Abstract

This is an updated review of child and adolescent somatic disorders associated with psychosis/psychotic symptoms, organized into neurologic, infectious, genetic, inborn errors of metabolism, autoimmune, rheumatologic, endocrine, nutritional, metabolic, and iatrogenic categories. When possible clinical manifestations or types of psychotic symptoms and proposed neuropathogenesis causing the neuropsychiatric symptoms are included. In some cases, the psychiatric symptoms may be the first presentation of the disease. The authors hope that this review will aid child and adolescent psychiatrists in considering alternative etiologies of youth presenting with psychosis and encourage appropriate physical examination, history, and further work-up when suspected.
