    Abstract We present a case of a 24-year-old woman who changed her name 3 years after the diagnosis of schizophrenia. She had recurrent thoughts of changing her name for over a year and described her feelings as terrible as if captured in a dark room. She also had obsessional thoughts regarding God talking to her, body image and size. Low self-esteem was a constant feature. The psychopathology of her name changing seemed to be meshed between normal desire, obsessional fixation, overvalued ideas of its benefit, and psychotic thought processes.

    Abstract Objective: To look for the psychiatric morbidity and associated socio-demographic factors among patients who tested positive and isolated for COVID-19. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Malir Pakistan, from Mar to May 2020. Methodology: All patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and were admitted to the COVID-19 Ward without complications were included in the study. General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) was administered to look for the presence of psychiatric morbidity. Results: Out of 61 patients included in the study, 45(73.7%) showed the presence of psychiatric morbidity, while 16(26.3%) did not show psychiatric morbidity when screened with GHQ-12. 43(70.4%) were male, while 18(29.6%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 35.21±2.355 years. The advanced age and female gender have a statistically significant relationship (pvalue<0.05) with the presence of psychiatric morbidity among patients of COVID-19. Conclusion: Many patients had psychiatric morbidity after being tested positive for COVID -19 and were isolated in the health facility. Female patients and patients aged more than 40 years were found to be more at risk of developing psychiatric morbidity among the patients admitted to COVID -19 ward.

    Abstract Schizophrenia and epilepsy may exist together, but it is very rare to have a resistant form of both illnesses in one patient. We present a case report of a 49-year-old woman who was managed at our psychiatric facility suffering from treatment-resistant schizophrenia and epilepsy. She presented with suspiciousness, fearfulness and with a belief that people in the hostel wanted to harm her and were putting hair on her bed. She was also having recurrent seizures weekly due to her refractory epilepsy secondary to mesial temporal sclerosis. She was non-compliant with medication and refused surgical management of mesial temporal sclerosis. Whilst in the hospital was on five antiepileptic drugs prescribed by the neurology team and these control the seizures. Olanzapine and paliperidone depot was used for schizophrenia which had a partial response. Clozapine was not considered in view of her severe uncontrolled epilepsy. Concerns were raised regarding her capacity to decide about treatment options. The possibility of an organic cause for both schizophrenia and epilepsy were considered.
