 In 1990, Hoehn-Saric et al. reported five patients receiving fluvoxamine or fluoxetine, who were observed to develop apathy, indifference and loss of initiative. We herein report a case of a late 20s male patient with major depression who developed apathy with escitalopram reversed by decreasing of escitalopram and addition of duloxetine. In overseas, several reports have been seen that SSRI-induced apathy syndrome (SAS) may be a potential adverse effect of SSRI. However, only two reports of SAS due to paroxetine or sertoraline are observed in Japan. Furthermore, there are no reports of SAS caused by escitalopram. Thus, this report suggests that careful treatment and observation are necessary in using SSRI therapy including escitalopram, especially in case of apathy and insufficient curative course.
