title: Delusion of pregnancy associated with antipsychotic induced metabolic syndrome.
abstract: Metabolic syndrome is currently the research topic of several studies. Although physical manifestations of metabolic syndrome have been described, the psychological and psychiatric impact of metabolic syndrome has not been studied to date. We report the first case of antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome which was associated with development of delusions of pregnancy in a post-menopausal woman.
