This study aims to highlight the importance of accurately diagnosing early-onset psychosis to prevent misdiagnosis as autism spectrum disorder.
Detailed evaluation of a 13-year-old boy misdiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who exhibited behavioral changes.
Assessment included reviewing symptoms such as aggression, decreased interaction, and diagnostic procedures to rule out other conditions.
Treatment involved administration of oral risperidone, with observation of symptom improvement.
The patient showed significant improvement in symptoms following risperidone treatment.
Diagnosis of early-onset psychosis was established after investigating the timeline of symptoms and ruling out autoimmune encephalitis.
Comprehensive clinical assessments are emphasized to guide effective interventions and enhance patient outcomes.
