Mania and Antimanic Drugs: Overview01:24

Mania and Antimanic Drugs: Overview

800
Mania, a psychological condition characterized by elevated mood, increased energy, and reduced sleep need, is part of the bipolar disorder cycle. The exact cause of mania isn't entirely known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Bipolar disorder involves alternating manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers like lithium, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants help manage these episodes. Lithium carbonate is particularly effective as...

Bipolar Disorder

1.4K
Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition marked by significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of mania and depression. Elevated energy levels, heightened mood or irritability, impulsive behavior, reduced sleep needs, rapid speech, racing thoughts, inflated self-esteem, and distractibility characterize mania. Individuals with bipolar disorder often alternate between depressive and manic states, with periods of emotional stability lasting an average of six months to a year.

Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview

1.2K
The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

Positive Symptoms Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.1K
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that significantly impact cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation. Among these, the positive symptoms stand out as they involve the addition or exaggeration of normal mental functions, deviating markedly from typical behavior and perception. Hallucinations and delusions are prominent positive symptoms, each profoundly affecting the individual's experience of reality.

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.3K
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
Thought Disorders
Disorganized and unusual thought processes mark thought disorders in schizophrenia. One key feature is disorganized speech, where an individual's conversation includes...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

706
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Bipolar affective disorder is a primary diagnosis.
  • Delirium is typically not considered to co-exist with functional psychoses.
  • A subtype of bipolar disorder presents with features of both mania and delirium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report two cases illustrating a subtype of bipolar affective disorder.
  • To propose the term Manic Pseudo-Delirium (MP-D) for consistent recognition and characterization.
  • To explore potential explanations for MP-D to guide future research.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients.
  • Extensive investigations to exclude underlying medical causes for delirium.
  • Clinical characterization of the proposed Manic Pseudo-Delirium subtype.

Main Results:

  • Two cases exhibiting a distinct presentation of bipolar affective disorder with concurrent manic and delirium features were identified.
  • The proposed Manic Pseudo-Delirium (MP-D) subtype integrates symptoms of both mania and delirium.
  • Medical causes for delirium were excluded in the reported cases.

Conclusions:

  • Manic Pseudo-Delirium (MP-D) is proposed as a distinct subtype of bipolar affective disorder.
  • This classification may aid in the consistent recognition and characterization of patients with combined manic and delirium symptoms.
  • Further research into the pathophysiology of MP-D is warranted to enhance understanding of both mania and delirium.
