SummaryA 56-year-old patient was admitted to a local orthopedic surgery and traumatology department after self-mutilation of her upper-left limb in the form of left wrist exarticulation and broad injuries to the left forearm. The patient was later transferred to the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy. She was diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder and a severe episode with psychotic symptoms. Electroconvulsive therapy was applied. Twelve procedures were performed with good result. Psychopharmacology was continued. Patient's medical history revealed a significant reduction in antipsychotics. Limited communication with the patient and unfamiliarity with individual characteristics of her psychotic relapse at her last psychiatric consultation were the reasons why psychotic symptoms had not been recognized. Conclusions:A thorough diagnosis should always be carried out, based not only on complaints reported by the patient and observed by their environment, but also on the clinical picture of patient-specific psychosis. Failure to recognize psychotic disorders can have serious consequences for the patient, including auto-amputation.self-harming, self-mutilation, auto-amputation, severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms, electroconvulsive therapy
