It is a relatively uncommon extrapyramidal side effect of antipsychotic medications. Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic that is FDA-approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Tourette's disorder, and treatment resistant major depressive disorder. Compared to other antipsychotics, it is thought to have a lower propensity for causing dystonic side effects. <i>Clinical Case</i>. This case report is of a 19-year-old male who was psychiatrically hospitalized for first episode psychosis and initiated on low-dose oral aripiprazole. Three days after initiation of the medication, the patient was found to be markedly anxious and pacing around his room. Exam was notable for intermittent upward eye rolling, sustained upward conjugate gaze, and limited downward gaze. No other facial dyskinetic movements were observed. <i>Treatment</i>. The patient's oral aripiprazole was held, and he was administered 50 mg of oral diphenhydramine with improvement in symptoms within one hour. Ocular symptoms, dizziness, frontal headache, and pacing were resolved the following morning.

Risk factors include male gender, young age, use of typical antipsychotics, and initiation or uptitration of an antipsychotic. Even though atypical antipsychotics including aripiprazole are associated with lower risk for extrapyramidal symptoms, the possibility of oculogyric dystonia merits close monitoring especially in young, male, and drug naive patients.

Sleep disturbance and insomnia are some of the most frequent complaints in patients suffering from depression. Some common antidepressant with excitatory effects may worsen sleep qualities, whereas others (like mirtazapine), thanks to their antihistaminergic action, are associated with sedative properties and can quickly improve sleep quality. In the case of mirtazapine, even if its mechanisms of action on sleep remain controversial, beneficial changes in sleep pattern may be observable since the first dose and are associated with a faster onset of the antidepressive action. <i>Case Presentation</i>. Despite these documented beneficial effects, we reported five cases of elderly patients (age ranging from 69 to 79) with various diagnoses and comorbidities (severe or recurrent depression, general anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and Parkinson's disease) assessed during clinical daily routine for whom the use of mirtazapine was linked to the onset of nightmares so impressive and dramatic that made it necessary to interrupt the treatment. <i>Discussion</i>. This peculiar side effect is still scarcely documented, and the literature on this topic remains conflicting; however, considering that the cases were collected in a short range of time, the exacerbation of nightmares caused by mirtazapine may be more frequent than previously believed. Furthermore, some common features shared by all the cases reported have been highlighted such as the onset of the nightmares being chronologically associated with the initiation of the therapy with mirtazapine, the disappearance with the interruption, the similar age range of all, and the occurrence of the episodes described during fall season.</p>","PeriodicalId":9631,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Psychiatry","volume":"2023 ","pages":"8843206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10089773/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9305495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Making a first diagnosis of ASD in adults has certain difficulties, including inaccurate recall of developmental history and overlapping behaviors with other psychiatric conditions. This case study presents a young man who was assessed to have no major mental illness during his first visit to emergency services in a psychiatric hospital. During his second visit, he was initially assessed to have first episode psychosis, due to his possible delusional beliefs related to the insurance payout, social withdrawal, and strange behaviors, and then later he was assessed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) instead of psychosis, because of his recurrent and intrusive thoughts. Eventually, his diagnosis was revised to ASD during outpatient follow-up after more comprehensive assessment. It is not easy to differentiate ASD from psychosis among some adult patients, even for expert psychiatrists. Cognitive rigidity in ASD may be similar to delusions in psychosis. Unusual behaviors in ASD can be confused with disorganized behaviors in psychosis. Differentiating ASD from OCD can be a complicated task as well, due to similarities between ASD and OCD. Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors in ASD may be perceived as obsessions and compulsions in OCD. Overall, diagnosis of ASD in adults requires comprehensive evaluation. Distinguishing symptoms of OCD and psychosis from autistic traits is critical for accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment. Although research in adult ASD has expanded alongside increased prevalence statistics over the past few years, more efforts to enhance the diagnostic processes in adult ASD are needed to reduce the challenges in this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":9631,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Psychiatry","volume":"2023 ","pages":"7705913"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9943599/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10769507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
