Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
The article presents a case report of a 20-year-old woman after an ischemic stroke in the fourteenth year of life in the course of the antiphospholipid syndrome with subsequent damage to the central nervous system and the consequences in the general functioning of the patient. In the patient mood disorders, personality disorders and traits of anorexia nervosa were observed, leading to significant problems in social and family functioning. Once the final diagnosis was established and treatment consistent with reports from the literature was introduced, it resulted in significant improvements of the psychiatric status.
