===== B. Causes of excessive thirst with excessive urination =====

Psychogenic Polydipsia

====== Psychogenic Polydipsia ======

In most cases of polydipsia, people drink water to replace water they have lost due to excessive urination caused by certain organic disorders. Individuals with primary or psychogenic polydipsia (often associated with schizophrenia) have no organic disorder, but they believe or feel they should drink a lot of fluid. This can lead to water intoxication (hyponatremia), which can be life threatening.
