Sažetak

The use of antipsychotics in treatment of children and adolescents requires good knowledge of psychopathology, psychofarmacotherapy, developmental processes and family relations.
It is necessary to have parental consent for the use of a medication in this age, with previous explanation of therapeutic goals,
limitations and possible side effects of antipsychotics. The number of antipsychotics registered for use in children and adolescents is
quite limited. The combination of clinical experience of those working with psychotic adolescents and a good collaboration with
parents, creates a therapeutic space where good results in treatment can be achieved. Side effects, though rarely, can bring in
question the course of treatment and disorder follow up.
In this work we will present a 14-year old girl adolescent with psychotic symptoms, in which case the course of treatment and
discontinuance of therapy was caused by a side effect - an oculogyric crisis.
