Fluid intake, what's dopamine got to do with it?
2021, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Anecdotal evidence from clinical populations suggests that disrupted dopamine signaling is associated with changes in water intake. For example, decreased water intake has been reported in patients with Parkinson's disease [55], while copious intake is observed in patients with schizophrenia [56, 57]. Seminal studies establishing a role for dopamine in the control of fluid intake demonstrated that central injections of dopamine increased water intake in hydrated rats, while the dopamine antagonist haloperidol inhibited water intake stimulated by overnight deprivation [58].
Development of diagnostic criteria and severity scale for polydipsia: A systematic literature review and well-experienced clinicians’ consensus
2021, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Polydipsia leads to water intoxication when the kidney fails to excrete excess fluid, which in turn often results in a variety of neurological, gastrointestinal, and psychiatric symptoms due to cerebral or visceral edema, such as nausea, vomiting, delirium, seizures, and coma (De Leon et al., 1994; Hawken et al., 2009). Water intoxication associated with polydipsia is reported to be seen in 1–5% of patients with chronic psychiatric disorders (De Leon et al., 1994). Moreover, water intoxication is associated with greater illness severity and increased mortality among patients with psychiatric disorders (Hawken et al., 2009; Loas and Mercier-Guidez, 2002; Vieweg et al., 1985).
