Fahr's disease is a rare neurological disease that typically presents with neurological manifestations such as movement disorders. In a first recorded patient with Fahr's disease in Bhutan, psychiatric diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder with current episode of severe depression was made, which is also a known manifestation of Fahr's disease. Diagnosing a first case of Fahr's disease is important for Bhutan because, though, it is a rare disease and it emphasizes the importance of recognizing other rare causes of psychiatric illness to tailor the treatment to the individual.
法尔氏病是一种罕见的神经系统疾病,通常表现为运动障碍等神经症状。在不丹首例有记录的法尔氏病患者中,被诊断为双相情感障碍,目前处于重度抑郁发作期,这也是法尔氏病的一种已知表现。诊断出不丹首例法尔氏病很重要,因为尽管这是一种罕见疾病,但它强调了识别精神疾病其他罕见病因以进行个体化治疗的重要性。
