Several psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and&nbsp;depression, are known to be associated with psychosis. It is also seen in people who misuse medications and in those who have underlying illnesses such hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, etc. Patients&nbsp;suffering from psychosis frequently exhibit hallucinations, delusions, and disordered speech and behaviour. Antipsychotic drugs are typically used to treat patients with psychosis. Antipsychotics come in two varieties: typical antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics. Typical antipsychotics have a poor safety record and can cause decreased cell counts, increase in body temperature&nbsp;or decrease in body temperature&nbsp;as side effects. Therefore, typical antipsychotics are rarely prescribed for long-term usage by doctors and other medical professionals. In this case study, a 40year old&nbsp;patient who was otherwise healthy has presented with&nbsp;thrombocytopenia and hypothermia due to Risperidone[1].</p> ER -
