Abstract:
Psychiatric complications such as acute confusional state (delirium), cognitive dysfunction, mood disorder, psychosis, and anxiety disorder are common in patients with SLE, with mood disorder (depression) and cognitive dysfunction being the most common manifestations. To date, the nature of the psychobiological relationship between these psychiatric symptoms and SLE is unclear. Immunosuppressive therapy is generally used for the management of psychiatric complications. Furthermore, pharmacotherapy involving psychotropic drugs and psychotherapy are administered.
