She does not have the energy to get out of bed in the morning on most days and is unable to sleep at night. She has not been eating lately days and has lost 5 pounds since her last primary care visit. She feels guilty that she has not been able to do much during this time but says that she just does not feel motivated or interested in any of the activities she used to love. Her past medical history is significant for childhood asthma though she is not currently taking any medications. She was also hospitalized once when she crashed her parents' car after driving for 30 continuous hours in order to test a brilliant plan that she was sure would solve global warming. A physical exam reveals a thin woman with a flat affect. She is prescribed fluoxetine and told to follow-up with her primary care physician in 4 weeks.
