Effective and Cheap Behavioral Modification Therapy to Manage Complicated Polydipsia and Seizures in a Chronic Mental Health Institute.

CONCLUSION: The "water restriction program" consisted of daily body weight monitoring and frequent checking of electrolyte data, both of which are inexpensive and simple. This program can be carried out by untrained nursing staff, who are the primary caregivers in chronic mental health institutes. Our case highlights an effective and inexpensive behavior modification program to deal with the difficult and complicated problems of polydipsia and seizures in chronic mental health institutes.
