Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a serious and chronic mental health disorder that poses significant challenges for patients, families, and society, particularly due to issues with treatment adherence impacting prognosis.
- A study involving 320 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in Morocco identified that a majority (about 74%) were non-adherent to their medication, with factors like youth, lack of education, living alone, and severe symptoms contributing to this non-adherence.
- Findings also highlighted that non-adherent patients had more severe symptoms, poor insight into their condition, and experienced significant side effects from treatment, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies to improve adherence and outcomes.
Introduction: eating disorders (EDs) are particularly common among young adults, including students. The purpose of this study is to determine eating disorder prevalence among medical students in Casablanca and to assess the risk of developing EDs on the bases of associated factors including socioeconomic factors, clinical features, anxiety and depression.
Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study at the Ibn Rochd University Hospital and at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca, Morocco, during the academic year 2016-2017.
The inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion Syndrome (ADHS) accounts for approximately 50% of all diagnosed cases of hyponatremia while drug-induced ADHS accounts for a small proportion of cases. We report the case of a female patient, treated for schizoaffective disorder, who developed ADHS following the initiation of risperidone and carbamazepine. Biochemical test results suggested risperidone and carbamazepine-induced ADHS.
