Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Bipolar affective disorder type I imparts significant morbidity and disease burden in the population. It is characterized by occurrence of one or more manic episodes which may be preceded or followed by a depressive or hypomanic phase. About half of these manic episodes are characterized by the presence of psychotic features. The condition is further complicated when the patient has multiple comorbid conditions. We report here the case of a Caucasian woman, aged 66 years, previously diagnosed with Bipolar disorder who developed treatment refractory mania with psychotic feature after being on the immunosuppressive agent, tacrolimus, after kidney transplantation.
