Abstract

Metabolic alkalosis as an additional etiology for organic psychosis is presented and covered, with theoretical and clinical considerations, including treatment. Illustrative case histories are cited and certain parameters of acid-base equilibrium are described as favorable to the normal awake state, while substantial deviation towards metabolic alkalosis is seen as conducive to psychotic aberration.
