Shed Light

The boundaries of simulation and dissociative amnesia are thin and not rarely unclear. Diagnostic criteria and a thorough clinical history are sometimes not enough to shed light on the nature and essence of one's will and conduct. Throughout history, psychiatry has been challenged to testify before society over patients’ truth and deceit. Do they share common grounds or must we accept that uncertainty is the inevitable price of truth?The authors present a clinical case of a young man coming to the emergency services with multiple lacerations in the upper abdomen and limbs, referring “amnesia” for the last five years of his life. The patient had no previous psychiatric record or any known family or social dysfunction. Approach, management and diagnosis are discussed.

IntroductionWe present the case report of a 21-year-old Chinese female, who was brought to the emergency department. We open the debate between the operative criteria stablished by DSM-5 of the clinical entity dissociative amnesia and Shenjing Shuairuo - the Chinese “culture-bound syndrome”.ObjectivesTo expose the relevance of the cultural formulation in the clinical evaluation of patients with a different non-Western culture in Psychiatry.AimsThe Shenjing Shuairuo syndrome (“nervous system weakness”) was originally descripted in China, it has a gradual onset, usually after a stressful event. It involves a minimum 3 of 5 symptoms group: weakness, emotions, excitement, neurological pain and sleep. This complex group of symptoms overlap with dissociative syndrome such as dissociative amnesia.Methods/resultsThe cultural formulation interview (CFI) was used for the diagnostic and subsequent treatment of dissociative amnesia with fugue in a different culture patient who met the clinical criteria of this two divergent clinic entities.ConclusionsIn our clinical practice, we will deal with different culture patients, who could present common clinical entities or with the so-called “culture-bound syndromes”. The cultural formulation of the clinical cases will help the clinicians to diagnose and have better treatment's options in clinical manifestations do not correspond to the conventional entities included in mostly Western-based nomenclatures.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

В статье представлено описание семейного случая миотонической дистрофии Россолимо-Штейнерта-Куршмана-Баттена. Диагноз подтвержден в результате ДНК-диагностики: выявлено увеличенное число копий CTG-повтора гена DMPK, ответственного за развитие миотонической дистрофии. A family case report of Rossolimo-Steinert-Curschmann myotonic dystrophy is presented. An increased number of copies of CTG-repeats of the DMPK gene responsible for the development of MD, i.e., the diagnosis was confirmed by molecular genetic method.
