    Abstract

    Psychogenic polydipsia (PPD), which can lead to water intoxication (WI), is a problem with many psychiatric patients. The case history of one schizophrenic patient presented here shows that propanolol therapy can reduce PPD and WI, possibly decrease thirst, and improve schizophrenic symptoms and behavior. When combined with regular weight evaluation and behavioral treatment to restrict water intake, the therapy can further reduce the risk of developing life-threatening WI complications.
