Mr B.S., (Patient Identification Number: 12905) was brought to the clinic for the treatment of depression and hypertension. He was suffering from depression since the last five to six year, but his complaints had aggravated over the last two to three years. All his complaints started due to severe anxiety. Both parents developed myocardial infarcts ( heart attack) in an interval of few days. So he was in severe stress at that time. His father was in hospital for around four to five months. The treatment was very expensive, and later on his father developed one sided paralysis. Patient was hardly 25 at that age, he had never dealt with such crisis till then and it led to severe anxiety and worry. He developed high blood pressure as a response to stress. He was on tablet Divon 80 mg and tablet Stamlo 5 mg, both once a day. On one side he faced emotional stress of father’s illness and on the other he had to meet the challenge of paying off the cost of treatment. Being the eldest son, the responsibility was on his shoulders. He plunged into work head on, and established a very sound business. All his thoughts were for earning money to repay the loan taken for father’s treatment. After fulfilling the financial responsibility, he faced challenges on the home front. He had very strained relationship with his wife. His wife did not get along with his parents; she would spill out her anger on him. Both would get angry and quarrel with each other. His wife was of a strong nature and she would not bow down. She would also oppose patient for the sake of opposition Patient felt that she is narrow-minded, there is so much hatred that now, he did not even feel like talking with her.
