A clinical case is presented in which the use of a prescribed psychotropic medication was associated with dramatic changes in ethnoculturally determined attitudes and behavior. These changes were first noticed by the patient and followed a month of improvement in the target symptoms for which the medication was prescribed. The hypothesis is advanced that changes in identity may occur only after the establishment and adjustment to a new neurohormonal equilibrium. Medication-induced personality changes may facilitate changes in ethnocultural identity.
本文介绍了一个临床案例，其中使用规定的精神药物与种族文化决定的态度和行为的显著变化有关。这些变化首先由患者注意到，且发生在该药物所针对的目标症状改善一个月之后。本文提出一个假说，即身份认同的变化可能仅在建立并适应新的神经激素平衡之后才会发生。药物引起的人格变化可能会促进种族文化身份认同的改变。
