Abstract:
Secondary erotomania has mainly been associated with functional psychosis (especially schizophrenia) and bipolar disorder. Traditionally, erotomania has been considered chronic and refractory to treatment, although cases of secondary erotomania with response to benzodiazepines, lithium, anticonvulsivants, antipsychotic drugs and electroconvulsive therapy have been described. In this paper, we present a clinical case of secondary erotomania related to paranoid schizophrenia with good response to electroconvulsive therapy and neuroleptics.
