This case report illustrates the sudden onset, brief course and remission of a psychotic illness in a middle-aged Nigerian starting soon after she heard about the terrorist attacks in America. Vulnerability factors including personality traits and other concurrent life events were identified in the patients. Common mental disorder associated with terrorist attacks, disasters and armed robbery, and the need for health workers to be sensitised to these disorders are discussed in light of the ongoing violence in parts of Nigeria. |
