and dementia, as well as the treatment of

delusions of negation
accompanied by depressive symptoms. Pharmacotherapy over a 2-year hospitalization was unsuccessful, and she was subsequently transferred to our university hospital.

The indication for electroconvulsive therapy in patients with dementia is discussed.
