Abstract

Psychiatric disorders frequently coexist with medical illnesses. Most literature report on the occurrence of medical illnesses among patients with pre-existing psychiatric disorders. In this article we report the development of psychosis in a teenager who was being managed for multiple medical conditions (heart failure, suspected renal disease and scrotal sepsis). Illness factors and medication side effects are possible etiological factors for this. This case further emphasizes the need for adequate consultation liaison services in the management of persons with multiple medical morbidities.
