It is estimated that the incidence of first episode psychotic disorder is about 33 people out of 100,000 each year. Beyond primary psychotic illness (e.g., schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder), some of these patients will develop psychotic disorder due to a complex interplay of genetics, anatomical variations, traumatic brain injury (TBI), environment, substance use, and/or other causes. A small subset of patients will develop psychotic disorder due to a structural anatomic lesion, such as a CNS tumor. Here we present a 35-year-old male with worsening auditory hallucinations after surgical resection and radiation of a right temporal lobe astrocytoma in the setting of co-morbid methamphetamine usage. This case report helps illustrate how a neuroimaging work-up is important for the first incidence of psychotic disorder and how a tumor can produce a psychotic disorder that persists after oncologic treatment. This paper adds to the literature on the presentation and treatment of post-resection tumor-induced psychotic disorder.

Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.

Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.

Background: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMIS-F-SF) is a self-administered, patient reported outcome (PRO) designed to assess fatigue in healthy and clinical populations and for tracking progress during treatment for disorders complicated with fatigue.

Methods: Patients in the Mental Health Service Outpatient Clinics and healthy volunteers were invited to complete a survey, which included the Danish translation of the PROMIS-F-SF, the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS-11), and measures of depression and anxiety. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the previously suggested single-factor structure of the instrument.

Objective: The recent development of xylazine adulteration of the illicit opiate supply has been associated with necrotic extremity wounds of unclear pathogenesis. This study sought to understand the prevalence and characteristics of delusional infestation (DI) among patients with opiate use disorders who also carried a diagnosis of cellulitis.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in one health system to identify patients with opiate use disorder and cellulitis over the past three years who also described symptoms of DI.

Introduction: Psychotic depression (PD) is a highly debilitating disorder characterized by hallucinations and/or delusions accompanied by depression. A variety of neurotransmitters, hormones and corresponding receptors in the endocrine system are involved in the onset and progression of depression, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) can be an important indicator for monitoring the stability of the endocrine system. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between FBG and PD in a Chinese population with first-episode drug-naïve (FEDN) major depressive disorder (MDD).
