Klazomania Refractory to Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Rare Case Report.

Abstract

Klazomania is a rare phenomenon characterized by compulsive, uncontrollable shouting or yelling without an emotional trigger or reason. It has been reported to be associated with various psychiatric and neurological conditions. No specific treatment has been recommended as the etiology is not known. Trials of antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antiepileptic drugs have been used. Hereby, we report a case of Klazomania in a patient with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder who initially responded to Electroconvulsive Therapy but later on became refractory to it.
