Depression, episodic behavioral dyscontrol, and polydipsia following right temporal lobe damage.
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 1990; (3): 472-4
A patient referred to the authors for evaluation and treatment of depression, behavioral dyscontrol syndrome, and polydipsia is described. The authors reviewed his medical status and, finding damage to his right temporal lobe, conceptualized his symptom constellation as representing interictal syndrome and treated him with carbamazepine. His affective symptoms, but not the polydipsia, improved following treatment with carbamazepine.
