Abstract

Suicidal ideation with levetiracetam is a relatively common occurrence in psychiatry and neurology practices. However, there are no established treatment guidelines, and more empirical evidence is needed to guide medical management in these cases. This report describes the case of a 17-year-old male patient with a history of poorly controlled epilepsy on oxcarbazepine who developed worsening anxiety after the initiation of levetiracetam and presented with suicidal ideation for the past three weeks; this was effectively managed with comprehensive care in our inpatient psychiatric center, resulting in the resolution of these thoughts. To support this case, we conducted a literature review using MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), PubMed, and Google Scholar to explore existing treatment protocols for patients experiencing suicidal ideation related to levetiracetam. This study proposes a treatment protocol, presented as a flowchart, that outlines various treatment modalities based on assessed risk factors in patients with suicidality associated with levetiracetam. We conclude that establishing a psychiatric treatment protocol will enable providers to effectively manage an amenable risk factor of suicidality. There is a need for further evidence-based research studies to strengthen our proposed treatment protocol.

摘要

左乙拉西坦所致自杀观念在精神病学和神经病学临床实践中较为常见。然而,目前尚无既定的治疗指南,需要更多的实证依据来指导此类病例的医疗管理。本报告描述了一名17岁男性患者的病例,该患者既往使用奥卡西平治疗癫痫,病情控制不佳,在开始使用左乙拉西坦后焦虑加重,并在过去三周出现自杀观念;在我们的住院精神科中心通过综合治疗,有效控制了病情,这些自杀观念得以消除。为支持该病例,我们使用医学在线分析和检索系统(MEDLINE)、PubMed以及谷歌学术进行文献综述,以探索针对左乙拉西坦所致自杀观念患者的现有治疗方案。本研究提出了一种以流程图形式呈现的治疗方案,该方案根据与左乙拉西坦相关的自杀行为患者的评估风险因素,概述了各种治疗方式。我们得出结论,制定精神科治疗方案将使医疗人员能够有效管理自杀行为这一可控风险因素。需要进一步开展基于证据的研究,以强化我们提出的治疗方案。
