Abstract
Mrs. P was an 18-year-old female adolescent who met the DSM-V criteria for an episode of major depression without psychotic symptoms. The main complaints were depressed mood, loss of interest, irritability, decreased concentration, loss of appetite and weight. She was treated with sertraline 50mg per day and after 2 weeks she developed psychotic symptoms. The patient appeared to have no known predisposition to psychosis. After discontinuation of sertraline, psychotic symptoms resolved. The emergence of psychotic symptoms, in patients with non-psychotic mood disorders can have future implications for their prognosis.
