Psychiatric symptoms and treatment course in a female patient with DiGeorge syndrome were described. This patient showed psychotic symptoms, mood symptoms, and intellectual disability. As well as various psychiatric symptoms, treatment response and sensitivity of side effect by antipsychotics were different from typical characteristics in psychiatric disorders.
