For patients exhibiting treatment-refractory OCD and concurrent depressive disorder(s), there is growing clinical interest in the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine as a rapid-acting intervention. This case report describes a 27-year-old female patient with severe, treatment-refractory OCD and comorbid depressive symptoms, detailing her response to a single intramuscular (IM) ketamine administration.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>The patient's primary compulsion was that of handwashing, which she would partake in for ~6 h per handwashing session at the time of the first ketamine administration. This occurred daily over a 3.5-month period, wherein a single day would consist of up to 18 total hours of handwashing. These extreme compulsions resulted in severe in-home isolation, precluding in-person psychotherapy and employment. Despite ongoing management by an independent telepsychiatrist, the patient reported no symptom relief from her prescribed regimen of fluoxetine (80 mg) and alprazolam (1 mg, four times daily)-a pharmacotherapeutic approach that may have been clinically suboptimal given the potential for high-dose benzodiazepines to exacerbate obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Given the severity of her condition, she subsequently pursued treatment at an unaffiliated outpatient ketamine clinic.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Following a single IM ketamine administration, the patient experienced an acute, ~97% reduction in handwashing duration (from 6 h sessions to 5-10 min sessions) sustained over a 10-day period.

It is most commonly observed in patients receiving long-term antipsychotic treatment, such as individuals with schizophrenia. Lurasidone is a relatively novel antipsychotic that has been reported to induce tardive syndromes in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and has also been used as an augmentation strategy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. In this report, we present an intriguing case in which TD improved following the addition of lurasidone to the patient's existing treatment, accompanied by a reduction in negative psychotic symptoms. The patient's Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) score decreased from 20 to 8-9 after the initiation and subsequent dose increase of lurasidone. Additionally, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score decreased from 171 to 148, with particularly notable improvement in the negative symptom subscale. The beneficial effect of lurasidone on TD is hypothesized to be related to various receptor interactions of the current treatment, as well as 5-HT<sub>2</sub>A antagonism and preferential modulation of dopamine turnover in the prefrontal cortex rather than the striatum, as also observed with clozapine.

This case describes a patient who overdosed on both ethylene glycol and rat poison, leading to a complex recovery. A 57-year-old female patient with a past psychiatric history of depression and alcohol use disorder presented to the emergency department unresponsive after a suicide attempt. The patient was found to have severe high-anion-gap metabolic acidosis, was intubated, and started on a bicarbonate drip and emergent hemodialysis. There was suspicion of toxic ingestion of ethylene glycol, given that lactate on arterial blood gas was significantly higher than serum lactic acid, so intravenous fomepizole was started. The patient's family subsequently found a suicide note in the patient's bedroom alongside a bottle of ethylene glycol and rat poison. Brain imaging revealed multiple lacunar infarcts in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres and diffusion abnormality in the hippocampi. Following medical stabilization and continued cognitive improvement over the course of hospitalization, the patient was discharged and referred to a partial hospitalization program for further psychiatric treatment. Reflecting on the patient's unique hospital course, the overdose on both ethylene glycol and rat poison likely resulted in a physiological state similar to typical ethanol poisoning, with both acute and long-term sequelae. Per standard treatment of care, fomepizole and a bicarbonate drip were started for treatment of both toxicities. From a psychiatric standpoint, the patient's ongoing medical complications requiring hemodialysis resulted in difficulties with a direct discharge to an inpatient psychiatric facility following medical clearance; however, she was appropriate for a partial hospitalization level of care.

The primary descriptions of Cotard's delusion were associated with severe depressive illness; however, Cotard's delusion may also present in individuals with schizophrenia. Because Cotard's delusion often appears as part of an array of psychotic symptoms, it can be misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed in hospitals. As such, many reported cases of Cotard's delusion have been treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), after failing to respond to pharmacologic treatments. However, there are some reported cases of Cotard's delusion that have achieved remission using medication. We describe the case of a 40-year-old male with a several-year history of schizophrenia who developed an acute psychotic episode characterized by nihilistic delusions consistent with Cotard-like symptoms. The individual believed that he was dead, that he did not exist, and that his throat had been cut. During this episode, the individual expressed somatic delusional thoughts in addition to the previously mentioned nihilistic delusional thoughts. Upon the onset of his psychotic episode, the individual demonstrated a unique euphoric mood, which seemed to be related to his beliefs regarding being dead. The patient was treated with oral risperidone, followed by long-acting injectable (LAI) paliperidone palmitate, resulting in the gradual resolution of symptoms during a short hospitalization. This case highlights the limited number of documented cases of Cotard's delusion in patients with schizophrenia and the potential role of LAI antipsychotic agents as a maintenance strategy for patients with schizophrenia and significant compliance issues who develop Cotard delusions.</p>","PeriodicalId":9631,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Psychiatry","volume":"2026 ","pages":"5079901"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13402895/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148599311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
