Abstract
To the Editor
Delusion of pregnancy (DOP) is a fixed false belief that one is pregnant, despite evidence to the contrary. Recently, there have been several reports linking DOP with antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinaemia (Ahuja et al., 2008; Ali et al., 2003).
Ms S is a 36-year-old woman with a 6-year history of schizoaffective disorder. Her symptoms have been stable on paliperidone depot 75 mg monthly for the last 2 years.
