What are the diagnostic challenges in toxin-induced neuropsychiatric disorders?
Diagnosing toxin-induced neuropsychiatric disorders can be challenging due to the overlap of symptoms with other psychiatric conditions, the delayed onset of symptoms, and the lack of specific biomarkers. Comprehensive exposure history, clinical evaluation, and sometimes toxicological testing are essential for accurate diagnosis. Misdiagnosis can lead to ineffective treatment and prolonged suffering for patients.
