Ahmed saeed yahya, meena naguib, shakil khawaja.Psychiatric disorder in dyt1 dystonia.Progress in neurology and psychiatry.Doi: 1 0.1002/pnp.789.Dyt1 dystonia is a rare and genetically inherited childhood onset dystonia.Psychiatric comorbidity is increased in patients with dystonia.Here the authors present the case of a 25-year-old male with dyti dystonia, previously treated with deepbrain stimulation, who came to the attention of secondary care after a near fatal suicide attempt.The authors also summarise their findings from a literature search on psychiatric disorder in primary dystonia secondary to the dyt1 gene.Reported events: reported events: it was reported that the patient had a near-fatal suicide attempt.They were found in their bedroom with a cable tied around their neck.The family had trouble getting through the door and found them on the floor non-responsive.The patient couldn't recall the details of the event but a few days prior their partner had told them their relationship had ended.Before this as well the patient started getting seizures after their dbs implant and developed focal-onset epilepsy.An eeg tracing was contraindicated because of the implant.During 2016 there were concerns about the patient's persistent low mood.Their sleep was disrupted and there was evidence of anhedonia.They attributed their mood difficulties to personal stressors.With newer medications their mood improved, however it was discontinued after one month because they had their first seizure in 2 years after the medication was initiated.They didn't have recurrence of seizures once they stopped their medication but mentioned prodromal symptoms.Their mood gradually improved without any further pharmacological intervention although they still had two more seizures even after the medication was discontinued.They also had migraines which were worse since the recurrence of seizures, and noticed whenever their battery was low that they would get symptoms.So they tried to maintain their battery level to keep their symptoms controlled.The patient described slower mobility and moderate to severe generalized pain, including recurrent headaches, along with early morning stiffness and pain.
