| Abstract: | We report a case of Cotard’s Syndrome in 65-year-old patient who manifested depression, schizophrenia, and psycho-organic syndrome, and held a delusional belief of self being dead. The patient was initially treated with anti-depressants like Escitalopram, Sertraline along with anti-anxiety medications like Clonazepam, Lorazepam. She was added with Venlafaxine and Clonazepam which resolved in a significant remission. Our present report is very important due to the rarity of this syndrome and lack of clinical history. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment will increase better remedial outcome in this type of cases. |
