Carmen is a 19-year-old female who was referred to occupational therapy at an out-patient clinic by Dr. Findlay to be evaluated and treated. Dr. Findlay’s referral came after Carmen was recently discharged from a three-day acute care stay in the Psychiatric Ward. During the acute stay, Carmen’s depression and anxiety from the break-up with her boyfriend, of three-years, was discussed. The doctors have not started Carmen on any medications for her depression or anxiety. Carmen’s ex-boyfriend broke up with her three weeks ago, around the time school started.
