He was diagnosed with schizophrenia during his adolescence. He was hospitalized for treatment in his teens, but his hallucinations and delusions persisted even after discharge. In his 30s, he became noticeably emotionally unstable, and despite being treated for an adequate period with sufficient doses of several antipsychotics, his symptoms did not improve. This led to repeated hospitalizations triggered by violent behavior toward his parents and siblings within the home. During his fourth hospitalization, clozapine was initiated due to multiple incidents of violence toward nursing staff secondary to hallucinations and delusions. As the dose of clozapine was gradually increased with therapeutic drug monitoring, the patient's hostility, uncooperativeness, and suspiciousness markedly improved, and his aggressive behavior disappeared. He was discharged to a facility on day 194 after starting clozapine and has continued outpatient visits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clozapine was suggested to be effective for aggressive behavior in patients with treatment\u2010resistant schizophrenia and should be actively considered.
