    Homoeopathic management of mania with psychotic symptoms
    (CCRH, 2026) Bhuvaneswari, R; V, Sakthivel
    IntroductionIntroduction: Manic episode (ICD-F30.2) is typically characterised by distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, along with abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy, lasting at least 1 week and causing significant disruption in occupational and social functioning. The lifetime risk of experiencing manic episodes is approximately 0.8–1%. These episodes typically recur in three to four-month cycles. This case report aims to highlight significance of individualised homoeopathic treatment in managing mania with psychotic symptoms over a 41-month period without relapse, and without the use of conventional medication. Case Summary:Case Summary: An 18-year-old female was brought by her parents to the psychiatry outpatient department on August 1, 2022 with complaints of agitation, anger, and irritability, reduced sleep, abusive language, suspiciousness, and pressured speech. She believed her parents were hacking her phone and harming her since 12 days. A consultant psychiatrist diagnosed her with mania with psychotic symptoms, and the severity was measured using the YMRS and BPRS scales. Lachesis 200C was prescribed, followed by a single dose ofCarcinosinum 200C as constitutional medicine. The YMRS score dropped from 48 to 0 within a week, and the BPRS score from 70 to 0 in three months, with no homoeopathic aggravation noted. MONARCH, score 7, suggests a causal attribution to disease improvement. Thus, indicating a correlation between medication and outcome. There was a significant improvement change within a week. Homoeopathic medicines selected based on individualisation are effective in the treatment of mania with psychotic symptoms.

    Role of Carcinosinum in managing Separation Anxiety Disorder in children
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Moorthi S, Karunakara; Srivastava, Pranjali
    Introduction: Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a condition causing excessive and distressing anxiety about separating from home or loved ones. It starts in childhood or adolescence and continues into adulthood. Symptoms include constant worry about losing a parent or other loved one to an illness or disaster, constant fear that something bad will happen, refusing to be away from home due to fear of separation, reluctance to sleep without a parent or a loved one nearby and repeated nightmares about separation. Case Summary: A 7-year-old boy presented with symptoms of anxiety when going to school, weeping before going to school, fear of being alone, always wanting his mother to be with him and episodes of vomiting whenever thinking of school for three years. The case was treated successfully with Carcinosinum in 200C and 1M potencies, with repetition as per requirement. After 14 months of treatment, the patient was asymptomatic. His quality of life improved, and the screening for child anxiety-related emotional disorders and screening questionnaire for child anxiety-related emotional disorders-parent, having baseline values of 12 and 13, respectively, dropped to 0 each by the end of the treatment. Treatment with individualised homoeopathic medicine was successful in a case of SAD in a child, showing a significant positive impact on the patient’s social and familial life with no negative implications.
