My recollection is that the DT's are accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations whereas true psychoses have primarily auditory hallucinations. This is because mania and scizophrenia are specifically mood and thought disorders and therefore come from specialized parts of the brain. ETOH and its withdrawal affects the brain more globally.

Interesting case.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
