This causes heavy distress and depression, even leading to suicides. The ORS is classifised under different categories.In this paper, we report a patient with ORS. She has a preoccupation of foul body odor emanating from her anal region which we treated with escitalopram.

“…Olfactory Reference Syndrome is a psychiatric condition in which there occurs a somatization of some distress resulting in a belief on the part of the patient that an offensive odour emanates from some body part usually the mouth. This condition described in the psychiatric literature for over 100 years, interferes with normal social interactions because of fear of offending 6,7 others with breath malodour.

(5) patients with age range of 18-30 years and a mean age of 24 years (SD = 4.47) were included in the study. These individuals manifested multiple symptoms associated with distress and they experienced personal discomfort and social embarrassment leading to emotional distress. The study highlights the importance of assessing personality characteristics and psychological dysfunction of patients presenting with delusional halitosis. A multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of delusional halitosis cannot, therefore be overemphasized.
