Compulsory elective subject W522: Genius and madness - psychopathology based on well-known personalities

Tuesday, 16.00 - 17.30, Online

Lecturers: Prof. Dr med. R. Freudenmann, Prof. Dr med. M. Gahr, Dr med. R. Zeiss, Dr phil. M.Sc. J. Kröner

Illustration and development of central psychopathological symptoms and paradigmatic mental disorders based on biographies and (artistic) products/works of well-known personalities, in particular politicians and rulers (e.g. Ronald Reagan, Klaus Kinski, Adolf Hitler, Ludwig von Bayern, Silvio Berlusconi, Friedrich Nietzsche, Kurt Cobain, Evard Munch, etc.)

Learning objectives: Acquisition of basic knowledge of psychiatric clinical pictures; acquisition of knowledge in the border area of culture/medicine

Registration formalities: Online registration via Corona

Psychiatric examination course (voluntary, 5th and 6th semester)

Wednesdays, 14.45 - 16.15, online

Lecturers: Dr K. Kandler, A. Rüger

At the centre of psychiatric diagnostics is the collection of psychophathological findings. These findings are based on a medical interview with the patient and observation of the patient. The psychophathological dimensions and terms are first introduced in the examination course. Using concrete examples (educational films, real patients), the special psychiatric examination situation is presented and the associated requirements for a medical interview are demonstrated. In order to consolidate the content of the course, observation appointments with participation in ward rounds in the psychiatric clinic are offered at the end of the course.

Learning objectives: To familiarise students with the special examination situation with mentally ill patients. To overcome reservations and fears about mentally ill patients. To arouse interest in the subject of psychiatry.

Registration formalities: Online registration via Corona

Compulsory elective subject W513: Remote films - great cinema. Psychiatric diagnostics in feature films

Wednesdays, 16.30 - 18.00, face-to-face lecture in the clinic lecture theatre, Leimgrubenweg 12, UG, U.03

Lecturers: Prof. Dr med. B. Abler, Prof. Dr med. H. Graf, Prof. Dr med. T. Kammer, PD Dr med. K. Malejko, Dr med. D. Mikusky, Dr med. E. de Petriconi, Prof. Dr M. Rassenhofer, M.Sc. S. Bückle

Excerpts from feature films are used to bring psychiatric diagnostics to life. For each psychiatric category of the ICD-10, a film is selected to illustrate the psychopathology. The aim is to make the various F diagnoses (Chapter F of the ICD-10) tangible and to establish a link to mental illnesses in everyday clinical practice. Look forward to films such as Trainspotting, Reine Nervensache, Beautiful Mind, Besser geht's nicht, Forrest Gump in a new psychiatric light. Come closer, take a seat, popcorn and crisps are allowed.

Learning objectives: Psychopathology, Differential application of ICD-10 diagnostic criteria.

Useful prior knowledge: Clinical traineeship in a psychiatric institution

Prerequisites: Minimum psychiatry lecture (7th semester), also useful block internship (block semester)

Registration formalities: Online registration via Corona

Proof of performance: Subject to compulsory attendance, regular participation and written examination

Further information: Prof. Dr med. B. Abler

Elective subject: Energy metabolism and depression

Thursdays, 15.15 - 16:45, online

Lecturers: Dr biol. hum M. Ulrich, Prof. phil. Dipl.-Psych. G. Grön

The course uses the example of depression to show the interdependencies between energy, structure and function. It will be shown that the morphologically detectable changes in the brains of depressed patients (especially hippocampal atrophy) can be, among other things, the effects of glutamate excitotoxicity, which in turn is associated with energy deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction. In the context of the concept of "stress", modulating factors of mitochondrial function and their interactions with each other are discussed in detail, e.g. thyroid hormones, cortisol, nitric oxide, serotonin, oestrogens, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, inflammation, hypoxia.

Learning objectives: Knowledge of molecules and signalling cascades that interfere with mitochondrial integrity and are thus related to disease events

Useful prior knowledge: Knowledge of anatomy, physiology and psychiatry

Registration formalities: Online registration via Corona

Proof of performance: yes

Molecular and Translational Neuroscience (Master)

Every summer semester: Disorders in Psychiatry - Symptoms and Syndroms

In this module we will present the main mental disorders using clips from cinema movies. The lecture is structured on the basis of the WHO classification system, ICD-10, chapter V (Fxx). It starts with an introduction into the systematics of psychopathology and the concepts of diagnostic systems. Then examples of each subsection (F0 - F9), such as dementia, addiction, schizophrenia, affective disorders etc. will be demonstrated presenting examples from suitable movies. The module includes mental and developmental.
After successful accomplishment of this module the students have knowledge
about
- diagnostic systems in psychiatry
- terminology of psychophathology
- an overview on phenomenology and course of mental disorders

Lecturer: Prof. Dr med. T. Kammer, Dr med. V. Durner, Dr med. K. Kandler, Dr med. R. Zeiss, Dr G. Durner, Dr S. Witzel, Dr Z. Xu, Psychologists from AWIP

Organisation: Prof. Dr. med. T. Kammer

Every winter semester: Seminar in Psychopharmacology

The focus in this module is on neuronal receptor systems targeted by psychopharmacological drugs. The different systems and sub-systems will be presented by the participants in presentations, including the existing drugs targeting the given system. The particular indications of the drugs in psychiatry and specific clinical aspects as well as side effects and interactions will be discussed.

After successful accomplishment of this module the students have knowledge about
- neurotransmitters
- neuromodulators
-receptor systems in the brain
- different classes of psychotropic drugs
- side effects
- clinical aspects of psychopharmacology
