Remission of Psychosis in Treatment-resistant Schizophrenia Following a Seizure: A Case Report.

Hena Jawaid1, Sana Younus1, Hanif Mesiya1.   

Abstract

The authors report a case of treatment-resistant schizophrenia in a 22-year-old woman, who, despite multiple trials of antipsychotics, did not respond to treatment. Clozapine treatment was initiated, but the patient's symptoms did not remit until after she had a clozapine-induced seizure. The authors discuss the importance in considering that electroconvulsive therapy may be effective in reducing positive and negative symptoms in patients suffering from treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
