Article Synopsis
- Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a newly recognized condition that presents with significant psychiatric symptoms, often leading to misdiagnosis as a psychotic disorder.
- An 18-year-old female patient illustrates this, as she was initially treated for a psychotic disorder before further testing revealed her true diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
- Rising awareness among psychiatrists is crucial, as they need to recognize autoimmune encephalitis as a potential differential diagnosis, especially in young women with first-onset psychiatric symptoms alongside neurological signs.
