Abstract

This case is about a 20-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis complex and psychosis admitted to the psychiatry clinic of UMHAT Aleksandrovska and treated with zuclopenthixol. She experienced paranoid delusions and verbal and physical aggression towards her mother. Because of side effects, the treatment with risperidone was changed to zuclopenthixol. We evaluated her condition with BPRS24. The score of BPRS24 in admission to the hospital was 97 points. At discharge, the score of BPRS24 was 54 points. After a month, the BPRS24 score was reduced to 39 points; two months later, it was 37.
