RESUMO
Persistent homicidal ideation (HI), while not common among psychiatric disorders, can occur within multiple diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. There is a growing global and national concern for homicide and homicide-related deaths. In this case report, we discuss refractory homicidal ideation in an 18-year-old male with the diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia and a history of Tourette's syndrome and highlight the interplay of comorbidities and challenges in effective management and treatment.
