Adipsia is a condition that can affect both humans and other animals and involves an absence of thirst. Its underlying causes vary but have included anomalies involving the hypothalamus pituitary and corpus collosum. Although Diabetes insipidus usually involves polydipsia it can also rarely occur not just in the absence of polydipsia but in the presence of such diminished thirst as to fit hypodipsia or adipsia.
