First Online:
Abstract
Psychiatric disturbances represent an important diagnostic and therapeutic issue in Wilson disease (WD). They represent a significant part of the clinical presentation of WD and can present at any point in the course of the illness. In this chapter, we are going to discuss relevant aspects of the clinical evaluation of psychiatric symptoms in WD, prevalence of psychiatric symptoms, significance of psychiatric symptoms, and treatment considerations.
