✦ Synopsis

A case of dissocial personality disorder in a 71-year-old woman presented with dangerous and apparently suicidal behaviour. Such cases are rare and potentially difficult to distinguish from treatment-resistant depression or organic cerebral conditions. In view of this, investment in prolonged inpatient assessment and an adequate trial of treatment for depression is justified. The prognosis for beneficial change is not good and eventual management may involve little more than providing an environment in which behaviours can be safely contained.

KEY woms-Personality disorder, treatment-resistant depression.
