The importance of neurological diseases and mood disorders for human health and life, as well as for health care and society as a whole, cannot be overestimated. Nervous system pathologies such as stroke, neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases, are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, and up to 60% of suicides are associated with depression. Antidepressants are used not only in psychiatric practice, but also in the practice of neurologists. Neurologists prescribe antidepressants to treat depression in neurological patients, chronic pain syndromes and neuropathic pain, panic attacks, eating disorders, premenstrual syndrome and for migraine prevention. The most difficult task for neurologists is to identify depressive disorders that often comorbid neurological diseases. The main property of antidepressants is the ability to increase depressed mood without increasing normal mood and without showing a stimulating effect. Antidepressants also have anti-anxiety, sedative, anti-phobic, anti-panic and somatic effects. When depression is detected in patients with neurological pathology, the prescription of antidepressants is justified not only from the psychiatric (relieving depression and reducing the risk of suicide), but also from the neurological point of view (reducing the risk of complications of neurological pathology and premature mortality from it).

“…The nature of symptoms in the prodromal period of FEP remains unclear. Different causes, including combination of a person's genetics and life experiences, stressful events, substance use or even physical health conditions (seizure disorders, cognitive impairments, Parkinson's disease and damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply) can cause psychosis [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Many people recover from the FEP and never experience another psychotic episode.…”

Psychosis is a group of psychotic disorders. Its manifestation depends on the specific type of functional violation. However, this is characterized by a gradual increase in clinical signs and a change in behavior. Symptoms of psychosis can be recognized by the following manifestations: hallucinations, delusional ideas, movement disorders, mood disorders including manic and depressive disorders and changes in emotional sphere. Psychosis occurs due to problems in the functioning of neurons. Due to the violation of bonds in the molecules, they do not receive nutrition and they are deficient in oxygen. This leads to the fact that neurons cannot transmit nerve impulses; multiple dysfunctions occur in the central nervous system. The type of psychosis depends on a part of the brain suffered from the hunger strike. The causes of this disorder are of 3 types: endogenous, associated with internal processes, exogenous or external and organic, when the causes of psychosis are changes in the brain such as tumors, trauma or hemorrhage. Psychosis is usually treated in a hospital setting. Such patients require urgent admission as they cannot control their actions, they can harm themselves and others. Psychosis is a relapse-prone disease. With timely and comprehensive treatment, the prognosis will be favorable. This review article is a good educational material for medical and psychological practitioners whose goal is to improve knowledge of treatment and rehabilitation processes of psychosis and its related disorders.

“…Psychosis usually results from a combination of a person's genetics and life experiences. Stressful events, substance use or even physical health conditions (epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson's disease and even stroke) can cause psychosis in some people [4][5][6][7][8]. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that up to three out of every 100 people will experience episodes of psychosis in their lives [9].…”

Psychosis is understood as the brightest manifestations of mental illness, in which the patient's mental activity does not correspond to the surrounding reality, the reflection of the real world in consciousness is sharply distorted, which manifests itself in behavioral disorders, abnormal pathological symptoms and syndromes. Psychosis is a combination of biological (genetic, neuroanatomical, neurophysiological), psychological and social factors in various proportions. Psychoses are classified according to their origin (etiology) and reasons (pathogenetic mechanisms of development) into endogenous (including endogenous psychoses include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, some psychotic forms of affective disorders), organic, somatogenic, psychogenic (reactive, situational), intoxication, withdrawal and post-withdrawal. Most often, psychoses develop in the framework of so-called endogenous disorder. The concepts of psychosis and schizophrenia are often equated, which is incorrect as psychotic disorders can occur in a number of mental illnesses: Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, chronic alcoholism, drug addiction, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, etc. Other types of psychosis, such as infectious, somatic and intoxication psychoses are quite often find among patients in non-psychiatric practices. This review article is a good educational material for medical and psychological practitioners whose goal is to improve knowledge and diagnostic processes of psychosis and its related disorders.
