Assessment:

At her annual medical checkup appointment,

back to sleep even though she still feels tired.

She finds little joy in her life but cannot pinpoint any particular concern. Although she denies suicidal feelings, she does not feel that there is meaning to her life: “My husband and kids would go on fine if I died and probably wouldn’t miss me that much.” The primary care provider asks Angela to fill out a Beck’s Depression Scale, which indicated she has moderate depression.

1. What medication would you first prescribe to this patient? 2. She comes back in 2 weeks and states she has not noticed and change in her mood since starting on the medication. What would be your response? 3. What are the possible problems with the medication you prescribed? 4. How long should you continue the treatment regimen?
