Doppelganger Theme Occurring after Psychotherapeutic Mourning Treated with Lai-Aripiprazole - Abstract
S.D. had a psychotic disruption after a prolonged period of apparent wellness. This disruption occurred after death of her psychotherapist. She presented bizarre delusion involving her body and her parents and she was mostly anxious. Her delusions and hallucinations were characterized by the presence of an evil twin. We discuss psychopathological aspects of this case: Capgras syndrome and Schnider’s first rank symptoms such as echoing voices saying opposite contents. We successfully treated her with LAI- aripiprazole suggesting the possibility to treat psychotic symptoms in schizoaffective or bipolar diathesis.
