Clinical Psychiatry and Mental Health

Haemorrhagic thalamic stroke is a condition rarely found among all stroke patients. Thalamic stroke can manifest as psychotic symptoms, particularly visual hallucination and rarely as auditory hallucination, which can be misunderstood as functional psychosis. Post-stroke movement disorder is also uncommon after the incidence of stroke. When it does occur, it can also be mistaken as adverse reaction of antipsychotic in patients who are given antipsychotic medication.
