Deciphering the Scream of Silence: Diagnostic Dilemma of Psychosis in Deaf Mute Patients- A Case Series
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.

How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
