Electroconvulsive therapy as a contributor to the production of delusional misidentification

GG Hay

Evidence for an organic component in patients with delusional misidentification syndromes is reviewed and three described who developed the Capgras symptom after a course of ECT which produced a mild organic psychosyndrome. The delusion was a complicating factor during treatment, but remitted in all cases as the organic brain syndrome cleared and the underlying condition improved.
