Eventhough polydipsia occurs frequently in chronic psychotic patients, it has been poorly understood and underdiagnosed. Many psychiatric patients have polydipsia and polyuria without identifiable underlying medical causes. Hyponatremia develops in some polydipsic patients and can progress to water intoxication with such symptoms as confusion, lethargy, psychosis, and seizures or death. Epidemiologic, etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic considerations include biological and psychosocial interventions are discussed through a review of relevant literature.
