Abstract

Psychosis and depression are mental disorders that can exist secondary to some medical disorders and may be associated with the use of drugs. The most frequent causes of these disorders are substance abuse, infections (especially central nervous system infections), hormone or collagen tissue disorders, cancer, and side effect of drugs used to treat diseases. Hypercalcemia is referred as high level of calcium in the blood - higher than 10,2 mg/dl - and is often seen with parathyroid adenoma. Hypercalcemia may cause several symptoms. In this case report, we represent the case of a patient who presented with delusion of persecution and depressive symptoms probably secondary to hypercalcemia.

Özet

Psikoz ve depresyon ruhsal hastalıklar olup ruhsal olmayan birçok tıbbi hastalığa ve ilaç kullanımına ikincil olarak da görülebilmektedir. En sık olarak madde kullanımı, infeksiyöz nedenler (özellikle santral sinir sistemi infeksiyonları), hormonal bozukluklar, kanserler ve kollajen doku hastalıklarına ikincil gelişmekle birlikte, bu hastalıklarda kullanılan ilaçların yan etkisi olarak da ortaya çıkabilmektedir (1). Hiperkalsemi kan kalsiyum düzeyinin 10,2 mg/dl değerinin üstünde olması durumu olup çoğunlukla paratiroid adenomuna bağlı olarak görülür. Hiperkalsemiye bağlı olarak birçok belirti görülebilmektedir. Bu vaka sunumunda hiperkalsemiye ikincil olduğu düşünülen perseküsyon hezeyanları ve depresif belirtileri olan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
