title: Clozapine in the treatment of psychotic refractory depression.
abstract: A 40-year-old woman suffering from major depression with psychotic features was unresponsive to conventional therapy. After the administration of a wide range of drug treatments and ECT, she received clozapine. Depressive symptoms improved and psychotic features disappeared. It is suggested that clozapine could be efficient in psychotic refractory depression.
