Psychiatric Aspects of Hyponatremia – A Clinical Approach

Abstract

Presence of symptoms and signs suggestive of psychiatric illness is not pathognomonic of primary psychiatric illness. It represents a nonspecific cluster of signs and symptoms that may occur in a broad array of medical, neurologic and surgical disorders or as a consequence of substance abuse, withdrawal of drugs or pharmacologic treatment. Electrolyte abnormalities are few among others where behavioral symptoms are often contributed to psychiatric illness which is often under evaluated and go unrecognized. We will be discussing about the Psychiatric aspects of Hyponatremia.
