Does it matter which came first, the depression or the heart disease?

How does relapse prevention for depression in patients with coronary heart disease differ from relapse prevention in those with depression alone? That question and more answered.

In May 1997, a young Rwandan girl came to a clinic in Kigali reporting nausea and the feeling of insects crawling on her face. She complained of the strong smell of feces and grew increasingly agitated and fearful, describing vivid images of people trying to kill her at that moment. For months she had vomited at the sight of avocados, and for three years she had been unable to tolerate the sight of rice.
