Article Synopsis
- Primary polydipsia (PP) is a common and potentially dangerous complication for chronic schizophrenic patients, requiring early diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious consequences like hyponatremia and coma.
- The exact cause of PP is still not well understood, making it challenging to find effective drug treatments; conventional antipsychotics may worsen the condition, while newer atypical antipsychotics yield mixed results.
- A case study analysis highlights the current state of research on treating PP with atypical antipsychotics in schizophrenia, noting that while some medications like clozapine show promise, their management can be complex.
