Intimate partner violence is widespread in the United States and causes serious physical and psychological damage to the victims. Although much of partner violence is reciprocal, women suffer far more damage from victimization than men. Alcohol is implicated in violent relationships, both as a chronic risk factor of and an immediate threat during violent episodes. Little is known about the daily interactional processes between partners, the immediate role of alcohol use in those processes, or the context within which violence and drinking occurs.

Depression is a major public health problem for which the majority of patients are not effectively treated. This problem is exacerbated further in children and adolescents for whom only two antidepressant drugs are currently approved. Both belong to the selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressant, and act by blocking high-affinity uptake of 5-HT from extracellular fluid via the serotonin transporter(SERT).
