Psychosis Vascular

Vascular psychosis refers to a group of nonspecific psychiatric disorders caused by vascular factors. It manifests itself as mental disorders that arise due to dysregulation of neurochemical processes in the brain. The disease is often associated with impaired cerebral blood flow, but can also occur with infectious, inflammatory or toxic diseases.

The main symptom of the disease is a violation of consciousness, memory, attention, thinking, speech and behavior of a person. Some manifestations of vascular psychosis may resemble symptoms of other diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, encephalitis or meningitis. That is why, in order to make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination, which should include an MRI study, electroencephalography and other studies. You may also need to consult a neurologist or psychiatrist.

Treatment for vascular psychosis includes medication and physical therapy. Drug therapy can help improve cerebral blood flow and reduce the severity of the problems. Physiotherapy is indicated for those patients who have complications associated with decreased physical activity.

However, vascular psychosis has its risks. If treatment is not started promptly, the disease can lead to irreversible changes in the brain and the appearance of other mental and neurological diseases.
