Dear All, thanx a lot for ur discussion. Here is the answer for this Q. Welcome comment!!
The correct answer is œD. While this patient may later be diagnosed with bipolar Disorder, currently the presentation is of an apparent fluoxetine-induced manic episode. The patient would have to have had an episode of psychotic symptoms in the absence Of a depressive or manic episode in order to be diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. While the psychotic symptoms that are present could be the onset of schizophrenia, the Manic symptoms would generally not be present. Symptoms must also have been present For at least 6 months to meet criteria for schizophrenia. The episode described appears To be a sudden change in behavior, not a pervasive pattern of impulsive and self-destructive Behavior that would characterize a person with borderline personality disorder. |
