Apparently you are talking about FOX (National Enquirer) News? Yes, I agree with you 100% - they are totally biased, a right wing pep rally pretty much!

CNN is despicable, lost all credibility with me and it's sad because I have watched CNN for many years and now they are nothing but the National Enquirer on TV. I try to watch them but always find myself back to FOX again and again!

Your passionate obsession with Trump overrules any rationale or reason. You've made that point exhausting. Shame , what used to be an informative watch, has turned to tabloid reporting. Good luck in your future . You are turning away many viewers , I'm sure.

CNN used to be my "go to" news source. You have now lost all credibility with me. I turned to Fox news because they seemed more polite, balanced, and gave me a view of both sides of the issues. They do not seem extreme to me at all. CNN's non-stop attacks on Trump have, in my opinion, become over the top bias. I am truly sorry to see a once great news organization on the demise.

I am not American and in my country the only American news channel we really get is CNN. I was amazed when the American people ousted the Democratic Party and elected Trump after the positive legacy of Obama. However I have now stopped watching CNN. They are so obsessed with their predictable and biased anti-Trump discussions that it will turn me into a definite Trump supporter if I watch it any longer.

You must be talking about Fox News

Extraterritorial jurisdiction is the legal authority of the United States to prosecute criminal conduct that took place outside its borders. Section 2423(c) of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits United States citizens or legal permanent residents from traveling from the United States to a foreign country, and while there, raping or sexually molesting a child or paying a child for sex. Citizens can be punished under this law even if the conduct they engaged in was legal in the country where it occurred. For example, if an individual traveled to a country that had legalized prostitution, and while they were there they paid a child for sex, that individual could still be convicted under this statute. The penalty for this provision is up to 30 years in prison. Section 2423(b) of Title 18, United States Code, is a similar provision. Section 2423(b) makes it a crime for United States citizens or legal permanent residents to travel from the United States to a foreign country with the intent to engage in illegal sexual conduct with a child such as rape, molestation, or prostitution. The difference between Section 2423(b) and Section 2423(c) is that Section 2423(b) statute requires proof that the defendant had formed his criminal intent at the time he began to travel. The penalty for this offense is also up to 30 years in prison. Finally, Section 2423(d) makes it a crime to be what is known informally as being a “child sex tour operator.” This statute makes it an offense to profit by facilitating the travel of U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents, knowing that they are traveling for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex with a minor. The penalty for this offense is up to 30 years in prison. There are also some child pornography laws that apply to conduct overseas. Sections 2251(c) and 2260(a) of Title 18, United States Code both make it a crime for anyone to produce child pornography in foreign countries if they import the child abuse images into the United States, or if they intend to do so. The penalty for a first time offender under these statutes is at least 15 years, up to a maximum of 30 years in prison. Finally, 18 U.S.C. § 1596 grants extraterritorial jurisdiction over 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion). In this instance, this means that federal prosecutors can investigate and prosecute foreign nationals who commit sex trafficking crimes against children outside the United States. Section 1596 also allows the federal government to investigate and prosecute U.S. nationals and residents who commit child sex trafficking crimes in foreign countries (For more information on 18 U.S.C. § 1591, see Citizen’s Guide to U.S. Federal Law on the Prostitution of Children). For all of these statutes, a child is considered to be anyone under the age of 18.

Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor. Undeveloped film, undeveloped videotape, and electronically stored data that can be converted into a visual image of child pornography are also deemed illegal visual depictions under federal law. Notably, the legal definition of sexually explicit conduct does not require that an image depict a child engaging in sexual activity. A picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive. Additionally, the age of consent for sexual activity in a given state is irrelevant; any depiction of a minor under 18 years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct is illegal. Federal law prohibits the production, distribution, reception, and possession of an image of child pornography using or affecting any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce (See 18 U.S.C. § 2251; 18 U.S.C. § 2252; 18 U.S.C. § 2252A). Specifically, Section 2251 makes it illegal to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for purposes of producing visual depictions of that conduct. Any individual who attempts or conspires to commit a child pornography offense is also subject to prosecution under federal law. Federal jurisdiction is implicated if the child pornography offense occurred in interstate or foreign commerce. This includes, for example, using the U.S. Mails or common carriers to transport child pornography across state or international borders. Additionally, federal jurisdiction almost always applies when the Internet is used to commit a child pornography violation. Even if the child pornography image itself did not travel across state or international borders, federal law may be implicated if the materials, such as the computer used to download the image or the CD-ROM used to store the image, originated or previously traveled in interstate or foreign commerce. In addition, Section 2251A of Title 18, United States Code, specifically prohibits any parent, legal guardian or other person in custody or control of a minor under the age of 18, to buy, sell, or transfer custody of that minor for purposes of producing child pornography. Lastly, Section 2260 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits any persons outside of the United States to knowingly produce, receive, transport, ship, or distribute child pornography with intent to import or transmit the visual depiction into the United States. Any violation of federal child pornography law is a serious crime, and convicted offenders face severe statutory penalties. For example, a first time offender convicted of producing child pornography under 18 U.S.C. § 2251, face fines and a statutory minimum of 15 years to 30 years maximum in prison. A first time offender convicted of transporting child pornography in interstate or foreign commerce under 18 U.S.C. § 2252, faces fines and a statutory minimum of 5 years to 20 years maximum in prison. Convicted offenders may face harsher penalties if the offender has prior convictions or if the child pornography offense occurred in aggravated situations defined as (i) the images are violent, sadistic, or masochistic in nature, (ii) the minor was sexually abused, or (iii) the offender has prior convictions for child sexual exploitation. In these circumstances, a convicted offender may face up to life imprisonment. It is important to note that an offender can be prosecuted under state child pornography laws in addition to, or instead of, federal law.

A parent who removes a child from the United States in this capacity is subject to federal prosecution, and if convicted, faces fines and imprisonment for up to 3 years. It is important to distinguish between the prosecution of the parent who kidnapped a child and the return of that child to the United States. Extradition is the legal surrender of an alleged criminal to the jurisdiction of another country. Although the parent who removed the child from the United States is generally eligible for formal extradition because they are charged with a federal crime, the child is a victim of international parental kidnapping and often not eligible for formal extradition. In other words, federal prosecutors may investigate and prosecute the parent, but they typically have no control over the return of the child or custodial decisions affecting that child. The return of internationally kidnapped children is often settled through negotiation. The U.S. Department of State handles the coordination of efforts with foreign officials and law enforcement agencies to effectuate the return of children to the United States. In some circumstances, the return may be governed by the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Parental Child Abduction (1980). This Convention was established to facilities the return of children abducted into foreign countries. The Convention only applies if both countries involved in the international parental kidnapping situation are signatories to the Convention. The United States is a signatory country.

These matters are therefore generally handled by state or local authorities and prosecuted under state laws. However, if the sexual abuse of a child occurred on federal lands, the offense may be prosecuted under federal law. Federal lands include areas such as military bases, Indian territories, and other government– owned lands or properties (See 18 U.S.C. §7). Under federal law, offenders convicted of sexually abusing a child face fines and imprisonment. Furthermore, an offender may face harsher penalties if the crime occurred in aggravated circumstances, which include, for example, the offender used force or threats, inflicted serious bodily injury or death, or kidnapped a child in the process of committing child sexual abuse. FOR MORE INFORMATION • Report Violations Updated July 6, 2015 CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO U.S. FEDERAL LAW ON OBSCENITY 18 U.S.C. § 1460- Possession with intent to sell, and sale, of obscene matter on Federal property 18 U.S.C. § 1461- Mailing obscene or crime-inciting matter 18 U.S.C. § 1462- Importation or transportation of obscene matters 18 U.S.C. § 1463- Mailing indecent matter on wrappers or envelopes 18 U.S.C. § 1464- Broadcasting obscene language 18 U.S.C. § 1465- Transportation of obscene matters for sale or distribution 18 U.S.C. § 1466- Engaging in the business of selling or transferring obscene matter 18 U.S.C. § 1466A- Obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children 18 U.S.C. § 1467- Criminal forfeiture 18 U.S.C. § 1468- Distributing obscene material by cable or subscription television 18 U.S.C. § 1469- Presumptions 18 U.S.C. § 1470- Transfer of obscene material to minors 18 U.S.C. § 2252B Misleading domain names on the Internet 18 U.S.C. § 2252C Misleading words or digital images on the Internet The U.S. Supreme Court established the test that judges and juries use to determine whether matter is obscene in three major cases: Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 24-25 (1973); Smith v. United States, 431 U.S. 291, 300-02, 309 (1977); and Pope v. Illinois, 481 U.S. 497, 500-01 (1987). The three-pronged Miller test is as follows: 1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, finds that the matter, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests (i.e., an erotic, lascivious, abnormal, unhealthy, degrading, shameful, or morbid interest in nudity, sex, or excretion); 2. Whether the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, finds that the matter depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way (i.e., ultimate sexual acts, normal or perverted, actual or simulated, masturbation, excretory functions, lewd exhibition of the genitals, or sado-masochistic sexual abuse); and 3. Whether a reasonable person finds that the matter, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Any material that satisfies this three-pronged test may be found obscene. Federal law prohibits the possession with intent to sell or distribute obscenity, to send, ship, or receive obscenity, to import obscenity, and to transport obscenity across state boarders for purposes of distribution. Although the law does not criminalize the private possession of obscene matter, the act of receiving such matter could violate the statutes prohibiting the use of the U.S. Mails, common carriers, or interactive computer services for the purpose of transportation (See 18 U.S.C. § 1460; 18 U.S.C. § 1461; 18 U.S.C. § 1462; 18 U.S.C. § 1463). Convicted offenders face fines and imprisonment. It is also illegal to aid or abet in the commission of these crimes, and individuals who commit such acts are also punishable under federal obscenity laws. In addition, federal law prohibits both the production of obscene matter with intent to sell or distribute, and engaging in a business of selling or transferring obscene matter using or affecting means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including the use of interactive computer services. (See 18 U.S.C. § 1465; 18 U.S.C. § 1466). For example, it is illegal to sell and distribute obscene material on the Internet. Convicted offenders face fines and up to 5 years in prison. Moreover, Sections 1464 and 1468 of Title 18, United States Code, specifically prohibit the broadcast or distribution of obscene matter by radio communication or by cable or subscription television respectively. Convicted offenders under these statutes face fines and up to 2 years in prison. Obscenity Involving Minors Federal statutes specifically prohibit obscenity involving minors, and convicted offenders generally face harsher statutory penalties than if the offense involved only adults. Section 1470 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits any individual from knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer obscene matter using the U.S. mail or any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce to a minor under 16 years of age. Convicted offenders face fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years. In addition, Section 1466A of Title 18, United State Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene. This statute offers an alternative 2-pronged test for obscenity with a lower threshold than the Miller test. The matter involving minors can be deemed obscene if it (i) depicts an image that is, or appears to be a minor engaged in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse and (ii) if the image lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. A first time offender convicted under this statute faces fines and at least 5 years to a maximum of 20 years in prison. There are also laws to protect children from obscene or harmful material on the Internet. For one, federal law prohibits the use of misleading domain names, words, or digital images on the Internet with intent to deceive a minor into viewing harmful or obscene material (See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252B, 2252C). It is illegal for an individual to knowingly use interactive computer services to display obscenity in a manner that makes it available to a minor less than 18 years of age (See 47 U.S.C. § 223(d) –Communications Decency Act of 1996, as amended by the PROTECT Act of 2003). It is also illegal to knowingly make a commercial communication via the Internet that includes obscenity and is available to any minor less than 17 years of age (See 47 U.S.C. § 231 –Child Online Protection Act of 1998). The standard of what is harmful to minors may differ from the standard applied to adults. Harmful materials for minors include any communication consisting of nudity, sex or excretion that (i) appeals to the prurient interest of minors, (ii) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect to what is suitable material for minors, (iii) and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors. In addition to facing imprisonment and fines, convicted offenders of federal obscenity laws involving minors may also be required to register as sex offenders. Furthermore, in some circumstances, obscenity violations involving minors may also be subject to prosecution under federal child pornography laws, which yield serve statutory penalties (For more information, see Citizen´s Guide to U.S. Federal Child Pornography Laws).

Extraterritorial jurisdiction is the legal authority of the United States to prosecute criminal conduct that took place outside its borders. Section 2423(c) of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits United States citizens or legal permanent residents from traveling from the United States to a foreign country, and while there, raping or sexually molesting a child or paying a child for sex. Citizens can be punished under this law even if the conduct they engaged in was legal in the country where it occurred. For example, if an individual traveled to a country that had legalized prostitution, and while they were there they paid a child for sex, that individual could still be convicted under this statute. The penalty for this provision is up to 30 years in prison. Section 2423(b) of Title 18, United States Code, is a similar provision. Section 2423(b) makes it a crime for United States citizens or legal permanent residents to travel from the United States to a foreign country with the intent to engage in illegal sexual conduct with a child such as rape, molestation, or prostitution. The difference between Section 2423(b) and Section 2423(c) is that Section 2423(b) statute requires proof that the defendant had formed his criminal intent at the time he began to travel. The penalty for this offense is also up to 30 years in prison. Finally, Section 2423(d) makes it a crime to be what is known informally as being a “child sex tour operator.” This statute makes it an offense to profit by facilitating the travel of U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents, knowing that they are traveling for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex with a minor. The penalty for this offense is up to 30 years in prison. There are also some child pornography laws that apply to conduct overseas. Sections 2251(c) and 2260(a) of Title 18, United States Code both make it a crime for anyone to produce child pornography in foreign countries if they import the child abuse images into the United States, or if they intend to do so. The penalty for a first time offender under these statutes is at least 15 years, up to a maximum of 30 years in prison. Finally, 18 U.S.C. § 1596 grants extraterritorial jurisdiction over 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion). In this instance, this means that federal prosecutors can investigate and prosecute foreign nationals who commit sex trafficking crimes against children outside the United States. Section 1596 also allows the federal government to investigate and prosecute U.S. nationals and residents who commit child sex trafficking crimes in foreign countries (For more information on 18 U.S.C. § 1591, see Citizen’s Guide to U.S. Federal Law on the Prostitution of Children). For all of these statutes, a child is considered to be anyone under the age of 18.

Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor. Undeveloped film, undeveloped videotape, and electronically stored data that can be converted into a visual image of child pornography are also deemed illegal visual depictions under federal law. Notably, the legal definition of sexually explicit conduct does not require that an image depict a child engaging in sexual activity. A picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive. Additionally, the age of consent for sexual activity in a given state is irrelevant; any depiction of a minor under 18 years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct is illegal. Federal law prohibits the production, distribution, reception, and possession of an image of child pornography using or affecting any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce (See 18 U.S.C. § 2251; 18 U.S.C. § 2252; 18 U.S.C. § 2252A). Specifically, Section 2251 makes it illegal to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for purposes of producing visual depictions of that conduct. Any individual who attempts or conspires to commit a child pornography offense is also subject to prosecution under federal law. Federal jurisdiction is implicated if the child pornography offense occurred in interstate or foreign commerce. This includes, for example, using the U.S. Mails or common carriers to transport child pornography across state or international borders. Additionally, federal jurisdiction almost always applies when the Internet is used to commit a child pornography violation. Even if the child pornography image itself did not travel across state or international borders, federal law may be implicated if the materials, such as the computer used to download the image or the CD-ROM used to store the image, originated or previously traveled in interstate or foreign commerce. In addition, Section 2251A of Title 18, United States Code, specifically prohibits any parent, legal guardian or other person in custody or control of a minor under the age of 18, to buy, sell, or transfer custody of that minor for purposes of producing child pornography. Lastly, Section 2260 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits any persons outside of the United States to knowingly produce, receive, transport, ship, or distribute child pornography with intent to import or transmit the visual depiction into the United States. Any violation of federal child pornography law is a serious crime, and convicted offenders face severe statutory penalties. For example, a first time offender convicted of producing child pornography under 18 U.S.C. § 2251, face fines and a statutory minimum of 15 years to 30 years maximum in prison. A first time offender convicted of transporting child pornography in interstate or foreign commerce under 18 U.S.C. § 2252, faces fines and a statutory minimum of 5 years to 20 years maximum in prison. Convicted offenders may face harsher penalties if the offender has prior convictions or if the child pornography offense occurred in aggravated situations defined as (i) the images are violent, sadistic, or masochistic in nature, (ii) the minor was sexually abused, or (iii) the offender has prior convictions for child sexual exploitation. In these circumstances, a convicted offender may face up to life imprisonment. It is important to note that an offender can be prosecuted under state child pornography laws in addition to, or instead of, federal law.

Lawsuit: Father blames Dallas' Timberlawn hospital for sex assault of 13-year-old daughter FILED UNDER INVESTIGATIONS AT APR 18 SHARE Written by sue ambrose investigator reporter S Ambrose, Investigative Reporter Timberlawn psychiatric hospital staff’s negligence and “inhumane character” allowed a 13-year-old girl to be raped there in 2017, according to a lawsuit filed this month in a Dallas County district court. The father brought the suit against the now-defunct Dallas hospital, saying his daughter has suffered mental anguish because of the assault and still needs medical treatment. An attorney representing Timberlawn’s parent company, Universal Health Services, declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing pending litigation. The girl, who was being treated at Timberlawn for depression, said that a 17-year-old male patient sneaked into her room one evening and raped her. After The Dallas Morning News reported that Dallas police were investigating, federal hospital inspectors launched an investigation. They found the hospital had placed the boy and girl in rooms near each other and had falsified paperwork to make it look as if the two were in a public area at the time of the assault. They also found the floor was understaffed that night. State regulators moved to revoke Timberlawn’s license, saying it was too dangerous for patients. But before that could happen, UHS shut down the 100-year-old hospital in early 2018, citing dwindling patient numbers. Dallas police referred the sexual assault case to a grand jury, but no charges have been filed. UHS operates five other psychiatric hospitals in the Dallas area: Hickory Trail, Millwood, Garland Behavioral, Mayhill and University Behavioral Health of Denton.

Many of the patients who died were on ventilators and receiving palliative care. The deaths occurred between 2015 and 2018. • Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien compared Husel's actions to extinguishing a dwindling candle. • "That candle, while there may be just a half an inch of wax left, if I blow that candle out, I'm causing that flame to go out sooner than it would naturally," O'Brien said. • Related Stories • Bill would ban synthetic urine used to skirt drug tests • More states sue opioid maker alleging deceptive marketing • Researchers pose as heroin users to find treatment gaps • Husel, 43, pleaded not guilty after turning himself in earlier in the day.

A lawyer for Dr. William Husel said he didn't intend to kill patients. (June 5) • Media: Associated Press • The Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System has publicly apologized. It issued a statement Wednesday pledging to continue cooperating with authorities and making "meaningful changes" to ensure such events never happen again. • The system found that Husel ordered potentially fatal drug doses for 29 patients, including five who might have received those drugs when there still was a chance to improve their conditions with treatment. The hospital system said six more patients got doses that were excessive but probably did not cause their deaths. • The murder charges were brought only in cases that involved fentanyl doses of at least 500 micrograms. The prosecutor said the investigation remains open and other cases are still under review. • Husel was fired in December and stripped of his medical license after concerns about his orders were brought to the attention of officials at Mount Carmel, where he had worked for five years. • Mount Carmel has said it should have investigated and taken action sooner. It has acknowledged that the doctor was not removed from patient care for four weeks after the concerns were raised, and three patients died during that time. • Police Sgt. Terry McConnell said none of the families who talked with investigators believed that what happened was "mercy treatment." • Amy Pfaff, whose mother was among the patients whose deaths prompted the charges, said she still wonders about his motives. • "Trust me, I sit many hours sitting trying to figure out why would he do this to so many people, and I just don't know," Pfaff said. • More than two dozen wrongful-death lawsuits have been filed against the doctor and the hospital system, including one by Pfaff over the October 2017 death of her mother, Beverlee Schirtzinger. • The hospital system settled some of the cases for hundreds of thousands of dollars. • All employees who had a role in administering medication to the victims have been removed from patient care as a precaution, hospital officials have said. • All told, 48 nurses and pharmacists were reported to their respective professional boards. Thirty of those employees were put on leave, and 18 no longer work there, including some who left years ago, officials said. • Records show no prior disciplinary action against Husel by the Ohio State Medical Board. The board will not disclose whether it received any complaints that did not result in action. • The allegations against Husel recalled another Ohio case involving a former nurse's aide dubbed the Angel of Death. That man, Donald Harvey, confessed in 1987 to killing 37 people, most of them hospital patients, over the span of two decades in Ohio and Kentucky. He was given multiple life sentences and died in 2017 after being attacked by a fellow inmate. • ___ • This story has been updated to correct the spelling of the doctor's name to Husel in one instance, instead of Hussel. •

To president of the united states in Washington DC and Public and police chief I recommend due to cut backs in funding that what police and sheriff and dps and highway patrol and jail staff and other parts of the legal staff do is the following When legal staff and police get hurt in the line of duty the ambulance take the staff to the jail medical center/area instead of a regular hospital or regular emergency room to cut down on cost to tax payers which the legal staff say they care so much to service in their uniform Jails and prisons have area’s in jails which they have medical staff and a doctor and I recommend jails and prisons make a small emergency room and sleeping area for the staff to be taken to (emergency room then the sleeping area for the hurt staff to sleep for a over-night stay so the doctor can keep a eye on the hurt staff for the night to make sure the stitches staff may have gotten while hurt on the job on duty hours Do that instead of taking the legal staff like police to the regular public hospital and emergency room and then this might cut down on the work forces tax’s they have to pay I am sure the jail medical area’s already have wound care and stitches care supplies already (just have the doctor make sure the medical area has enough supplies around for the care of the staff in case they need it) Then when the staff like police get hurt in the line of duty bring them to the jail medical staff and area to get emergency medical care instead of the a regular public hospital Besides police and legal staff always say they want to try to service the work force sense they work hard all day anyway And so that is a way they can service the work force is by doing that idea to cut back on cost to avoid more tax’s and to reduce the tax’s Try the idea and see if it helps and works Signed Katrine Elizabeth sackett32463 whitelady (5’3)(5’21/2) Spring terrace apts 7101 n ih 35 austin tx by burger king Date July 18, 2019

2.7 Electrolyte abnormalities Several psychotropic medications may lead to hyponatremia, including antidepressant and antiepileptic/mood stabilizer drugs. Carbamazepine is a well-established offender. Although the mechanism is unknown, stimulation of the 5-HT2 and 5-HT1c might lead to increased release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and water retention at renal tubules21. Inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake can also lead to increased ADH through α1- adrenergic receptor stimulation21. People with serum sodium concentrations at 125-130 mEq/l would present with gastrointestinal complaints of nausea and vomiting and the neurological symptoms of fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps. Delirium ensues with levels below 125mEq/l22. At concentrations lower than 120 mEq/l, convulsions, respiratory failure, and death are reported21. However, some individuals with chronic hyponatremia might be asymptomatic even at more severely low sodium levels. Laboratory evidence includes lower than normal serum osmolality and increased urine sodium or osmolality21. Hyponatremia can occur just weeks after medication initiation21. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may have a greater potential for causing this side-effect compared to other antidepressant drugs (ranging from 0.5-32%)21,22. Patients older than age 65 carry a sixfold increased risk. Female gender, high medication doses, low baseline sodium levels, being underweight, co-treatment with diuretic agents, and smoking tobacco are other risk factors (nicotine stimulates vasopressin causing enhancement of water reabsorption from renal tubules)22. 2.8 Leucopenia, neutropenia and/or agranulocytosis It is important to note that psychotropic medications have been attributed to leucopenia and in rare cases neutropenia23. This can predispose people to infections, septicemia, delirium, and death. Clozapine is the antipsychotic drug most associated with bone marrow suppression and use requires special registry for patients and their physicians. A complete blood cell count with white cell differentials is indicated weekly following drug initiation in 2.6 Medication causing hepatotoxicity Many psychopharmaceuticals can cause liver damage (see Table-3). Acute hepatic failure is an idiosyncratic reaction to medications and can lead to encephalopathy within weeks of first symptom development. Chronic hepatotoxicity and fibrosis usually occurs with longterm treatment; delirium occurs later in the disease process.

Table 3. Psychiatric Medications and Hepatotoxicity 2.5 Lithium Lithium is a salt frequently used to treat bipolar disorders or as an augmenting agent for those who suffer from depression. It is effective for controlling manic symptoms at blood levels of 0.6 to 1.2 μg/ml and for maintenance therapy at 0.3 to 0.6 μg/dl. Lithium toxicity is common in dehydrated individuals (see Table-2). Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs in 10% of treated patients and causes dehydration, possibly precipitating toxicity and an encephalopathy. For people over 65 years-of-age, with impaired renal function and polypharmacy, the risk for this adversity increases by two-fold14,15. When co-prescribed with diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorthiazide), non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen), and/or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (e.g., captopril), lithium excretion is reduced leading to potential toxicity if dose adjustment is not made15. Toxic symptoms are generally correlated to serum blood lithium levels. Mild cases occur when concentrations are between 1.5 to 2μg/ml, presenting with gastrointestinal upset, mild tremors, and weakness. With moderate toxicity, concentrations range from 2 to 2.5μg/ml and complaints include tinnitus, muscle twitches, dysarthria, and hyperreflexia manifest. At higher blood levels, severe toxicity includes delirium, seizures, coma, and even death; in these cases, blood concentrations are less well correlated to clinical status. Neurotoxicity with permanent sequellae follows high level intoxication15. Thus, significant toxicity mandates hydration and immediate discontinuation of lithium; hemodialysis maybe required.

Causes of Lithium Toxicity www.intechopen.com Miscellanea on Encephalopathies 118 There is controversy about the safety of combing lithium with antipsychotic medications; several sporadic cases of encephalopathy have been reported with such combinations16. This might be explained by lithium enhancing dopamine receptor blockade17. Otherwise, coprescribing leads to a higher concentration of intracellular lithium, in a dose-dependent nature16. One retrospective study documented low encephalopathy rates18. Nevertheless, such combinations remain frequently utilized, effective, and safe. 2.6 Medication causing hepatotoxicity Many psychopharmaceuticals can cause liver damage (see Table-3). Acute hepatic failure is 2.9 Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Electroconvulsive therapy is frequently used to treat patient suffering from depression. Delirium can result from the pre-treatment anesthesia or due to the ECT itself. An ECTinduced delirium occurs in up to 12% of individuals, usually resolving spontaneously within an hour25. Assurance and benzodiazepines are used to treat any associated agitation. Older age, comorbid neurological disorders, and rapid discontinuation of benzodiazepines after long-term treatment during an ECT series increases the incidence of delirium. Since continued seizures leading to status epilepticus should be ruled out, many physicians continue electroencephalographic monitoring in the post-convulsive period to detect such ictus. A higher incidence of confusion might follow co-prescribing lithium or dopaminergic agents during ECT. 3. Psychiatric disorders mimicking encephalopathy 3.1 Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder Schizophrenia occurs in up to 1% of the population and usually presents first in the late teens and early twenties. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-fourth edition-revised (DSM-IV-R) criteria, to fit this diagnosis, the individual has to have at least two major symptoms for at least six months26: delusions which are false fixed beliefs, hallucinations which are misperception of stimuli by the five senses in the absence of stimulation, disorganization of speech, behavior, and/or thought disorder, catatonia or negative symptoms. The negative symptom profile includes apathy, slow movements, ambivalence, and a blunted affect. Catatonia includes motor hyperactivity or
