    • It often presents suddenly, sometimes without prior psychiatric history, and is more common in women.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented: a 33-year-old female with paranoid schizophrenia and a 43-year-old female with acute psychotic depression.
    • Both patients exhibited extreme delusions, denying their own existence and the reality of the external world.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome's manifestation varied, occurring within different primary psychiatric diagnoses.
    • Despite the severity of symptoms, both cases demonstrated a positive response to treatment.

    Implications:

    • Effective management of Cotard's Syndrome is contingent upon addressing the underlying psychiatric disorder.
