DIP presents diagnostic challenges, despite being perceived as common; however, there is limited literature available on DIP in India. We describe four cases with a history of psychosis in the background of disulfiram exposure. Our four male patients, aged 30-46 years old, had a history of ADS ranging from 7 to 16 years. They developed DIP after 5-15 days of exposure to disulfiram in doses ranging from 500 to 750 mg. In all cases, disulfiram was administered surreptitiously based on advice from non-experts. Predominant symptomatology included delusion, followed by perceptual disturbances. Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale was applied to establish disulfiram as the probable cause of psychosis in all cases. All patients responded to disulfiram discontinuation and a brief period of low-dose antipsychotic therapy within 7 days. The probability of DIP should be explored in a case of ADS presenting with an acute psychotic episode. Disulfiram, though an effective agent, should be used cautiously in selected cases at the recommended dose.

Such situations often result in mass fatalities, destruction, displacement, forced migration, and other critical life events. Amid these scenarios, the adverse outcomes for mental health and well-being in both the short and long term must be emphasized. As a conceivable example of the latter, the proposed concept of intergenerational trauma could have far-reaching implications. In particular, in certain regions, civilians have repeatedly experienced instances of violence and may have continually been exposed to critical life events and traumatic stress. In this context, the consequences of these events for individual well-being and global mental health will likely be registered for years to come. Accordingly, urgent help and actions to address the mental health burdens within contemporary conflicts should be accentuated in humanitarian, political, and diplomatic interventions. Equally, health policies must adopt a long-term approach to support initiatives under the purview of global and public mental health objectives.","PeriodicalId":13534,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Psychiatry Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141103581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
