CC: “It is disheartening, and I can’t forget the experience.” History of Present Illness (HPI): Jane is a female adult aged 40 living in California with his husband of fifteen years and his three boys aged ten, six, and three. She is under tremendous pressure and stress trying to balance schooling, parenting, and return to work. According to her husband, who visited the facilities where I worked, Jane has a history of poor concentration or attention. Medical practitioners identified the problem symptoms during her teenage life, which has progressed to adulthood and worsened for the past three months. Doctors who have examined her recommended that she get exceptional support and attention from her parents and teachers. However, her learning abilities were not severely affected because she used earplugs during her studies. Time management and focusing difficulties have affected her into adulthood, resulting in poor financial management and family or work imbalance. Jane is jovial and optimistic, although her mood may change abruptly. She always copes with the situation by putting “pressure” on herself, resulting in stress, depression, low self-esteem, self-guilt, and anxiety. However, her big worry is to manage and coordinate things both at home and place of work. She thinks giving one area more attention may result in neglecting the other, including her family. Jane is worried about perceived inefficiency or underachievement, especially in her place of work. Her procrastination, prioritization, and organization problem also influences the problem. Jane cannot focus on one task for more than one hour resulting in uncompleted tasks. Work, academics, and family responsibilities are very demanding on her, making her feel stressed. Jane is also worried about her home responsibilities, resulting in poor performance and a lack of focus in her workplace. Jane is sometimes overwhelmed by her worries and fear of inconsistency or underperformance based on work expectations and her corresponding capacity. She is easily affected by stressful situations or events at work, forcing her to retreat or withdraw from the public instead of calling for help. According to a report she gave to the primary physician, of late, she always feels stressed, which can be triggered by anything. Three years ago, Jane almost fell into acute depression when her father fell ill and was diagnosed with lung cancer, and her dog was sick to near death. According to her husband, Jane has used anti-depressants for the last five years as directed by her psychiatrist to manage her depression, though with no record of committing suicide or suicidal thoughts.
