A drug addict could also be called ___________.

From Quiz Manias

Answer: Narcomaniac

Narcomania deals specifically with Narcotic drugs.

11. The landmark OCD book 'The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing,' a collection of stories, examples and information about obsessive-compulsive disorder, was written by whom?

From Quiz Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Answer: Judith Rapoport

This is the book that brought OCD awareness into the public. A landmark when it was first published in the 1980s, some of its information treatment-wise is now a bit outdated but the book is a classic in the field of OCD literature nevertheless.

12. Saddam Hussein and other power thirsty world leaders could be considered what?

From Quiz What Type Of Maniac?

Answer: Megalomaniacs

13. Bipolar Disorder develops at least once in the lifetime of approximately what percent of the population?

14. "Beauty and the Beast" is a true and noble story of a love that goes past outward appearance... or is it? Instead, it's more likely that Belle fell prey to what disorder where the captive emotionally bonds with their captor?

From Quiz Disney Diagnostics

Answer: Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome got its name from a bank robbery attempt in Stockholm, Sweden involving four employees held captive in a vault. These employees started sympathizing with their captors, and one even said that she trusted her captors but was afraid of the police. Since then it has been used to describe hostage and kidnapping situations all over the world.

15. What is the delusional belief in Capgras' syndrome?

From Quiz Psychiatric Symptoms Quiz

Answer: That people are not who they seem to be

Capgras is an example of delusional misidentification, where you believe that people around you have been replaced by replicas or imposters. Capgras, who first described it, was a French psychiatrist in the early 20th century.

16. Which Swedish scientist, better known for his studies of narcotic drugs, coined the term Stockholm syndrome?

From Quiz Stockholm Syndrome

Answer: Nils Bejerot

Bejerot worked for the Swedish police as an expert on drug use and studies. He was often called by other countries, including the United States, to help assist in the forming of drug policies. Bejerot originally called Stockholm syndrome Norrmalmstorgssyndromet, after the area of the city the robbery occurred in but it was later popularized with its English name. While Bejerot coined the term, it was Frank Ochberg who clearly defined what Stockholm syndrome was and was able to identify hostages and rescue them by developing techniques to combat it.

17. A friend has just opened up and told someone close to them about their mental diagnosis. What would be the best way for a friend to show their support for the person who has the mental illness?

From Quiz How to Help a Friend with Mental Disorders

Answer: let the person know that that they are available to talk, help or listen

Admitting or talking about a mental diagnosis or condition is a huge step to the person who has it. Two of the most common fears are rejection or the fear of being alone. Sometimes a person will even withdraw from friends or family because of the fear of rejection. The biggest support a friend can offer is to let the person know that they will be there for them. Being available to talk or listen gives the person reassurance they will not be alone.

18. Antisocial Personality Disorder tends to be diagnosed in men. What might a forensic patient say that would cause the psychologist to suspect APD, rather than ordinary criminal behavior?

From Quiz Personality Disorder Quotes

Answer: "It was his own fault. I wouldn't have shot him if he hadn't come at me with that bat. Besides, he should have had an alarm system."

APD is the current formal diagnosis for individuals who are commonly called "psychopaths" or "sociopaths." Among the most prominent symptoms are reckless disregard for the safety of others, criminal behavior, and especially, a lack of remorse. The patient with APD seems to have no conscience.

19. Someone suffering from a long-term illness with little or no hope of recovery, might determine that they'd rather die. What is it called when the sufferer kills himself or herself with the help of a doctor or family member?

From Quiz Suicide Demons

Answer: assisted suicide

A terminal or long-term illness can cause feelings of despair and hopelessness. The term "assisted suicide" generally categorizes a death where a family member or medical professional provides the means for the suicide. Euthanasia describes the situation where the family member or medical professional is the one to take the patient's life. In 1992, Dell published a book by Derek Humphry named "Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-Deliverance and Assisted Suicide for the Dying". The book was written after Humphry assisted in the death of his wife, who was terminally ill from cancer.

20. Used in conjunction with medications and other therapies, ECT remains an option for the treatment of mood disorders. What does ECT stand for?

From Quiz Common Mental Illnesses and Treatments

Answer: Electro-Convulsive Therapy

Unlike its depiction in the movie "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", modern ECT is performed under light anaesthetic and the most common side effect is a short-term headache.

21. Which famous author was apparently affected with Jerusalem Syndrome while on a visit to the Holy Land?

From Quiz Jerusalem Syndrome

Answer: Nikolai Gogol.

Nikolai Gogol, the nineteenth-century Russian author, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1948. While it is possible that Gogol was mentally ill before coming to the Holy Land (it appears that he may have suffered from bipolar disorder), his visit apparently resulted in increasingly severe religious delusions. As a matter of fact, he died two years after returning to Russia from Jerusalem, as the result of religious fasts. Mark Twain visited the Holy Land and wrote about his experience in "Innocents Abroad". As far as I know, the other two authors did not visit the Middle East.

22. What is the main difference between a generalized anxiety disorder and a panic disorder?

From Quiz Anxiety and Panic Disorders

Answer: A panic disorder causes random, unrelated panic attacks.

A panic disorder is classified by frequent, random and unrelated panic attacks or "nervous episodes".

23. What age group suffers mostly from major depression?

From Quiz The Story Of Depression

Answer: Young women

About twice as many women have the disease as men. This is because they go through hormonal changes like menstruation, unplanned pregnancies, miscarriages or menopause. This can also result from single mothers balancing a career and raising a family alone or caring for an elderly parent, if the person is genetically susceptible to depression.

24. Logomania is associated with _________.

From Quiz Manias

Answer: Talking

Logo: refers to Speech, originated from Greek word 'logos'.

25. Along with cognitive behavioural therapy, what is the treatment of choice for OCD sufferers?

From Quiz Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Answer: SSRIs

SSRIs include such drugs as Prozac, Zoloft, and others that are known to significantly help OCD sufferers.

26. Dipsomaniacs have an obssesion with what?

From Quiz What Type Of Maniac?

Answer: Alcohol

27. When a person has suffered numerous hypomanic and depressive symptoms for over 2 years, but the symptoms are not serious enough or long enough in duration to be considered a mood episode, it is called what?

From Quiz Bipolar Disorder

Answer: Cyclothymic Disorder

Cyclothymic Disorder is very similar to Bipolar Disorder, but it is not classifed as a subset of Bipolar Disorder.

28. To try to explain how video games addiction affects people, it is often compared with what other addiction/compulsion that has similar symptoms?

From Quiz Don't Stop Me Now

Answer: Gambling addiction

Video games addiction was focused on presumed built-in reward systems of video games to explain their addictivity. Many video games, particularly huge multiplayer online role-playing games (eg 'World of Warcraft', 'Albion Online') and mobile games (such as 'Pokemon Shuffle' and 'Mortal Kombat X') rely on a "compulsion loop" or "core loop" which are a continuous cycle of activities that reward the player and impel them to continue to another cycle, thereby keeping them in the game. Anticipation of such rewards can release dopamine into the body, so that once the reward is obtained, the person remembers it as a pleasurable feeling. This is similar to the same neurological reaction associated with gambling addiction.

29. Anhedonia is a very common symptom in depressive illnesses. What is it?

From Quiz Psychiatric Symptoms Quiz

Answer: Inability to feel enjoyment

The feeling that you cannot gain any enjoyment from life, or from activities you used to enjoy, is often a central feature of depression. If it becomes severe it can be very dangerous and lead to self-harm or suicide, and so help should always be sought if this symptom is noted.
