Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 16 years old. Before the age of 4, his growth and development and intelligence were normal. More than 11 years ago in autumn, he had a fever and received intravenous fluids, after which he recovered. About a month later, there were changes in his personality. Initially, he became irritable, cursed, cried at night, and claimed that someone was hitting him. Then, he became weak, lazy, and uncommunicative. Around the time of the New Year, he exhibited episodes of staring with both eyes to one side and performing dance-like movements with his hands half-raised. At that time, he could still communicate with us. Starting from the New Year, he began seeking medical treatment everywhere.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it may be an organic mental disorder or a mental disorder accompanied by a physical illness. You can first check to rule out conditions such as Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) and cerebral cysticercosis.
