CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND
MENTAL HEALTH EXAM
PRACTICE QUESTIONS
(100%SOLVED)



Describe how the ICD is used as a classification system for mental health. - the icd is a
diagnostic system that looks at all diseases (physical and mental illnesses) and is used
by clinicians to diagnose patients [1] If a patient presents with any of the symptoms of a
mental health disorder, the clinician would use this section of the icd. [1] For each
mental health disorder the icd explains the main symptoms and features in order for
diagnosis to be made. [1] For example, the icd states that for schizophrenia states the
main symptoms to be delusions and hallucinations.

Explain one strength of using the ICD as a classification system for mental health. - The
icd is reliable and has consistent findings with other classification systems [1] This was
shown by Jakobsen et al 2005 who found there was good agreement in the diagnosis of
schizophrenia between ICD 10 and other classification systems [1].

Describe how Motsi may have gathered her volunteer sample. - Motsi could post an
advertisement online in both the UK and Japan asking for people to take part in her
study on treatments of mental health disorders [1] She could then use the first 25
people from each country who responded to her advertisement and see what type of
treatment they used [1].

Explain one reason why a random sample of participants may be better than a volunteer
sample of participants for Motsi's investigation. - A random sample means that everyone
in Japan and the UK who has a mental health disorder has an equal chance of being a
participant [1] this means the sample is more representative because a volunteer
sample may consist of people who are more inclined to access treatments. [1].

Explain one weakness of Motsi using an unstructured interview for her investigation. -
Motsi may ask each participant with a mental health disorder different questions
depending on their answers about the treatments [1]. This may make it difficult for Motsi
to analyse and her data to come to a conclusion about treatment choice [1].

, State a fully operationalised non-directional (two-tailed) alternate hypothesis for
Rodney's investigation. - There will be a difference in the ability to complete domestic
tasks as scored out of 32 between the two different mental disorders [2].

Discuss one biological treatment that Émile's psychiatrist could use with her. AO1. - -
The first antipsychotic drugs worked by blocking dopamine receptors in the brains of
those with schizophrenia.
- Atypical antipsychotics block both dopamine receptors and serotonin receptors and
reduce both positive and negative symptoms for many patients.
- Antipsychotics are often taken orally either as a tablet or as a liquid, or injected if the
person with schizophrenia is unlikely to take their medication.
- Antipsychotics should start to work within a couple of weeks, if they do not then the
psychiatrist may prescribe another type of antipsychotic.

Discuss one biological treatment that Émile's psychiatrist could use with her. A02. - - If
Émile takes a typical antipsychotics, it should reduce her hallucinations such as when
she sees ghosts.
- Émile's symptoms *such as* should be reduced, and she should feel like going out
with her friends more if she is given antipsychotics.
- As Émile has been resistant to some forms of biological treatment the psychiatrist may
need to arrange for her to have antipsychotics administered through injection.
- If Émile still is experiencing symptoms, the psychiatrist may try her on another type of
antipsychotic to see if it is more effective.

Discuss how Peter's development may have affected his anti-social behaviour. A01. - -
Criminal behaviour can be learnt in childhood through observing same sex role models.
- According to the self-fulfilling prophecy people are given labels based on stereotypes.
- Testosterone is a hormone and high levels are thought to increase aggression.
- Damage to the prefrontal cortex leads to an inability to delay gratifying impulses.

Discuss how Peter's development may have affected his anti-social behaviour. A02. - -
Peter may have developed his criminal behaviour as he observed his brother, who may
be his role model, fighting and copied the aggressive behaviour.
- As Peter lives in an area with a bad reputation he may have been given a label of anti-
social as a child.
- Peter is 17-years-old and has an increase in testosterone as he is in the adolescent
stage of development, which may explain his increased aggression.
- The sporting accident may have caused damage to Peter's prefrontal cortex, affecting
his development so he can no longer stop his antisocial behaviour.

Describe three features of schizophrenia. - - Episodes of psychosis tend to appear
between the ages of late adolescence and the mid-thirties, with males having it at a
slightly earlier age than females.
- Around 1% of the UK population suffer from schizophrenia.
- About 50% of people with schizophrenia have times where they have the symptoms
and times where they do not have the symptoms.
