Abstract

This report describes the investigation of a spontaneous grand mal seizure in a 55-year old woman, being treated with drugs and ECT for depression. The spontaneous seizure was due to hyponatremia caused by self-induced water intoxication, although psychotropic medication may have contributed by lowering the seizure threshold. The diagnosis of hyponatremia is discussed.
