Abstract

Felix-Martin Werner and Rafael Covenas

This case report is about a 63 year old female patient showing an exacerbation of major depression after a
stressful life event. Three different antidepressant drugs were administered. The chronic antidepressant medication of citalopram was replaced by bupropion, which improved the decreased positive effects. Taking this chronic antidepressant medication, the patient succeeded in getting over another stressful life event, an anti-cancer therapy.
