abstract="Infection with HIV is correlated with increased psychiatric morbidity. Even asymptomatic individuals are at higher risk of developing adjustment disorders, cognitive impairment and especially depression. However, as most of the infected individuals belong to risk groups who are themselves particularly vulnerable for psychiatric disturbances, it remains uncertain how much of the illness should be attributed to the HIV-infection. The aim of this article is to present the latest data on psychiatric morbidity, correlation between illness progression and psychiatric symptoms, therapeutic strategies (psychopharmacology and psychotherapy) and the rationale for HIV-testing in psychiatric patients.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
