Abstract:
The interferon has been used for fifteen years as a viral and carcinomatous pathology treatment, however it has some spychiatric secondary effects. In this paper we present a psychotic reaction in a patient without any psychiatric history. A depression with specific characteristics was also detected. It appears just after injection and goes away quickly forming an interesting "on-off" depression model.
