  • Physiologie des maladies mentales

    Anomalies neurobiologiques et conséquences thérapeutiques en psychiatrie
    • 1st Edition
    • Bruno Millet
    • French
    Les monographies en Psychiatrie sont des ouvrages de référence sur les troubles psychiatriques et les grandes problématiques de la discipline. Elles permettent aux praticiens d’approfondir et d’actualiser leurs connaissances, en exposant les données fondamentales actuelles et leurs applications dansla pratique clinique. Quelles anomalies cérébrales observe-t-on chez les patients atteints de troubles psychiques ? Quels dysfonctionnements sont à l’oeuvre dans leur cerveau ? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions essentielles en s’appuyant sur les recherches actuelles en neurosciences (neuroanatomie structurale et fonctionnelle, neurobiologie). Il démontre comment les avancées dans la compréhension de la physiologie cérébrale, des mécanismes pathologiques et des comorbidités permettent d’améliorer la psychopharmacologie et de développer de nouveaux traitements par neurostimulation. Après un chapitre sur le système limbique et son articulation avec les systèmes cognitif et sensorimoteur, l’ouvrage explore les grandes pathologies psychiatriques selon deux approches complémentaires :l’approche catégorielle : schizophrénie, troubles obsessionnels compulsifs, état de stress post-traumatique, dépression récurrente, bipolarité, trouble panique, anxiété généralisée, TDAH l’approche dimensionnelle : régulation émotionnelle, motivation, compulsivité, impulsivité, discernement.Chaque chapitre intègre connaissances fondamentales, données cliniques et perspectives thérapeutiques, offrant ainsi aux praticiens et chercheurs une vision complète pour l’évaluation et la prise en charge.POINTS CLÉSLes mécanismes neurobiologiques des troubles psychiquesLes applications diagnostiques et thérapeutiquesLa double perspective catégorielle et dimensionnelleBruno Millet est psychiatre, professeur des universités-praticie... hospitalier, faculté de médecine Sorbonne Université, Hôpital Saint-Antoine, AP-HP, Paris.
