Neha Sharma
This is a case of Olfactory Reference Syndrome, which is described in a young student, who presented with the depressive symptoms, academic decline and interpersonal problems in the background of a firm, fixed belief about his body emanating a foul odor and consequent social withdrawal, of eight months’ duration.
He was managed with Risperidone and Fluvoxamine, with insight-oriented psychotherapy and social skills training, to which he responded well.
