1.- Substance/Medication-Induced Psychotic Disorder

Synonyms and keywords: Medication induced psychotic disorder; substance induced psychotic disorder; substance-medication induced psychotic disorder;

Differential Diagnosis

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

The prevalence of substance/medication-induced psychotic disorder is unknown of the overall population.[1]

Risk Factors

  • Cocaine usage
  • Heavy and constant ingestion of alcohol
  • History of psychopathic disorder [1]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Poor prognosis factors include:

Diagnostic Criteria

  • A. Presence of one or both of the following symptoms:
1. Delusions
2. Hallucinations

AND

  • B. There is evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings of both (1) and (2):
1. The symptoms in Criterion A developed during or soon after substance intoxication or withdrawal or after exposure to a medication.
2. The involved substance/medication is capable of producing the symptoms in Criterion A.

AND

  • C. The disturbance is not better explained by a psychotic disorder that is not substance/medication-induced. Such evidence of an independent psychotic disorder could include the following:

The symptoms preceded the onset of the substance/medication use; the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time (e.g., about 1 month) after the cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication: or there is other evidence of an independent non-substance/medication-induced psychotic disorder (e.g., a history of recurrent non-substance/medication-related episodes).

AND

  • D. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium.

AND

  • E. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Note: This diagnosis should be made instead of a diagnosis of substance intoxication or substance withdrawal only when the symptoms in Criterion A predominate in the clinical picture and when they are sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention.

4.- Sleep-Related Hypoventilation

Synonyms and keywords: Obesity hypoventilation disorder

Differential Diagnosis

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

The prevalence of sleep-related hypoventilation is unknown of the overall population.[1]

Risk Factors

  • Central nervous system depressants intake (e.g. benzodiazepines, opioid, alcohol)
  • Hypothiroidism
  • Neuromuscular or chest wall disorder
  • Pulmonary disorder[1]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Prognosis

Poor prognostic criteria include:

  • Central nervous system depressants intake (e.g. benzodiazepines, opioid, alcohol)
  • Hypothiroidism
  • Neuromuscular or chest wall disorder
  • Pulmonary disorder[1]

Diagnostic Criteria

DSM-V Diagnostic Criteria for Paranoid Personality Disorder[1]

“
  • A. Polysomnograpy demonstrates episodes of decreased respiration associated with elevated CO2 levels.

(Note: In the absence of objective measurement of CO2, persistent low levels of hemoglobin oxygen saturation unassociated with apneic/hypopneic events may indicate hypoventilation.)

  • B. The disturbance is not better explained by another current sleep disorder.

Specify whether:

Idiopathic hiypoventilation: This subtype is not attributable to any readily identified condition.
Congenital central alveolar hypoventilation: This subtype is a rare congenital disorder in which the individual typically presents in the perinatal period with shallow breathing, or cyanosis and apnea during sleep.
Comorbid sleep-related hypoventilation: This subtype occurs as a consequence of a medical condition, such as a pulmonary disorder (e.g., interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or a neuromuscular or chest wall disorder (e.g., muscular dystrophies, postpolio syndrome, cervical spinal cord injury, kyphoscoliosis), or medications (e.g., benzodiazepines, opiates). It also occurs with obesity (obesity hypoventilation disorder), where it reflects a combination of increased work of breathing due to reduced chest wall compliance and ventilation-perfusion mismatch and variably reduced ventilatory drive. Such individuals usually are characterized by body mass index of greater than 30 and hypercapnia during wakefulness (with a PCO2 of greater than 45), without other evidence of hypoventilation.

Specify current severity:

Severity is graded according to the degree of hypoxemia and hypercarbia present during sleep and evidence of end organ impairment due to these abnormalities (e.g., right sided heart failure). The presence of blood gas abnormalities during wakefulness is an indicator of greater severity.
