AIDS and psychiatry, revisited
1Royal Cornhill Hospital, Aberdeen.
Abstract:
The psychiatry of HW and AIDS is a subject that now receives little attention but is still relevant to clinical practice. The mechanism of the HW assault on the brain is still not clearly understood, although early detection of central nervous system involvement is becoming easier with neuropsychological assessment. It has been suggested that HN has brain specificity, with patients presenting with cerebral problems without other physical signs. It is possible that AIDS may present with psychiatric symptoms. The mechanism of the damage to the CNS remains unclear.
