Activation should be at the top of the differential diagnosis list when a patient s condition deteriorates while taking antidepressants. If the physician misidentifies drug-induced activation as caused by the patient s original psychiatric disorder, the doctor is likely to continue, or even increase, the antidepressant dose, ultimately causing mania and psychosis. [Pg.123]

The differential diagnosis considerations include reactive psychosis, schizophrenia, that are excluded according to anamnesis data and lack of other specific features for these diseases. [Pg.46]

Another field that is likely to be affected in a positive way by hair analysis is the diagnosis of PCP-induced toxic psychosis. The differentiation between toxic and nontoxic psychosis is difficult by conventional psychiatric evaluations however, it can be readily made by analyzing hair for PCP. This was not possible with urine, presumably because toxic psychosis results from distant rather than recent PCP use. [Pg.248]
