No prodrome, acute onset
Good premorbid level of functioning
Few schizoid

personality traits
Severe stressor before onset
Affective symptoms during the episode
Severe confusion and perplexity during the episode
No affective blunting
Short duration of symptoms
No relatives with F20
As a rule- the more dramatic, acute and “frightening” presentation- the better the outcome!

Presenting symptom- severe sleep disturbance
Symptoms as in any brief psychotic disorder, although usually very extreme and delirium- like: Extreme agitation, very bizzarre and disorganized behavior, severe impairment of thought process, elated or irritable and labile mood, inappropriate affect, hallucinations in 25% (in all modalities, command hallucinations), delusions in 50% (usually bizzarre and mood- incongruent, centered on the newborn), suicidality (5%), extreme aggressiveness (4% infanticide), catatonia
Medical emergency!

Treatment of PPP

Always hospitalize! In many cases- compulsory hospitalization is imminent
Since

this is usually the presentation of bipolar- treat as psychotic mania: mood stabilizers+ antipsychotics+ BZ
In severe cases (suicidality, aggressiveness, catatonia)- ECT
Sufficient sleep is important for recovery
If known bipolar or F20- institute maintenance treatment
Consider prophylaxis in subsequent pregnancies

More F20 in the families of patients
Prognosis- better than

F20, worse than affective diseases. The more “schizo” characterystics- the worse the prognosis
Treatment- mood stabilizers + antipsychotics. Carbamazepine- very affective in the depressive type
Beware of antidepressants- high chance of switch!
Prescribe only with mood stabilizers
Intractable manic symptoms- ECT

Subtypes for Delusional Disorder Based on prominent delusional theme: Erotomanic: belief

Subtypes for Delusional Disorder

Based on prominent delusional theme:
Erotomanic: belief that another

person, usually of higher status, is in love with you
Grandiose: belief that you have inflated worth, power, knowledge, identity, or a special relationship to a prominent person
Jealous: belief that lover is unfaithful
Persecutory: belief that you’re being treated malevolently, e.g. cheated, conspired against, poisoned, spied on
Somatic: belief that you have a physical defect or some medical condition
Mixed: >1 of above themes; no 1 theme predominates
Unspecified: central theme doesn’t fit other types

Delusional Disorder (cont.)

Treatment- extremely treatment- resistant. Most patients refuse treatment because

they do not feel or believe they are ill.
Resistant to antipsychotics. Best option- typicals.
The only psychotic illness in which psychotherapy is the primary treatment option- teach the patient to cope and live with the symptoms without trying to make the dellusion disappear.

Shared Delusional Disorder (Folie a Deux) A delusion develops in an

Shared Delusional Disorder (Folie a Deux)

A delusion develops in an individual

in the context of a close relationship with another person(s), who has an already-established delusion.
The delusion is similar in content to that of the person who already has the established delusion.
The disturbance is not better accounted for by another Psychotic Disorder (e.g., Schizophrenia) or a Mood Disorder With Psychotic Features and is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or another medical condition.
Слайд 29

Shared Delusional Disorder (Folie a Deux)

Extremely rare. Only case reports, no

controlled studies
Usually in two persons living in isolated environment and being in close relationship, where the primary psychosis patient usually has chronic psychiatric disease and is the dominant one, while the secondary patient has no previous psychiatric history and is a submissive one
Treatment always involves separation. Primary patient should be medically treated. Secondary patient usually recovers spontaneously after the
Separation
Prognosis in the primary patient- depending on the disease. Prognosis in the secondary patient- similar to delusional disorder

A delusional condition in which a patient falsely believes that

someone, usually a close relative
or friend, has been replaced by an imposter.
It is not rare!
Can be part of a psychiatric illness, organic diseases, drug usage, and rarely as an independent phenomenon.
Capgras syndrome, associated with other medical etiologies, usually resolves following resolution of the primary pathology

Piblokto/Pibloktoq
Region/Culture: Arctic and Subarctic Eskimos
Piblokto, also known as "arctic hysteria," describes a

dissociative episode in which patients experience prolonged, extreme excitement sometimes followed by seizures and coma. A prodrome of irritability can occur, and during the episode patients frequently exhibit dangerous, irrational behavior (ie, property destruction, stripping naked).
Probably result from vitamin A toxicity; organ meat from Arctic food sources such as polar bears, seals, and walruses contains extremely high levels of the vitamin
Other potential causes of this syndrome include forms of malnutrition (eg, vitamin D or calcium deficiency) and the conditions associated with amok, including delirium and severe psychotic, mood, or personality disorders
Слайд 34

Clinical Lycanthropy Region/Culture: Various Lycanthropy is a rare condition in which

Clinical Lycanthropy 
Region/Culture: Various Lycanthropy is a rare condition in which sufferers experience the

delusion of transforming into an animal. Affected people may also behave like the animal they believe they have turned into. Wolf and dog transformations are most commonly described, but transformations into other animals, including birds and insects, have also been reported. In that sense, the syndrome may be shaped by personal, cultural, and regional influences.
Effectively a specific form of a delusional misidentification syndrome, it is not surprising that lycanthropy typically occurs in the context of schizophrenia, psychotic mood disorders, or substance-induced psychoses.

Wendigo Psychosis Region/Culture: Various Wendigo psychosis describes an insatiable craving for

Wendigo Psychosis
Region/Culture: Various Wendigo psychosis describes an insatiable craving for human flesh even when other

food is available. It was first described in Algonquin Indians who felt that tribe members engaging in cannibalism then turned into, or were occupied by, a feared, flesh-eating creature or spirit called the wendigo. If attempts at a cure by traditional native healers or Western doctors failed and the person went on to threaten others or act violently, execution of the sufferer often followed. While some have denied the validity of this disorder, there are a number of credible eyewitness accounts, by both aboriginal and nonaboriginal peoples. A psychotic origin of these behaviors cannot be excluded

Amok (running amok)/Berserker Region/Culture: Southeast Asia, Scandinavia Loosely translated as "rampage"

Amok (running amok)/Berserker
Region/Culture: Southeast Asia, Scandinavia  Loosely translated as "rampage" in Malay, amok is a dissociative

condition characterized by a non-premeditated violent, disorderly, or homicidal rage directed against other objects or persons. The condition, which is often accompanied by amnesia and exhaustion, is typically incited by a perceived or actual insult and can occur as part of a brief psychotic episode or as an exacerbation of a chronic psychotic illness. A similar state, berserker, is used in Old Norse literature to describe a frenzied rage in Viking warriors. Conditions such as intermittent explosive disorder; catatonic excitement; agitation and aggression under the influence of substances; and aggression associated with psychotic, mood, or personality disorders share features with amok

Region/Culture: Japan Patients with taijin kyofusho (literally "the disorder of fear") experience extreme self-consciousness

regarding their appearance. Patients suffer from intense, disabling fear that their bodies are embarrassing or offensive to others.
This culture-bound condition has overlapping features with social phobia and body dysmorphic disorder.

Koro
Region/Culture: Asia, Southeast Asia Koro is intense anxiety related to the belief that one's

own genitalia are shrinking or receding, resulting in possible death. Localized epidemics have been reported. Koro, rooted in Chinese metaphysics and cultural practices, is included in the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders, Second Edition.The disorder has also been associated with the belief that perceived inappropriate sexual acts (eg, extramarital sex, sex with prostitutes, or masturbation) disrupt the yin/yang equilibrium, thought to be achieved during marital sex. Koro has also been thought to be transmitted through food. One could also hypothesize that excessive guilt and shame about fantasized or executed sexual acts might play a role in the delusional belief.

Region/Culture: Northern Africa, Middle East Attributed to spirit possession -- and not considered

a pathology locally -- people experiencing zar undergo dissociative episodes, including fits of excessive laughing, yelling, crying, and hitting their head against a wall. Patients are often apathetic and report developing long-term relationships with their possessor.  On the basis of its phenomenology, zar could be conceptualized as a recurrent brief psychotic episode, delusional disorder, dissociative condition, or potentially a substance-induced event. Zar is an important example of how certain culture-bound syndromes can be seen as normal, or as a sign of being "selected," where other cultures would consider such symptoms pathologic.

Ghost Sickness
Region/Culture: Native Americans, Hispanics Ghost sickness is characterized by a preoccupation with death

and the deceased and is frequently seen in Native Americans but has also been described in Hispanic cultures. Symptoms are broad and can include weakness, dizziness, loss of appetite, feelings of danger, dizziness, fear, anxiety, hallucinations, and a sense of suffocation. As evidenced by this symptom constellation, ghost sickness could also be conceptualized as protracted or pathological grief or depression, which is expressed predominantly somatically and may increase the acceptability of the disturbed mental state to afflicted people and those who know them.

Region/Culture: New Guinea Gururumba describes an episode in which the afflicted person (usually a

married man) begins burglarizing neighboring homes, taking objects that he considers valuable but which seldom are. He then runs away, often for days, returning without the objects and amnestic about the episode. Sufferers have been described as hyperactive, clumsy, and with slurred speech. This syndrome has features of a dissociative or conversion disorder but also could be a substance intoxication-related condition
