Primary polydipsia can be categorized into two types. They are psychogenic polydipsia and dipsogenic polydipsia. Psychogenic polydipsia is a condition seen usually in patients with psychiatric diseases. Dipsogenic polydipsia is seen in patients with hypothalamic conditions and in otherwise healthy individuals who are drinking excessive amounts of fluids in today’s context of a healthier lifestyle. Excessive water intake could lead to symptomatic hyponatremia, being the most important clinical manifestation of this condition. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of primary polydipsia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and improving care for patients with this condition.
