Abstract

Polydipsia, the excessive intake of fluids, presents a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that spans across various disciplines including medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. This abstract aims to provide reflections on the phenomenon of polydipsia by exploring its etiology, manifestations, and implications. Polydipsia often occurs as a symptom of underlying medical conditions such as diabetes insipidus, psychogenic polydipsia, or primary polydipsia. Understanding the physiological mechanisms behind polydipsia involves examining the intricate balance of thirst regulation, fluid balance, and hormonal influences on water intake. Moreover, polydipsia intersects with psychological factors, as it can manifest as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or psychiatric disorders. The interplay between psychological factors and physiological processes in polydipsia underscores the importance of a holistic approach to its assessment and management.
