Disorders - N
Negative affectivity in personality disorder or personality difficulty
The core feature of the Negative Affectivity trait domain is the tendency to experience a broad range of negative emotions. Common manifestations of Negative Affectivity, not all of which may be present in a given individual at a given time, include: experiencing a broad range of negative emotions com a frequency and intensity out of proportion to the situation; emotional lability and poor emotion regulation; negativistic attitudes; low self-esteem and self-confidence; and mistrustfulness.
Negative symptoms in primary psychotic disorders
Negative symptoms in primary psychotic transtornos include constricted, blunted, or flat affect, alogia or paucity of speech, avolition (general lack of drive, or lack of motivation to pursue meaningful goals), asociality (reduced or absent engagement com others and interest in social interaction) and anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure from normally pleasurable activities). To be considered negative psychotic symptoms, relevant symptoms should not be entirely attributable to antipsychotic drug treatment, a depressive transtorno, or an under-stimulating environment, and should not be a direct consequence of a positive symptom (e.g., persecutory delusions causing a person to become socially isolated due to fear of harm). The rating should be made based on the severity of negative symptoms during the past week.
Nicotine withdrawal
Nicotine abstinência is a clinically significant cluster of symptoms, behaviours and/or physiological features, varying in degree of severity and duration, that occurs upon cessation or reduction of uso of nicotine (typically used as a constituent of tobacco) in individuals who have developed Nicotine dependência or have used nicotine for a prolonged period or in large amounts. Presenting features of Nicotine abstinência may include dysphoric or depressed mood, insomnia, irritability, anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, bradycardia, increased appetite, and craving for tobacco (or other nicotine-containing products). Other physical symptoms may include increased cough and mouth ulceration.
Nicotine dependence
Nicotine dependência is a transtorno of regulation of nicotine uso arising from repeated or continuous uso of nicotine. The characteristic feature is a strong internal drive to uso nicotine, which is manifested by impaired ability to control uso, increasing priority given to uso over other activities and persistence of uso despite harm or negative consequences. These experiences are often accompanied by a subjective sensation of urge or craving to uso nicotine. Physiological features of dependência may also be present, including tolerance to the effects of nicotine, abstinência symptoms following cessation or reduction in uso of nicotine, or repeated uso of nicotine or pharmacologically similar substances to prevent or alleviate abstinência symptoms. The features of dependência are usually evident over a period of at least 12 months but the diagnosis may be made if nicotine uso is continuous (daily or almost daily) for at least 3 months.
Nicotine dependence, current use
atual nicotine dependência com nicotine uso within the past month.
Nicotine dependence, early full remission
After a diagnosis of nicotine dependência, and often following a treatment episódio or other intervention (including self-help intervention), the individual has been abstinent from nicotine during a period lasting between 1 and 12 months.
Nicotine dependence, sustained full remission
After a diagnosis of nicotine dependência, and often following a treatment episódio or other intervention (including self-intervention), the person has been abstinent from nicotine for 12 months or longer.
Nicotine dependence, sustained partial remission
After a diagnosis of nicotine dependência, and often following a treatment episódio or other intervention (including self-help intervention), there is a significant reduction in nicotine consumption for more than 12 months, such that even though intermittent or continuing nicotine uso has occurred during this period, the definitional requirements for dependência have not been met.
Nicotine intoxication
Nicotine intoxicação is a clinically significant transient condition that develops during or shortly after the consumption of nicotine that is characterised by disturbances in consciousness, cognition, perception, affect, behaviour, or coordination. These disturbances are caused by the known pharmacological effects of nicotine and their intensity is closely related to the amount of nicotine consumed. They are time-limited and abate as nicotine is cleared from the body. Presenting features may include restlessness, psychomotor agitation, anxiety, cold sweats, headache, insomnia, palpitations, paresthesias, nausea or vomiting, abdominal cramps, confusion, bizarre dreams, burning sensations in the mouth, and salivation. In rare instances, paranoid ideation, perceptual disturbances, convulsions or coma may occur. Nicotine intoxicação occurs more commonly in naïve (non-tolerant) users or among those taking higher than accustomed doses.

The urinary incontinence may have been present from birth (i.e., an atypical extension of normal infantile incontinence), or may have arisen following a period of acquired bladder control. In most cases, the behaviour is involuntary but in some cases it appears intentional.
