Lithium carbonate in prophylaxis of reappearing catatonic stupor: case report.

Y Sugahara1, H Tsukamoto, T Sasaki.   

Abstract

The case of a patient with reappearing stupor, accompanied by auditory hallucinations and persecutory ideas during the periods and not with alternating excitement, is reported. After 24 years of neuroleptics medication with little effect, the lithium carbonate regimen was started, which showed a remarkable prophylactic effect. The implications of lithium carbonate treatment for recurrent psychosis are discussed.
