Of the multiple causes of mental disturbance in HIV infection, it is generally safest to consider organic causes first, including opportunistic infections, tumours, medications, and HIV encephalopathy. The psychological stress of the illness will cause different or overlapping presentations that include anxiety and depression. When managing these situations, one should also pay attention to the effects of stress on the social network of the infected person.
在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染导致精神障碍的多种原因中,通常最稳妥的做法是首先考虑器质性病因,包括机会性感染、肿瘤、药物以及HIV脑病。疾病带来的心理压力会导致不同或重叠的症状表现,包括焦虑和抑郁。在处理这些情况时,还应关注压力对感染者社交网络的影响。
