7 III.5 Case Studies

8 Case 1  30-year old Jane Do suddenly lost her ability to see. She went for medical work-up from general practitioners to specialists. In the mean time she started wearing large dark glasses and acquired a neat, foldable white cane. After an extensive work- up no medical explanation for the sudden loss of vision could be found.  Diagnosis: ?

9 Case 2  35-year old John Do’s father died of a heart attack 1 year ago. Since then John fears getting a heart attack despite feeling well. Yet he can’t help worrying about it nearly constantly. He checks his pulse rate frequently. He is easily alarmed if the pulse rate goes over a 80 or falls below 65, because, “72 is a normal pulse rate”. He goes from one medical practitioner to the other, including specialists, to seek reassurance that he is well. He can by reassured briefly, because his CVS checks out normal, but the reassurance does not last long before the worrying starts again.  Diagnosis: ?

10 Case 3  35-year old John Do’s father died of a heart attack 1 year ago. Since then he gets episodes of tightness around the chest accompanied by a feeling of having difficulty to breathe. Now he can’t help worrying about the tightness around the chest nearly constantly. He checks his pulse rate frequently. He is easily alarmed if the pulse rate goes over a 80 or falls below 65, because “72 is a normal pulse rate”. He goes from one medical practitioner, including specialists, to the other to find reassurance that he is well. He is temporarily reassured when his CVS checks out normal, but the reassurance does not last long before the worrying starts again.  Diagnosis: ?

11 Case 4  15-year old Jane Do’s suffers from insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. She has been thoroughly informed on how to use insulin and what her diet should be. Furthermore, she is an intelligent girl who understand all of this. Nonetheless, she frequently attends teenage parties where she recklessly overindulges in carbohydrate containing foods and drinks, which, on more than one occasion, ended in an emergency admission because of a hyperglycaemic, ketoacidotic coma.  Diagnosis: ?

12 Case 5  15-year old Jane Do’s suffers from insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. She has been thoroughly informed on how to use insulin and what her diet should be. Furthermore, she is an intelligent girl who understand all of this. Nonetheless, at times she secretly stops her insulin for no clear external gain like missing a school examination, and takes in too much carbohydrate containing foods and drinks. This results in hyperglycaemic, ketoacidotic comas that necessitate emergency treatment. Because this behaviour is secretive, her doctors wonder what they are doing wrong regarding her treatment. The patient herself seem very forgiving, tells them that she knows they are doing their best, and seems to enjoys the attention of doctors and nurses.  Diagnosis: ?

20 Psychological factors affecting other medical conditions  A psychological factor adversely affects a medical condition by increasing a known additional health risk.  It adversely affects the underlying pathophysiology, course, or adherence to treatment.  But, the psychological factor is not better explained by another mental disorder.
