Abstract
Olfactory reference syndrome is a rare condition often missed as the patient presents to general physicians and get into a cycle of medical treatment and doctor shopping with unsatisfactory results. Often confused with hypochondriasis or delusional disorder, they invariably end with secondary depression with high suicide risk. The management is difficult with no proven single drug of choice and non cooperation from patients for a psychiatric assessment and management. This case report is interesting and unique with diagnostic dilemma and management difficulties. Keywords: ORS, delusion, monosymptomatic hypochondriasis, depression.
