condition
generic psychiatric term for a mental state involving a
loss of contact with reality
Differential Diagnosis: Psychosis

Case
ID: 19 yr male, recently homeless. Unemployed, limited social
supports.
RFR: brought to ER by police due to concern over bizarre
behaviour (wearing a winter coat during the heat wave,
wandering through traffic, talking/yelling to self).
Case cont’d
History:
Pt is a difficult historian, however you determine that he is from the Toronto area
but moved to Ottawa 6 months ago to participate in Parliament as he believes
he is the “vice minister”. He reports hearing the voice of God commenting on his
actions and commanding him to do things. He believes parliament is infiltrated
with demons and he has been appointed to save Canada.
He is estranged from his family and has no supports in Ottawa other than staff at
the shelter.
He was an average student until grade 12 when he became isolative, stopped
playing sports, and started smoking marijuana. He did poorly in grade 12 but
managed to graduate high school. He enrolled in a local college but did not
attend his courses.
He has not seen a physician in 4 years, but states he has no medical issues.
He has never seen a psychiatrist.
He takes no medication.
Case cont’d
MSE:
“ASEPTIC”
Appearance and Behaviour: Disheveled, malodorous, wearing excessive
layers of dirty clothing. Poor eye contact, psychomotor agitation
(pacing, talking to self, punching the air)
Speech: loud in volume, somewhat monotonous
Mood: irritable
Affect: restricted affect with some lability
Perception: auditory hallucinations – command hallucinations, running
commentary
Thought process: Moderately to severely disorganized with loosening of
associations, neologisms, and tangentiality
Thought content: bizarre, grandiose, and religious delusions
Insight and Judgment: poor
Cognition: oriented X3 but attention and concentration poor

Diagnostic Criteria DSM-V
Schizophrenia
A) Two (or more) of the following, each present for a
significant portion of time during a 1-month period (or
less if successfully treated). At least one must be (1),
(2), or (3)
1. Delusions
2. Hallucinations
3. Disorganized speech
4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behaviour

B) social/occupational dysfunction
C) 6 months continuous disturbance
D) Not better accounted for by Mood d/o or
schizoaffective d/o
E) not GMC, substance
F) if PDD, SCZ only if prominent halluc/delus.
Diagnostic Criteria- Schizophrenia cont’d
Specify
First episode, currently in acute episode
First episode, currently in partial remission
First episode, currently in full remission
Multiple episodes, currently in acute episode
Multiple episodes, currently in partial remission
Multiple episodes, currently in full remission
Continuous
With Catatonic features
Diagnostic Criteria -Psychotic
Disorders cont’d
Schizophreniform Disorder
Criteria A,D, E of Schizophrenia are met
>1month, <6months.
Specify if good prognostic features:
Rapid onset, confusion at peak, good premorbid function, no
affective flattening
Brief Psychotic Disorder
One of: delusions, hallucinations, disorg speech, disorg beh
>1day, <1month.
Specify: with/without stressor, or post-partum onset, +/- good
prognostic features
Psychotic Disorders- Diagnostic criteria
cont’d
Schizoaffective Disorder
 Uninterrupted illness where both criteria A for SCZ and mood
episode
 2 weeks delusions/halluc in the absence of mood symptoms
 Mood symptoms present for the “majority” of the total
duration of illness
 The disturbance in not due to the effects of a substance or GMC.
Specify: depressive type or bipolar type
Delusional Disorder
 The presence of one or more delusions with
a duration of 1 month or longer
 Never met criteria for SCZ. If hallucinations
are present they are not prominent and are
related to the delusional theme.
 Other than delusion, function generally
unimpaired.
 If mood symptoms, these have been brief in
relation to the delusion.
Delusional Disorder
Types:
-persecutory= most common
-erotomanic
-grandiose
-somatic
-jealous
Risks:
↑age, recent immigration, sensory impairment, brain injury, social
isolation. (NO fmhx SCZ or mood)
Tx= low dose atypical antipsychotic medication
Back to the case...
The pt is quite agitated in ER, yelling, punching the air.
In trying to escape from the ER, he has been physically
aggressive
Acute management of agitation
 Consider Form 1 (request for Psychiatric assessment, 72 hours)
 Low stimulation environment
 Restraints PRN- minimize use, use pharmacologic restraints first,
reassess frequently, see hospital policies
 Pharmacologic interventions:
Antipsychotic + Benzodiazepine
Ex. Haloperidol 5-10mg PO/IM + Lorazepam 1-2mg PO/IM or
Olanzapine 10mg IM, 10mg IM in 2 hours if needed max 3 in 24 hours. (do
not give IM olanzapine with IM benzo)
(note, lower dose in the elderly. Note caution for EPS with haldol)
 Reassess risk regularly
Case
The pt was given Haldol and Lorazepam IM PRN in ER
and was more calm.
He agreed to take Risperidone 2mg qHS daily, and acute
psychotic symptoms improved gradually.
Dx- Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia
History:
 Kraeplin: dementia praecox
 Bleuler: 4As: loose associations, affective flattening,
autism, ambivalence

commentary, somatic passivity, TW, TB, delusional
perceptions, volition made impulses/affects
2nd rank: delusions, mood symptoms, perplexity

Schizophrenia
Prognosis:
20-30% live reasonably normal lives
50% moderate to poor prognosis
Good prognostic factors: late and acute onset, precip
stressor, good premorbid funct, mood,
(+)symptoms, supports
Poor prognostic factors: male, early onset, insidious
onset, single, fmhx SCZ, negative symptoms, no
remission, relapses
Schizophrenia
Substance use:

Suicide:
 10-13% complete suicide, 30% attempt
 risk suicide: depression, within 6 years of 1st hospitalization,
young age, high IQ, high premorbid achievement,
awareness of loss of function, command AH, recent dc from
hospital, tx nonadherence
Schizophrenia
CPA treatment guidelines
Assessment:
Acute Phase:
- baseline assessment:
Positive+Negative symptoms, mood symptoms, SI/HI, disorganization, level of
function, substance use screen, CBC, lytes, BUN+CR, LFTs, TSH, lipids, fasting glucose,
BMI, endocrine functional inquiry, screen for EPS, cataracts/ocular exam
- as clinically indicated: STDs, ECG, genetic testing (22q11 deletion), CT, neuropsych
testing
Stabilization/Stable Phase:
BMI: qmonthly for 3 months, then q3months
EPS: weekly for 2-4 weeks, then q6months
BP: baseline, at 3 months, then q yearly
Blood sugar: 3 months after starting AP, then q yearly
Lipids: baseline, then at 3 months, then at least q 2yearls. (q6months if LDL high)
Eye exam: q 2 years up to age 40, then q yearly
Schizophrenia
CPA treatment guidelines
Pharmacotherapy
No difference between FGAs and SGAs in regard to
treatment response for positive symptoms, (except
clozapine for treatment-resistant patients)
SGAs have a small but significant effect size superiority in
the treatment of negative symptoms and cognitive
impairment
Tx resistance
20% multiple episode pts have NO positive symptom
response to AP
30% respond partially
Tx refractoriness= failed trials of 2 AP
Clozapine is tx of choice
Antipsychotics
First generation = typical neuroleptics
ex. Haloperidol
block Dopamine D2 receptors
Second generation = atypicals
Ex. Clozapine, Risperidone, Olanzapine, Quetiapine, Ziprasidone
Block D2 receptors + 5HT2a receptors (5HT2a > D2 blockade)
Less EPS
Aripiprazole: 5HT2a antagonist + partial agonist at D2, 5HT1A

Back to the case...
Within a few days, the patient complains of stiffness
which improves with benztropine PRN.
After about a week, nursing staff notice that he seems
to be restless and pacing. Benztropine has some
effect, but he remains subjectively and objectively
restless.

You arrange for supportive housing prior to discharge.
You refer him to an early pyschosis intervention team
where he will have access to SW, OT, Psychiatry. You
encourage the pt to find a family physician.
