Prodromal or Factitious Psychosis: A Cautionary Tale in the Era of Increasing Social Media Use by Vulnerable Individuals.
Research on the prodromal phase of schizophrenia has been ongoing for several decades and, more recently, findings from this research are being incorporated into everyday psychiatric practice, such as the use of interviews to evaluate prodromal symptomatology. This evolution is happening in the midst of an explosion of social media use by teenagers and young adults, increasing the exposure of youth to portrayals of psychiatric experiences. For example, reports from around the world of "TIK-TOK tics" emphasize the role of social media in the "creation" of psychiatric symptoms. This case report highlights the importance of a full psychiatric evaluation in acute care settings where quick treatment of psychotic symptoms is the norm. A 15-year-old patient was initially diagnosed with prodromal schizophrenia but, after a more extensive evaluation during a second admission, she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Her antipsychotic treatment regimen was stopped and appropriate education and treatment were started, without the recurrence of "psychotic symptoms" during follow-up. It may be that patients with borderline personality disorder, a frequent condition on inpatient units, are at particular risk of assimilating symptoms as represented on social media.
