Abstract

The association between the season and the occurrence of acute transient psychotic disorder (ATPD) has been sparsely studied. We would like to report five patients who presented with acute psychotic symptoms during the summer and discuss other risk factors that could be associated with this seasonal predilection.

Keywords: ATPD; psychosis; summer.
