This report is the first to describe the use of milnacipran and olanzapine in combination in the treatment of delusional depression. The patient was a 55-year-old woman, and the combination treatment brought her marked amelioration of delusional depression without significant side effects. This suggests that the combination therapy of milnacipran and olanzapine is efficacious and safe in the treatment of delusional depression.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
