Abstract
Lycanthropy is a delusive belief that the affected person or others transform into a wolf or other animals. Lycanthropy has been known for over 2000 years. This paper introduces a 51-year-old married woman who has had symptoms of depressive disorder for the past four years, following forced marriage and has recently been diagnosed with lycanthropic syndrome. The patient was diagnosed with depression along with lycanthropy symptoms (psychotic depression) and was treated with antipsychotics, antidepressants, and individual psychotherapy. Over a 16-weeks follow-up, her lycanthropy was reduced and symptoms of depression improved relatively.
