666.65.13 Lonicera xylosteum, CaseCase by Markus Kuntosch.
Woman, 57, depression.
She was very depressed; her face was bloated and her hands and knees were aching and swollen. She had no energy left and she could hardly do her work in an employment office. 10 years ago her second husband betrayed her with another woman and left her. She still is in love with him and always thinks he will return to her. She always swallowed her anger and became sick; much energy was sucked away just on seeing him. She had to raise their son and her two daughters from her first, alcoholic husband alone.
She has dark brown hair, is overweight, looks a bit Italian and is always dramatic in the description of her symptoms.
