Here we report a case of a 63-year-old male diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder and current episode of severe depression with psychotic symptoms, developed hyponatremia soon after addition of olanzapine and increasing the dose of escitalopram. A possible causality association was established with olanzapine, and the possible etiological reasons of this clinically significant risk were discussed.
