Abstract
Objective: To present a case of new onset Aripiprazole induced compulsive eating in an adolescent male. Method: We describe a case history of an adolescent male treated with Aripiprazole who developed compulsive eating behavior. Result: The compulsive eating behavior stopped once the Aripiprazole was discontinued. Conclusion: We argue that the compulsive eating behavior in the adolescent male was induced by Aripiprazole and the effect of Aripiprazole on eating behavior may be due to the effect of Aripiprazole on serotonin receptors.
