摘要：Very early onset schizophrenia (VEOS) has been rarely reported in children before sixyears [1, 2]. The diagnosis of VEOS is often missed or delayed due to the variability inits clinical presentation. The authors report a case of VEOS in which the symptoms ofpsychosis developed at 5 years of age. We also discuss the varied clinical features,differential diagnosis, diagnostic and treatment processes and follow-up of this particularcase. This report aims to highlight the fact that schizophrenia can occur at such an earlyage, the variability in its clinical presentation and adds to the limited literature on VEOSin the Indian population
