Psychosis refers to losing contact with reality, during which hallucinations or delusions may occur. A 62-year-old woman reported in the Outpatient Department with symptoms of psychosis for one month. The consultant psychiatrist diagnosed it as a case of Unspecified Nonorganic Psychosis (F29). The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) score was 55 at the time of the initial consultation. Lachesis Muta 30 was selected as the Individualised Homoeopathic Medicine. It helped to taper the conventional medicines, as well as it was possible to withdraw the medication gradually. BPRS score was reduced to 18 within four months. Modified Naranjo criteria were used to assess whether the changes were likely associated with the homoeopathic intervention. Overall, improvement was noticed clinically and in BPRS. In this case, individualised homoeopathic treatment has shown a positive role in the management and treatment of psychosis as an add-on therapy.
