ABSTRACT
This study focused in the treatment of two major Prader-Willi symptoms: hyperphagia and self-injurious behavior (SIB). Four patients participated in a four-year study with monthly follow-ups. Patients lived in a behaviorally structured environment, and were treated with selective serotonin reuptake blockers and phenothiazines. Psychopharmacological intervention improved SIB symptoms, but was ineffective to control appetite satiation.
