Objectives. Psoriasis makes a relative contraindication for lithium treatment which can exacerbate its symptoms or induce it itself. On the other hand, lithium exerts immuno-modulatory activity. Case study. In this paper, a case of a female patient is presented. The patient has been treated since 2012 for bipolar affective illness (bipolar disorder – BD) and psori­asis, which occurred for the first time during a depress­ive episode. Despite intensive pharmacological treatment, both as inpatient and outpatient, a satisfactory improvement of affective illness has not been obtained. After the introduction of lithium, a remission of BD was achieved as well as a reduction of psoriatic changes, which have been maintained until now (2021). Conclusion. The remission of Bipolar Disorder (BD) on lithium can suggest that the patient belongs to the group of the so-called excellent lithium responders. In the presen­ted case remission of psoriasis was observed during lithium treatment. This case report must be treated with caution because remission could be spontaneous and the patient needs further observation.

Rule Out

Neurocysticercosis is the most common neuro-parasitosis caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The most common manifestations include seizures and hydrocephalus. Psychiatric abnormalities are relatively rare but depressive symptoms are frequent in patients with neurocysticercosis. However, mania as a presentation is relatively rare. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are relatively vulnerable times and they can lead to reactivation of existing neurocysterci lesions. We are discussing the case of a 23-year-old female patient with neurocysticercosis leading to the reactivation of lesions in the peripartum and postpartum period leading to bipolar affective disorder. Improvement in the patient was seen with a combination of antipsychotics, antihelmintics, antiepileptics and steroids, along with improved radiological signs of neurocysterci lesions. Although neurocysticercosis is a common illness, its prevalence presenting as a manic episode is merely 2.6% and, hence, missed easily. Therefore, it is important to rule out organic aetiology in patients even with a classic presentation of bipolar affective disorder and those having any other neurological symptoms and signs.

Prevention Of Relapse

Olanzapine is second generation antipsychotic drug. It alters affinities for serotonin and dopamine receptors and provides mild sedating and calming effect. It is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, acute mania and the prevention of relapse in bipolar disorder. We present a case report of a 65- year- old man with bipolar disorder I, who developed black hairy tongue following treatment with olanzapine and completely recovered after withdrawal of treatment. Awareness about this particular adverse drug reaction will ensure proper management and avoid unnecessary investigations.

Abstract Background- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most frequently associated comorbidities in bipolar disorder (BD). While this presents a challenge in understanding the phenomenology and also the treatment aspect of co occurrence of mania with OCD. Case history- The index case is of an elderly female who presented with OC symptoms and while on treatment had mania episodes. The mania episodes presented challenges while managing underlying OC symptoms. Conclusion- The common neurobiological mechanism for the co-morbid illness and treatment lacunae are discussed. The serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate having important role in BD-OCD were evaluated to understand the neurobiological basis of BD-OCD. The index case presented with the challenge of understanding the phenomenology of the illness but also presented with opportunity to learn and successfully manage patients with such co-morbidity. Divalproex and risperidone combo was found to be effective in controlling mania in OCD patients.
