Abstract

A large body of literature indicates that atypical antipsychotics are being more widely used among child and adolescent age groups. Along with the wider use, manic and hypomanic attacks due to these medications have been described during mental health treatment. There are only two adolescent cases reported regarding manic and hypomanic shfts due to amisulpride and olanzapine treatment. In this case report, we aimed to share our clinical experience about an adolescent case that had a manic shft due to olanzapine treatment whose symptoms recovered after the termination of the drug.

Keywords: atypical antipsychotics, manic shift, adolescent
