The aim of the study was to compare the phenomenology of hallucinations in hospitalized adolescents diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychotic disorder.
Diagnoses were ascertained in 66 adolescents consecutively admitted to an acute adolescent unit in Australia. Hallucinations were examined to compare their phenomenology in PTSD with psychotic disorder.
On most measures, hallucinations did not differ significantly in form or content between those adolescents with PTSD and those with psychotic disorder. In a minority of patients with PTSD, the hallucinations reflected a previous traumatic experience.
Hallucinations were found to be unreliable in distinguishing adolescent inpatients with PTSD from those with psychotic disorder.
本研究旨在比较诊断为创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的住院青少年与精神障碍青少年幻觉的现象学特征。
对澳大利亚一家急性青少年病房连续收治的66名青少年进行诊断。检查幻觉以比较PTSD患者与精神障碍患者的幻觉现象学特征。
在大多数指标上,PTSD青少年与精神障碍青少年的幻觉在形式或内容上无显著差异。少数PTSD患者的幻觉反映了既往创伤经历。
发现幻觉在区分患有PTSD的青少年住院患者与患有精神障碍的青少年住院患者方面不可靠。
