Karen Z., a 35-year-old married woman, mother of two children, was admitted to a private inpatient psychiatric unit after her second suicide attempt. Although she has been taking antidepressant medication, her depressed moods have persisted. Two months earlier, her psychiatrist prescribed mitriptyline, which she reported did not help her mood and was extremely sedating.

Ms Z. has a history of mental health contacts since she was 18 years of age, when she first sought help for her mood swings. At that time she was treated with antidepressants. Her depression became more sever three years ago, when she made her first suicide attempt. At that time, she underwent electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) after her medication failed to provide relief for her depression. She was able to return to work after her treatment.

Ms Z. completed high school and a two-year associate’s degree program at a community college. She has been employed in office management for a large insurance firm. Her husband, who is employed by the same company, is very supportive of her and assumes most of the home and family responsibilities during her depression.
