Abstract

CASE BF is a 42 year-old Caucasian male who reported his onset of depression began four years ago after he was involved in a car accident that fractured his hip. He was not treated for depression until he overdosed on approximately 50 aspirin 325 mg tablets and 750 ml of whiskey (seven months following the accident). After being medically cleared from the emergency room and acute inpatient unit, he was transferred to inpatient psychiatry for evaluation of depression. Upon admission to the inpatient psychiatric unit, his labs were found to be within normal limits (WNL) except a slight elevation in gamma-glutamyl transferace (GGT) at 51 U/L, likely from his acute alcohol ingestion. His thyroid panel was also WNL. He denied any other illness or taking any other medications.
