Case 1: Introduction

Marian Marian is a 63-year-old teacher who was referred to your office by her primary care physician for evaluation and management of depression and anxiety. She mentions that she started taking aripiprazole 15 mg daily and paroxetine 20 mg daily 2 months ago as prescribed by her primary care physician for treatment of depression. Her depressive symptoms have since improved, and she would like to continue both medications. However, at a follow-up visit a few weeks later, you notice an obvious rhythmic tremor of her hands at rest, which is greater on the right side. She is right-handed and complains that the tremor interferes with her writing on the blackboard and marking exams at school, and she worries it is a sign of “getting old.”
