Kleptomania is defined as a recurrent failure to resist impulses to steal objects not needed for personal use or their monetary value. Both fetishism and kleptomania cases are generally sent mandatory to psychiatric clinics by courts. In this paper, a 32-year old male patient, followed-up with a diagnosis of fetishism and kleptomania, and referred for psychiatric evaluation as a result of multiple stealing of the “fetish”, with multiple jail experience and some social losses is reported, and fetishism and kleptomania are discussed with regard to the biological and dynamic approaches and forensic psychiatry.

Somatization which is the somatic way of expressing emotional distress and unconscious conflicts ... more Somatization which is the somatic way of expressing emotional distress and unconscious conflicts instead of words, frequently accompanies schizophrenia as well as many other psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia patients have a specific interest in bodily sensations. Libidinal energy which is withdrawn from objects is transferred to the body (soma) and the body remains to be the only real object to communicate with. It’s known that schizophrenia may start with somatic and hypochondriac symptoms, and that hypochondriac symptoms may also emerge during the recovery periods in schizophrenia. On the other hand our clinical observations indicate that schizophrenia patients present with somatic complaints in any phase of the disorder. The association of schizophrenia and somatization has not been studied much. However, schizophrenia patients expressing somatic complaints are common in clinical practice. This review aims to evaluate the meaning of somatization in schizophrenia, to assess the...

Its current treatment mainly depends on antipsychotic drugs. A leading adverse effect of these medications is the acquired long QT syndrome, which results from the blockade of cardiac HERG1 channels (human ether-a-go-go-related gene potassium channels 1) by antipsychotic agents. The HERG1 channel is encoded by HERG1 (KCNH2, Kv11.1) gene and is most highly expressed in heart and brain. Genetic variations in HERG1 predispose to acquired long QT syndrome. We hypothesized that the blockade of HERG1 channels by antipsychotics might also be significant for their therapeutic mode of action, indicating a novel mechanism in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
