Yang WS, et al. - In this retrospective chart review conducted from 2000 to 2016, researchers studied psychiatric diagnoses among patients with intentional methanol intoxication (IMI), and identified distinct characteristics of patients with IMI vs those with unintentional MI (UMI). Study participants included patients with methanol intoxication (MI) treated at Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taiwan. The IMI patient group had more females, individuals who consumed less alcohol, and fewer smokers, but a greater number of individuals with past psychiatric disease and attempted suicide vs the UMI patient group. Investigators found that pesticides were the most common source used for suicide, followed by industrial methanol. According to findings, there is a predominance of women and a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in patients with IMI, namely depression and adjustment disorder. Alcohol consumption in the UMI group was also prevalent but not adequately treated.
