ABSTRACT

The antidepressant mirtazapine enhances both noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission by blocking α2-adrenergic presynaptic auto- and heteroreceptors, respectively. We here report on three patients with mood disorders with psychotic features (two cases with depressive and one with bipolar disorder). Treatment with mirtazapine significantly improved not only their depression, but also their delusions. Depressive symptoms were only partially responsive and delusions unresponsive in all three patients to previous antidepressive and/or antipsychotic treatment, and only mirtazapine induced persistent improvement. These clinical cases suggest that mirtazapine can be a valid alternative for patients with depression with psychotic features and partial treatment-resistance.
