Sanatorium or Asylum?
The rules are:
• Absolute and utter rest of mind and body—no bath, no movement except to toilet once a day, no sitting up except propped by pillows and semi-reclining. Lead the life of a log, in fact.
• Eat nourishing food and have plenty of fresh air.
Then my own rules to myself:
• Never give way to self pity
• Interest myself as much as possible in outside things
• Try and improve my mind by reading and thinking

Sanatorium or Asylum?
I awoke the next morning in a horrific sweat, only to find that my experiences were not a dream, but reality. I was actually in the uncomfortable bed in an off-white room. The room was very dull in appearance with only the bed and a small table next to it. A window to my left had a view of a vast field, empty with the morning dew still covering the grass. An attendant came through the door assuring me that everything would be all right and that it was time for breakfast. Breakfast was a very foul tasting slop accompanied by cold coffee and stale bread. After breakfast I learned that it was my day to go out into the yard. The yard was a 10-acre field with gardens, flowerbeds, and a grove of oak trees. The attendant informed me that I was not to go beyond the limits of the hospital.

• No reports of serotonin syndrome
• Case-control study increased discontinuation in Isoniazid/SSRI group vs SSRI or Isoniazid alone
• Insufficient evidence to avoid prescribing
• P450 interactions
• Key drug interaction: carbamazepine
• Carbamazepine toxicity can result
![Page 32: Tuberculosis and Mental Health - IPHA · •Stigma compounded with MI, TB, HIV, etc. ©2014 MFMER | slide-38 Brief History of Tuberculosis and Mental Illness ... •Describe historical](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fadd4ed3ba9405d8d2f069f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Treatment of TB in Patients with Mental Illness
• Other challenges
• Perceived adverse events
• Legal issues
• Involuntary treatment for TB possible in some areas
• Involuntary treatment for MI may not be possible in same areas
• Substance use disorders (nicotine, alcohol, IVDA)

So the Wheel Turns…
• MAOIs now rarely used for depression
• Increased drug resistance for TB, but still first-line
• Phenothiazines occasionally used for psychosis
• Now being studied for MDR-TB
• Potentiate efficacy of other antimicrobials
• What new medications or treatment strategies will TB and mental illness share in common?
