AB The psychiatric morbidities that accompany HIV disorders stem from three
sources: 1) the virus' impact on the central nervous system; 2)
chemotherapeutic agents prescribed for: the virus, other infections,
and/or the neoplastic disorders; and, 3) acute psychological reactions
to fears of or knowledge of having the disease. At times it is difficult
to discern which of the three is the etiological source of the symptom
profile observed, and at times all three may be operating
simultaneously. For example, a depressive disorder may result from all
three. Depressive, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, phobic, and even
psychotic states may be found in patients with HIV. Treatment requires
identifying the source of the psychiatric morbidity if possible,
offering appropriate psychopharmacological agents, and counselling and
psychotherapy as appropriate. Studies describing assessment and
treatment will be described.
