Abstract

Deaf and mute patients comprise the sub group of population in which assessment and diagnosis of psychotic disorder is challenging. Difficulties in communication is a barrier towards it. Moreover, the patients have varying presentation which makes things even more difficult. In the following three cases, we would discuss the problems faced in assessment of deaf mute patients with possible explanations for it. This may help develop adequate skills and tools for better understanding and management in future of deaf mute patients with psychosis.
