Özet
Hypericum perforatum extracts, popularly known as St. John's wort (known as "sari kantaron" in Turkish) are widely used for the treatment of major depression, especially in German speaking countries. Data on the effectiveness of such extracts for the maintenance treatment of major depression is limited. In this case report, a female patient who was euthymic under escitalopram treatment and experienced a recurrence of depression following a switch to St. John's wort will be described.
