The possible relation between diabetes mellitus and the use of psychotropic medications in adult psychiatric patients has been discussed in the literature. In child and adolescent psychiatry, however, there have been only two previous case reports of an adolescent who developed diabetes mellitus while receiving psychotropic medications. We present three adolescents who developed diabetes mellitus after combined treatment with divalproex sodium and atypical antipsychotics. All were African American, obese, and had a family history of diabetes mellitus. We discuss each case and examine the possibility of psychotropic medication-induced diabetes mellitus in adolescents.
糖尿病与成年精神病患者使用精神药物之间的可能关系已在文献中进行了讨论。然而，在儿童和青少年精神病学领域，之前仅有两例关于青少年在接受精神药物治疗时患糖尿病的病例报告。我们报告了三名青少年，他们在联合使用丙戊酸钠和非典型抗精神病药物治疗后患上了糖尿病。所有患者均为非裔美国人，肥胖，且有糖尿病家族史。我们讨论了每个病例，并探讨了青少年中精神药物诱发糖尿病的可能性。
