Case Study
Edgar is a 23-year-old Mexican American male, married, with one child. Over the past 2 months, Edgar has experienced a depressed mood, to the extent that he has missed work multiple times. He has also had a difficult time finding energy to interact with his wife and child. At times, Edgar has had thoughts of suicide. He has not tried to act upon these thoughts, but expressed that they are troubling and cause him grief. His appetite has diminished as well, leading to a loss of about 15 lbs that he did not intend to lose. Edgar has also had a difficult time with both initial and intermittent insomnia, struggling to fall asleep at night and then waking frequently throughout the night. Overall, the past 2 months have been extremely difficult. Prior to the past 2 months, Edgar reported feeling great. He described having more energy than I have ever had in my life. Edgar reported that he did not really need to sleep much and that he was able to write music, poetry, and the first five chapters of a book within about 2 weeks of time. Edgar says that he really misses feeling so great and that the contrast with how he feels now adds to how depressed he feels. He indicates that the only negative thing he dealt with prior to feeling depressed was inability to focus, some racing thoughts, and the fact that he at times felt like people were watching him in public.
