Incest is a neglected and hidden public health problem. This case is about a patient who was victim of sexual abuse, suffered from schizophrenia and abused his biological daughter. He was physically and sexually abused by seniors and classmates, developed paranoid delusion and auditory hallucination. During the course of the illness, he was hospitalized several times as a case of schizophrenia and sexual dysfunction was his main concern. The patient’s illness followed a waxing and waning course. He took medication on on-and-off basis. He abused his biological daughter sexually at the later stage of the illness. Ultimately, the patient attempted suicide after an indecent sexual act with another relative and he was admitted to the hospital. He was treated with risperidone that was titrated to 10 mg per day. After continuing the medication for 2 years he regained a functioning life and remained stable with medication. This case shows the importance of exploring the sexual behavior of the patients and sharing the experience may help in the treatment of schizophrenia patients with incest.

A 39-year-old male, who attempted suicide by hanging, developed chronic myoclonus with intact cognitive function. Chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus is a rare syndrome that may develop after a respiratory arrest and it presents as late onset and persistent purposeful myoclonus with preserved or slightly impaired cognitive function. Increasing critical care nurses’ awareness of chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus will lead to earlier diagnosis of this rare syndrome.

Suicidal attempt by hanging is a growing problem during adolescence. Globally, 8.5 % of all deaths among young people is accounted for by suicide. It is preventable, provided the risk factors and pre-suicidal behavior are identified for averting such a tragic happening. Pediatricians have crucial role to play in this.
