Psychiatry That Starts With the Roots
We developed The Tree Model of Trauma and Mental Health to outline the cause and effect nature of many mental health symptoms.
Hover over each condition and click for further explanation.
Hallucinations
Hallucinations refer to perceptions in the absence of external stimulus. This could be in any of the senses: visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory or gustatory. These are common in conditions such as schizophrenia and certain kinds of dementia.
Mania
Mania is a state of abnormally elevated arousal, affect, and energy level. It is commonly seen in bipolar disorder. Symptoms can include rapid speech, decreased need for sleep, increased goal-directed activities and might also involved impulsive risky behaviors.
Disordered eating
Disordered eating refers to a wide range of abnormal eating behaviors, many of which are shared with diagnosed eating disorders. The main thing differentiating disordered eating from an eating disorder is the level of severity and frequency of behaviors.
Nightmares flashbacks
Nightmares are disturbing dreams that cause distress or anxiety. Flashbacks are intense, recurrent memories of a past traumatic event, often experienced by people with PTSD.
Anhedonia irritability
Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure, often seen in major depressive disorder. Irritability is a feeling of agitation and easily annoyed that can be a symptom of numerous mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety disorders.
Sleep appetite energy
Disturbances in sleep, appetite, and energy level are common symptoms in many mental health disorders, including but not limited to depression and anxiety disorders.
Suicidal ideation
Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts about, or an unusual preoccupation with, suicide. The range of suicidal ideation varies greatly from fleeting thoughts, to extensive thoughts, to detailed planning.
Self-harm
Self-harm or self-injury means hurting oneself on purpose, often as a way of dealing with deep distress and emotional pain. It includes anything you do to intentionally injure yourself.
Hopeless helpless worthless
Feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness are common in numerous mental health disorders, particularly depression. These feelings can often lead to a bleak outlook on one's life and future.
Depression anxiety
Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood, causing significant impairment in daily life. Anxiety disorders are characterized by a general term for disorders that cause excessive fear, anxiety, and related behavioral disturbances.
Isolating defiance learning
Isolation is a common symptom in many mental health disorders, where the individual withdraws from social interactions. Defiance, or oppositional behavior, and learning difficulties can be symptoms or features of disorders such as ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Domestic violence
Domestic violence involves violent or aggressive behavior within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner.
Access to care poor health
Limited access to healthcare and poor health can contribute to mental health issues. This could be due to various reasons like geographical location, financial limitations, and quality of available healthcare services.
Poverty
Poverty can be a stressor that contributes to mental health issues. The lack of financial stability can increase the risk of various mental health disorders.
Genetic predisposition
Genetic predisposition refers to the increased likelihood of developing a particular disease based on a person's genetic makeup. A genetic predisposition results from specific genetic variations that are often inherited from a parent. These genetic changes contribute to the development of a disease but do not directly cause it. Some people with a predisposing genetic variation will never get the disease while others will, even within the same family.
Bullying neglect
Bullying involves repeated aggressive behavior intended to harm another individual. Neglect, a form of child maltreatment, is when a caregiver does not provide for a child's basic needs, including physical, educational, or emotional needs.
In-utero substance exposure
In-utero substance exposure refers to exposure of the fetus to drugs or alcohol while in the womb. This can lead to a range of developmental and health issues in the child.
In-utero maternal illness
In-utero maternal illness refers to any disease or condition the mother has during pregnancy that has potential to affect the developing fetus, including mental health disorders.
Trauma
Trauma refers to experiences that cause intense physical and psychological stress reactions. It can include events like surviving a natural disaster, physical or sexual assault, or witnessing a violent event.
