Problem statement
Treatment plan
A.C. is a 17 y.o female who presents for fatigue for the past 2 months. Subjective evaluation is significant for reports of unintentional weight gain, lack of interest in previously pleasurable activities, social isolation from family and friends, low self-
esteem, and daily crying spells. Objective findings are significant for weight gain of 26 pounds since last visit, abdominal striae, and acanthosis nigricans. Patient denies active suicidal ideation, endorses passive death wish. No significant past medical history or family history. Medications:
Fluoxetine 10 mg PO once daily in the morning. Referral: Provider will refer the patient to an in-network psychologist for talk therapy. Patient will also be referred to a nutritionist for counseling on a healthy diet. Client education: Anti-depressants can take 6-8 weeks to fully take effect. Thoughts of suicide can increase within the first few weeks - should this occur contact your local 24/7 crisis line (888-796-8226 Resolve Crisis Network), Dial 911 or go immediately to the nearest emergency room. If you start to feel better after a few weeks remember it is vital to continue to take your medications as prescribed. Common side-effects can include nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, headache and other symptoms.
