Abstract
Wilson's disease occurs due to an inborn error of metabolism. Psychiatric symptoms are often the first manifestation of the disease and can obscure the diagnosis. There are five neuropsychiatric symptoms clusters established for Wilson's disease patients: Behavior and/or personality disorders, mood disorders, cognitive deficits, psychotic manifestations, and others. The frequency with which psychiatric manifestations appears in Wilson's disease remains vague. However, whenever they occur, they need to be correctly identified and treated. Though encouraging results have been obtained in controlling psychiatric manifestations of Wilson's with psychotropic medications, some sub-group of patients fail to respond to any therapy. We aim at finding options for controlling psychosis in these patients with electro convulsive therapy (ECT). A patient exhibiting rare neuropsychiatric manifestations of Wilson's and who is not responding to psychotropic medication was considered for ECT. Considerable control over psychiatric manifestations with ECT was observed and later treated with maintenance ECTs for relapse control.
