Psychological medicine homepage

These lectures tend to be quite discrete and well divided. There isn’t that much that I can do to combine them (maybe with the exception of human development), so I’ve left the notes in lecture order

Themes:

• Medical psychology
  • Psychology of pain
  • Adherence to treatments
  • Effects of stress
  • Health behaviour change
  • Motivational interviewing
• Mental illness
  • 1 - Eating disorders
  • 2 - Anxiety Disorders
  • 3 - Major Depressive Disorder (unipolar depression)
  • 4 - Maternal mental health
  • 5 - Psychotic spectrum disorders
  • 6 - Personality disorders
  • 7 - Treatment for mental disorders
• Typical ageing
  • Childhood disorders
  • Typical ageing progression

There is a difference in how I’ve structured some of this content, usually i have each disease in its own note but we have been given so little information i will leave the less covered things (eg anorexia nervosa) in the overall disorder class note. The larger more comprehensive ones will be left in their own place.
