Like any other patient, a schizophrenic patient can get a physical illness, too. As such patients tend to ignore reality and neglect themselves and are stigmatized by society, due to which their physical symptomatology is often ignored, physical illness can remain undetected. If the schizophrenic patient is observed and adequate care is provided by the family, family doctor and a psychiatrist, it is possible to recognize the physical illness and intervene promptly. We are presenting a case of a female patient who has been treated for schizophrenia for a number of years. The treatment was mostly ambulatory (i.e. the patient was hospitalized twice) and consisted of first-generation antipsychotics. During the past two years, for reasons unknown, the patient stopped taking regular meals and as a result lost significant body weight, became apathetic and withdrawn, started avoiding social contacts and neglected personal hygiene. She reportedly took the psychopharmaca regularly, but rarely attended psychiatric follow-up consultations. Due to substantial weight loss and hypotonia, correction of antipsychotic was made and internist treatment administered. The choice of olanzapine was not an accidental one. We decided to take advantage of its side effect for the treatment of an anorectic syndrome. Interdisciplinary cooperation proved to be a justified decision.

(+info)Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease, affecting approximately 1% of the population over the age of 60. It is more common in men than women and has a higher incidence in Caucasians than in other ethnic groups.
The primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease are:
* Tremors or trembling, typically starting on one side of the body
* Rigidity or stiffness, causing difficulty with movement
* Bradykinesia or slowness of movement, including a decrease in spontaneous movements such as blinking or smiling
* Postural instability, leading to falls or difficulty with balance
As the disease progresses, symptoms can include:
* Difficulty with walking, gait changes, and freezing episodes
* Dry mouth, constipation, and other non-motor symptoms
* Cognitive changes, such as dementia, memory loss, and confusion
* Sleep disturbances, including REM sleep behavior disorder
* Depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric symptoms
The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not known, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The disease is associated with the degradation of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to a deficiency of dopamine in the brain. This deficiency disrupts the normal functioning of the basal ganglia, a group of structures involved in movement control, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disease.
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but various treatments are available to manage its symptoms. These include:
* Medications such as dopaminergic agents (e.g., levodopa) and dopamine agonists to replace lost dopamine and improve motor function
* Deep brain stimulation, a surgical procedure that involves implanting an electrode in the brain to deliver electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain
* Physical therapy to improve mobility and balance
* Speech therapy to improve communication and swallowing difficulties
* Occupational therapy to improve daily functioning
It is important for individuals with Parkinson's disease to work closely with their healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and improves their quality of life. With appropriate treatment and support, many people with Parkinson's disease are able to manage their symptoms and maintain a good level of independence for several years after diagnosis.
Examples of infratentorial neoplasms include:
1. Cerebellar astrocytomas
2. Brain stem gliomas
3. Vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas)
4. Meningiomas
5. Metastatic tumors to the infratentorial region
Infratentorial neoplasms can cause a wide range of symptoms depending on their size, location, and degree of malignancy. Common symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, balance problems, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, double vision, and difficulty with speech or swallowing.
Infratentorial neoplasms are diagnosed using a combination of imaging techniques such as CT or MRI scans, and tissue biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options for infratentorial neoplasms depend on the type, size, and location of the tumor, but may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
There are several types of dementia, each with its own set of symptoms and characteristics. Some common types of dementia include:
* Alzheimer's disease: This is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 50-70% of all cases. It is a progressive disease that causes the death of brain cells, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline.
* Vascular dementia: This type of dementia is caused by problems with blood flow to the brain, often as a result of a stroke or small vessel disease. It can cause difficulty with communication, language, and visual-spatial skills.
* Lewy body dementia: This type of dementia is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. It can cause a range of symptoms, including memory loss, confusion, hallucinations, and difficulty with movement.
* Frontotemporal dementia: This is a group of diseases that affect the front and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to changes in personality, behavior, and language.
The symptoms of dementia can vary depending on the underlying cause, but common symptoms include:
* Memory loss: Difficulty remembering recent events or learning new information.
* Communication and language difficulties: Struggling to find the right words or understand what others are saying.
* Disorientation: Getting lost in familiar places or having difficulty understanding the time and date.
* Difficulty with problem-solving: Trouble with planning, organizing, and decision-making.
* Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, agitation, or aggression.
* Personality changes: Becoming passive, suspicious, or withdrawn.
* Difficulty with movement: Trouble with coordination, balance, or using utensils.
* Hallucinations: Seeing or hearing things that are not there.
* Sleep disturbances: Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
The symptoms of dementia can be subtle at first and may progress slowly over time. In the early stages, they may be barely noticeable, but as the disease progresses, they can become more pronounced and interfere with daily life. It is important to seek medical advice if you or a loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, as early diagnosis and treatment can help improve outcomes.

Treat apathy2
- However, a companion editorial by an NIA grantee noted that clinicians who have struggled to treat apathy among their patients living with Alzheimer's may consider methylphenidate a safe and effective option. (nih.gov)
- Unfortunately there are no good medications to treat apathy. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Political apathy3
- However, what opinion polls fail to captivate is the uncharacteristic political apathy pervading Korea. (asiatimes.com)
- By studying young people across different countries of the EU, the current study aims to examine if youths' political passivity is better explained by political apathy or alienation. (muni.cz)
- Results from logistic regressions predicting non-voting from apathy and alienation support the idea that political passivity is best understood as the result of political apathy. (muni.cz)
Alienation1
- Apathy or alienation? (muni.cz)
Motivation2
- Apathy, a lack of interest or loss of motivation, is common among people with Alzheimer's and is associated with increased medical costs, mortality, and caregiver burden. (nih.gov)
- Apathy, a profound loss of motivation, is seen in majority of patients with AD. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Apathetic1
- In the next wave of vaccine promotion," write Schulman and Wood, "attention to low-involvement populations (the 'vaccine-apathetic') and the development of specific vaccine-promotion messaging to help overcome vaccine apathy may be a critical element for achieving national vaccination goals. (stanford.edu)
Patients3
- Patients with apathy have poor physical function and their caregivers experience extra burden. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- We therefore evaluated whether apathy is associated with volume of the VS on MRI in 23 patients with schizophrenia using voxel-based morphometry. (nih.gov)
- The finding suggests that apathy is related to abnormality of brain circuitry subserving motivated behavior in patients with schizophrenia. (nih.gov)
Caregiver1
- While not statistically significant, an improvement on a measure of overall functioning and on measures of caregiver distress were associated with decreases in apathy, suggesting that managing apathy has practical benefits. (nih.gov)
Scale1
- Apathy will be assessed using the Apathy Evaluation Scale. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Depression1
- Results indicated that greater self-reported apathy severity was associated with smaller volume of the right VS even when controlling for age, gender, depression, and total gray matter volume. (nih.gov)
Researchers1
- Vaccine hesitancy is a "mindful emotional/cognitive response" to understanding the risk and benefits of vaccination, sometimes leading to anxiety or fear, whereas vaccine apathy refers to disinterest, researchers say. (stanford.edu)
Behavior1
- The ventral striatum (VS), a key brain region involved in motivated behavior, has been implicated in studies of apathy. (nih.gov)
Loss1
- Dysfunction of the front of the brain and loss of dopamine, a type of neurochemical, in this part of brain results in apathy. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Tasks1
- Presence of apathy is linked to deficits in planning sequential tasks such as keeping a routine. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Results1
- These results are discussed in relation to potentially built-in paradoxes of apathy present in efficient and well-functional welfare-state democracies. (muni.cz)
Disease1
- Two daily doses of the stimulant methylphenidate safely reduced measures of apathy for six months among adults with Alzheimer's disease, according to an NIA-funded clinical trial. (nih.gov)
Fear2
- Apathy, fear and uncertainty - more than costs - are preventing companies from formally adopting social media technologies. (smallbizsurvival.com)
- Apathy, fear and uncertainty - more than costs" are holding back small businesses from utilizing social media, too. (smallbizsurvival.com)
Greater1
- After six months, the participants taking methylphenidate had a greater decrease of apathy scores than those on placebo. (nih.gov)
Post1
- Forum Post: The apathy of OWS is killing me! (occupywallst.org)
Young1
- Apathy is Boring is a youth-led organization offering employment opportunities to young and diverse people placing young adults in decision making and community building roles. (coco-net.org)
Study1
- Study hypotheses include that rTMS to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) will improve apathy and executive function better than sham treatment in those with AD. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Groups1
- In a recent Viewpoint in the Journal of the American Medical Association , Kevin Schulman, MD, MBA, of the Stanford Clinical Research Center, and Stacy Wood, PhD, of the Poole College of Management at North Carolina State University argue that vaccine apathy exists across socioeconomic groups and that marketing to these individuals requires a unique approach. (stanford.edu)
Years1
- After developing a loyal cult following which spans over 15 years worth of catalog, seasoned veteran Apathy unleashes his 6th studio full length, which undoubtedly is one of the biggest albums of his career thus far. (hhv.de)
Brain1
- rTMS increases dopamine when applied to frontal lobe of brain so we propose that rTMS would be a good treatment option for apathy in AD. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Treatment2
- Specific Aims: To determine the efficacy of rTMS to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in treating apathy in mild AD in comparison to sham treatment. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- Subjects with mild AD and apathy will be randomly assigned to rTMS or sham treatment after consent. (clinicaltrials.gov)
