Abstract

Two patients each developed a single, fixed somatic delusion complicating their existing bipolar disorder. Both failed to respond to a range of antidepressant and antipsychotic medications. They each showed a partial response to clozapine and to electroconvulsive therapy, with resolution of mood symptoms and diminution of their ongoing somatic preoccupation. A review of case reports suggests a possible relationship between somatic delusions and affective disorders.
