Discussion: The results of this study may suggest that saffron is a safe alternative medication for improving depressive symptoms of postpartum depression.

Electroconvulsive Therapy Induces Transient Sensitivity for a Serotonin Syndrome: A Case Report
We report a case of a patient who started developing serotonin syndrome after a cumulative dose of only 900 mg lithium carbonate given in temporal association with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The patient tolerated the serotonergic combination of escitalopram and lithium well a few weeks after ECT.
Discussion: Generally, hypersensitivity to psychotropic medications during a course of ECT is rare and hypothetically attributed to a possible and reversible alteration of the blood brain barrier. Consecutively, drugs with assumed central nervous side effects should be started at low dosages and slow titration within the f...
