We present a case of a 22-year-old male with stress-induced psychotic depression triggered by academic failures. Initially, he was presented with depressive illness but later developed psychotic depression. He was started on antidepressants and antipsychotic that led to significant improvement in his symptoms. This highlights the impact of academic failures on mental health and the substantial role in early recognition, treatment, and involvement of secondary care.
