Common Expressions: disorder

ExpressionsDefinition
Acute brain disorderAny disorder (as sudden confusion or disorientation) in an otherwise normal person that is due to reversible (temporary) impairment of brain tissues (as by head injuries or drugs or infection). Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
Adjustment disorderIn psychology, adjustment disorder refers to a psychological disturbance that lasts six months or less. Adjustment disorders are caused by specific sources of stress, such as severe personal crisis (divorce, death of loved one, recent abuse) or major unexpected negative events (tornado or fire destroys a person's home). The usual symptoms mimic depression, anxiety, or sleep disorder; however the disturbance disorder is short-term and can usually be treated with counseling or mild short-term medication. If the problem persists past six months, the person may have a more permanent problem, such as a genuine mood or sleep disorder. (references)
Adult attention-deficit disorderAdult attention deficit disorder (AADD) is the common terminology for the psychiatric condition currently known as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), when it occurs in adulthood. Although the exact prevalence in adults is unknown, epidemiologic studies thus far reveal that the condition, marked by inattentiveness, difficulty getting work done, procrastination, or organization problems, probably exists in about 2-4% of adults. The condition persists to adulthood in about half of children diagnosed with the disorder. (references)
Affective disorderAny mental disorder not caused by detectable organic abnormalities of the brain and in which a major disturbance of emotions is predominant. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.

Alcohol amnestic disorderDementia observed during the last stages of severe chronic alcoholism; involves loss of memory for recent events although long term memory is intact. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
Antisocial personality disorderA personality disorder characterized by amorality and lack of affect; capable of violent acts without guilt feelings (`psychopathic personality' was once widely used but was superseded by `sociopathic personality' to indicate the social aspects of the disorder, but now `antisocial personality disorder' is the preferred term).

Antisocial personality disorderAntisocial personality disorder (APD), or dissocial personality disorder, is a personality disorder which is often characterised by antisocial and impulsive behaviour. APD is generally (if controversially) considered to be the same as, or similar to, the disorders known as psychopathic or sociopathic personality disorder. Approximately 3% of men and 1% of women have some form of antisocial personality disorder (source: DSM-IV). The word antisocial is often misused to refer to someone with social anxiety. (references)
Anxiety disorderA cover term for a variety of mental disorders in which severe anxiety is a salient symptom. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
Attachment disorderAttachment disorder is based on the psychological theories that 1) normal mother-child attachment forms in the first two years of life and 2) if a normal attachment is not formed during the first two years, attachment can be induced later. This theory is used, for example, to explain the behavioral difficulties of adopted children. (references)
