A 17-year-old thin-appearing female with a history of major depressive disorder presents with increased fatigue. The patient states that while she normally runs and exercises after each meal until she has burnt off the number of calories she just ate, she has been feeling more tired during these workouts and is having difficulty completing them.

She is concerned because her stress has become so severe she has stopped menstruating recently. What part of the patient’s presentation is a relative contraindication to augmenting her depression treatment with bupropion?
