    Author: Mendelson WB, Deza PC.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 1976 Feb; 162(2):140-3. PubMed ID: 2649.
    Abstract:
    Case histories are presented for four psychotic patients who ingested large quantities of water and subsequently developed grand mal seizures and serum sodium levels of less than 121 meq/liter. The physiology of psychogenic polydipsia and related disorders is reviewed. The relation of this disorder to temporal lobe seizures and to the use of phenothiazines is considered.
