Bech P, Raabæk Olsen L, Jarlφv N, Hammer M, Schütze T, Breum L. A case of sequential anti‐stress medication in a patient with major depression resistant to amine‐reuptake inhibitors. Acta Psychiatrica Scand 1999: 100 : 76–78. © Munksgaard 1999. One of the predictive factors of treatment‐resistant depression is the syndrome of relative insulin resistance, i.e. adipositas, mild hypertension and a family history of type‐2 diabetes. Such a case is here reported with a good outcome to anti‐stress medication, including ketoconazole and lithium.
