His symptoms began from 6 month earlier as mood instability (prolonged spontaneous crying). He was also suffering from occasionally tremor and micrographia. Initial work ups were normal and with diagnosis of depression and psychiatric problems he was undergone treatment of fluoxetine and risperidone. Finally, concluded that Wilsons disease should be considered in the diagnosis of all children with psychiatric and musculoskeletal symptoms.
