Brief Psychotic Disorder
Brief psychotic disorder is triggered by extreme stress, such as a traumatic accident or loss of a loved one. It is followed by a return to the previous level of function. The person may or may not be aware of the strange behavior. This condition most often affects people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.

- Olanzapine-Induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient With Chronic Schizophrenia: A Case Reportby Syed Ali Bokhari on December 30, 2024
Olanzapine, a second-generation antipsychotic widely used for schizophrenia, is primarily known for its efficacy in managing both positive and negative symptoms. While its metabolic side effects are well-documented, hematologic complications such as thrombocytopenia are rare and often underrecognized. A 30-year-old Middle Eastern male with a longstanding history of schizophrenia developed persistent thrombocytopenia after several years of olanzapine use, with platelet counts consistently below...
- Age-related unstable transient states and imbalanced activation proportion of brain networks in people with autism spectrum disorder: A resting-state fMRI study using coactivation pattern analysesby Yunge Zhang on December 30, 2024
The atypical static brain functions related to the executive control network (ECN), default mode network (DMN), and salience network (SN) in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been widely reported. However, their transient functions in ASD are not clear. We aim to identify transient network states (TNSs) using coactivation pattern (CAP) analysis to characterize the age-related atypical transient functions in ASD. CAP analysis was performed on a resting-state fMRI dataset (78 ASD and...
- Particular vulnerability of patients with borderline personality disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic - a retrospective chart reviewby Yann David Kippe on December 28, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: BPD patients seem to be particularly vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic showing increased rates of suicide attempts during both COVID-periods. This should be addressed in future health crises by ensuring availability of psychosocial help. There is a need for further research regarding BPD patients in public health crisis situations.
- Does personality moderate the association between social involvement and personal recovery in psychosis?by Pien Leendertse on December 28, 2024
CONCLUSION: The weak association between social involvement and PR could not be explained by the moderating effect of neuroticism or extraversion. The increase in explained variance in PR implies that neuroticism is associated with PR in a direct and clinically relevant way. This emphasizes the importance of attending to negative emotions and underlying stressors in treatment of psychosis.
