CASE STUDY: SITUATIONAL DEPRESSION Daniel Dev, a

CASE STUDY: SITUATIONAL DEPRESSION Daniel Dev, a 20-year-old college student, has been attending the university for 2 years. He is brought to the emergency department (ED) by his roommate, who found him lying on the floor, unconscious, with an open bottle of diphenhydramine near his hand. The roommate states that he doesn’t know Daniel very well, because Daniel spends a great deal of time studying in the library.The roommate says that Daniel has lots of friends, but over the past couple of weeks, he has seen very few of them. He also has not gone to any of his classes. In addition, although Daniel has been very active in the college band, he has not gone to any rehearsals for 2 weeks. The roommate states that a month ago, Daniel learned that his girlfriend was breaking up with him. After that, Daniel appeared quiet and withdrawn and started to sleep poorly. After receiving treatment in the ED, the client is transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) for observation and from there to the psychiatric ward. In the psychiatric ward, the client admits to Hallie Fredicks, a nurse, that he has “feelings of sadness.” He says that he feels as if “his life is over” since his girlfriend left. He feels that because she left him, he must be unworthy of love and must be a worthless individual. “No one could ever love me,” he states. He says this also is true because although his parents spent a lot of money providing him with music lessons and musical instruments over the years, he is failing his music theory class. “Nothing goes right, and it never will,” he says. “I only fail.” He is ashamed to tell his parents about the class. He feels that he has let them down and that he should be able to pass the class. He says that since he can’t pass the class, he should just give up music because he’s so lousy. He feels sad that he woke up. “Everyone would be happier without me,” he states. Mr. Dev appears sad and has poor eye contact. His clothes are dirty, and his speech is low and slow. During the assessment he slumps in the chair. 1.What objective data would you collect? 2. What subjective data would you collect?
