This wide range can be accounted for by disparate methods em-ployed in various studies, such as differences in assessment techniques and selection of subjects (32, 36, 62), and by the absence of a reliable marker and well-accepted diagnostic criteria for neuropsychi-atric manifestation of SLE in the central nervous system (CNS)(6, 24). Psychiatric disorders in patients with SLE may be due primarily to activity of SLE in the CNS or may result from complications of SLE, such as infection, uremia, electrolyte abnormalities, or its treatment, such as corticosteroids. Also, psychiatric abnormalities in patients with SLE may be secondary to a primary psychiatric disorder (for example, bipolar disorder) or to psychological stress associated with a chronic and potentially lethal disease (such as adjustment disorders).
