This is a case report about a 13-year-old girl who presented with depression, severely reduced daily functioning, and eventually nihilistic delusions about being dead. The condition was interpreted as a presentation of Cotard syndrome as part of early-onset schizophrenia. Treatment with an antidepressant and multiple antipsychotic medications was not effective. The patient was then treated with ECT, resulting in subjective and measurable positive effects.
