Multiple Factors Underlying Diagnostic Etiology of Psychosis: A Case Report.

Psych Congress 2023
Psychosis is a complex syndrome that involves multiple biopsychosocial factors. In this case report, we present a patient with multiple confusing factors involving the main suspicion of schizophrenia, where celiac disease, a complex gastrointestinal disease that has an increased risk of psychosis, is present. Substance use involves the possibility of producing central nervous system damage and worsening of a primary psychosis; dual diagnosis can severely affect prognosis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has neuropsychiatric manifestations and can also produce cognitive impairment. Analyzing these factors can improve diagnostic and treatment efficacy.
