  • A Case of Steroid Induced Mania
    Case Report International Journal of Psychiatry A Case of Steroid Induced Mania 1* 1 Maryam M Alnasser , Yasser M Alanzi and Amena H * 2 Corresponding author Alhemyari Maryam M Alnasse, MBBS from University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, E-mail: [email protected]. 1 MBBS from University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Submitted: 14 Dec 2016; Accepted: 26 Dec 2016; Published: 30 Dec 2016 2MBBS from King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. Abstract Background: Steroids have been widely used and prescribed for a variety of systemic diseases. Although they prove to be highly effective, they have many physical and psychiatric adverse effects. The systemic side effects of these medications are well known and well studied, in contrast to the psychiatric adverse effects which its phenomenology needs to be the focus of more clinical studies. However, the incidence of diagnosable psychiatric disorders due to steroid therapy is reported to be 3-6%. Affective reactions such as depression, mania, and hypomania are the most common adverse effects, along with psychosis, anxiety and delirium. Aim: We describe a case of corticosteroid induced mania, its unusual clinical picture, its course and management. Case description: A 14-year-old female intermediate school student, with a recent diagnosis of Chron’s disease was brought to A&E department due to acute behavioral disturbance in form of confusion, visual hallucinations, psychomotor agitation, irritability, hyperactivity, talkativeness, lack of sleep, and physical aggression. Those symptoms have started few days following corticosteroid therapy which was Prednisolone 40mg PO OD. And she was diagnosed with steroid induced mania. Discussion: This case illustrates the need for more understanding of the phenomenology and diversity of corticosteroids induced psychiatric syndromes.

  • Psychopathology of Mixed States
    Psychopathology of Mixed States a,b, b,c Sergio A. Barroilhet, MD, PhD *, S. Nassir Ghaemi, MD, MPH KEYWORDS Mixed states Psychopathology Factor structure Conceptual models Mixed depression Mixed mania KEY POINTS Mixed states are not only a mixture of depressive and manic symptoms, but reflect manic and depressive symptoms combined with the core feature of psychomotor activation. Psychomotor activation is the core feature of mixed states, independent of polarity. Dysphoria (irritability/hostility) is the next most important feature of mixed states. Kraepelin and Koukopoulos provide conceptual models that fit the empirical data regarding mixed states well and are useful clinically. INTRODUCTION Mixed states pose a problem for the concept of bipolar illness. The term, bipolar, implies that mood varies between 2 opposite poles, mania and depression. Mixed states have been seen as transitional, and uncommon, phases between depres- sion and mania.1,2 Kraepelin, who emphasized course of illness rather than polarity of mood states in the diagnosis of manic-depressive insanity (MDI), argued that most mood episodes were neither depressive nor manic, but both at the same time, ie, mixed.3 He did not emphasize polarity (depression vs mania) because he considered pure polarity (pure mania or pure depression) as infrequent, whereas mixed states were common.

The aim of our study is to highlight psychiatric clinical features due to the SARS-CoV-2 infection, providing insights from the new environmen- tal circumstances resulting from the global pandemic. Materials and Methods. We conducted a review of the most recent literature involving psychiatric consequences of COVID-19, particularly focusing on psy- chomotor agitation, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders and the main guidelines for the treatment of such consequences. Results. A great variety of psychiatric correlates is involved in the present pan- demic, with a relatively wide distribution. Discussion and Conclusions. We believe that promoting studies that could explore the epidemiological distribution of psychiatric and psychological dys- functional responses to the global situation may be useful. Furthermore, the possible influence that SARS-CoV-2 may exert on specific psychiatric diseas- es claims further attention. Future research with this specific focus may help a more timely and correct management of the infection, as well as the implemen- tation of actions to protect public health.
