In diagnosis, primary polydipsia is usually categorised as: * Psychogenic (PPD) – caused by underlying psychiatric symptoms, including those caused by psychoses and rarely by affective disorders * Non-psychogenic – another non-psychological cause, including idiopathic (unknown cause) The terms primary polydipsia and psychogenic polydipsia are sometimes incorrectly used interchangeably – to be considered psychogenic, the patient needs to have some other psychiatric symptoms, such as delusions involving fluid intake or other unusual behaviours. Primary polydipsia may have physiological causes, such as autoimmune hepatitis. Since primary polydipsia is a diagnosis of exclusion, the diagnosis may be made for patients who have<unk> ly unexplained excessive thirst, and this is sometimes incorrectly referred to as psychogenic rather than primary polydipsia.
