Abstract
- A case study of a 68-year-old male with Parkinsonian type multiple system atrophy (MSA) who achieved remission of psychosis after treatment with modified electroconvulsive therapy (mECT) following unsuccessful antipsychotic treatments. It mentions that MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can be challenging to manage because it is frequently accompanied by other symptoms, including psychosis, postural instability, urinary incontinence, depression, and sleep disturbances.
