CASTRILLON MUNOZ, Eduardo e GUTIERREZ ALZATE, Boris. Cotard’s Syndrome: Case Report. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2009, vol.38, n.1, pp.194-202. ISSN 0034-7450.
Introduction: In 1880, the French psychiatrist Jules Cotard described several patients who suffered from a syndrome referred to as délire de négation. This relatively rare condition is characterized by the presence of nihilist delusions in which the person who has it thinks “it is dead or the world does not exist”. Method: This article reports the case of a patient with a history of depressive events following a financial loss who developed symptoms consistent with Cotard’s Syndrome. Conclusion: This case report includes a description of the clinical course of the disorder and a systematic review of the literature.
