Abstract

Psychogenic polydipsia or self-induced water poisoning is used to describe compulsive drinking. It is not a rare condition in mental disorders. Chronic schizophrenia is the most common reason. Treatment should be organized according to the etiology and severity of the case. In mild cases, water restriction and patient education is sufficient, but In severe cases, are recommended water restriction, salt solution infusion, diuretics and application of anticonvulsant drugs to control hyponatremia-induced seizures. The treatment of the underlying primary psychiatric disease should be rearranged after the treatment of the acute clinic symptoms. In this article, we present a 39-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of chronic schizophrenia with psychogenic polydipsia and was treated successfully with amisulpride and fluid restriction.

Özet

Psikojenik polidipsi veya kendiliğinden indüklenen su zehirlenmesi, kompulsif su içimini tanımlamak için kullanılır. Mental hastalıklarda nadir görülen bir durum değildir. En sık kronik şizofrenide görülür. Tedavisi etiyolojiye ve tablonun ciddiyetine göre düzenlenir. Hafif vakalarda su kısıtlaması ve hastanın eğitimi yeterlidir, ağır olgularda tedavide su kısıtlaması, tuz solüsyonu infüzyonu, diüretikler, hiponatremi kaynaklı nöbetlerin kontrolünün sağlanması için antikonvülsan ilaç uygulaması yapılır. Akut klinik tablonun tedavisinden sonra altta yatan primer psikiyatrik hastalığın tedavisi yeniden düzenlenmelidir. Bu yazıda şizofreni tanısıyla 14 yıldır takip edilen ve psikojenik polidipsi tanısı alan ve amisülpirid tedavisi ve sıvı kısıtlaması ile başarıyla tedavi edilen 39 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
