Divine Sign

The interpretation of Socrates’ daimonion, his “divine sign” or “supernatural force,” has troubled scholars for centuries. Naddaff argues that Socrates’ daimonion is central to understanding the exceptionality of this “atopos” philosopher. Insofar as he hears a voice that is “alogos,” without or beyond logos, Socrates chooses to live life differently, to transform his being as that which is beyond the human. As such, Socrates ontologically disrupts the very category of the “human,” and proposes a new style of living that radically redefines his relation not only to the divine but also to the animal.

Purpose of Review. This is a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the use of Aripiprazole lauroxil for schizophrenia. This review presents the background, evidence, and indications for using aripiprazole lauroxil to treat schizophrenia in the context of current theories on the development of schizophrenia. Recent Findings. Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder that currently affects approximately 3.3 million people in the United States. Its symptoms, which must be present for more than six months, are comprised of disorganized behavior and speech, a diminished capacity to comprehend reality, hearing voices unheard by others, seeing things unseen by others, delusions, decreased social commitment, and decreased motivation. The majority of these symptoms can be managed with antipsychotic medication. Aripiprazole lauroxil is a long-acting intramuscular injection that works as a combination of partial agonist activity at D2 and 5-HT1A receptors combined with antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors. It can be dosed as a 4-, 6-, or 8-week injection, depending on oral dosage. Aripiprazole lauroxil was FDA approved in October of 2015. Summary. Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder if left untreated. There are multiple medications to help treat schizophrenia. One antipsychotic agent, aripiprazole lauroxil, offers long duration injections that optimize and improve compliance. Known side effects include weight gain, akathisia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, and orthostatic hypotension. Aripiprazole lauroxil is an FDA-approved drug that can be administered monthly, every six weeks, or every two months and has been shown to be both safe and effective.

As If

The authors thought it would be of interest to present this case which proved to be Klinefelter's syndrome with “xxy” pattern, as the patient presented with episodes of abnormal behaviour lasting for a few minutes. He would suddenly become anxious, look perplexed, start clenching his fists and at times complain of thoughts that some persons were trying to attack him. He also felt as if he were hearing voices talking to him. Observation in the hospital and EEG recording helped to rule out temporal lobe epilepsy and a diagnosis of Klinefelter's syndrome with personality disorder and psychogenic attacks of abnormal behaviour was made at the time of discharge.
