Example Case of Major Depression

At the last post I already give a picture about major depression through example of film, a this opportunity I want to give a real case to make us have a better understanding about major depression.

Example case:

An administrative employee, 38 years old, had received a brief depression that came up repeatedly since she was 13 years old. Recently, she was troubled by the attacks crying in the workplace, sometimes appear very suddenly that she did not have enough time to run to the ladies toilet in order to hide her tears from others. She had difficulty concentrating at work and feel less gets satisfaction from her which she usually enjoy. She kept a pessimistic feeling and severe anger, which lately has become more severe because of her weight increased and she ignores her treatment of diabetes. She felt guilty about the possibility that she was killing herself slowly by not maintaining better health. He sometimes felt deserved to die . She was disturbed by excessive sleepiness during the last year and a half , and the driving license has been detained since last month's accident in which she fell asleep at the wheel , causing her car crashed into a public phone box. Almost every morning she woke up with dizziness and feeling " not excited " , and still sleepy during the day. She never had a steady boyfriend, and peaceful life with her mother, in the absence of close friends outside the family. During the interview , she repeatedly cried and answered questions in a voice that was slow , while constantly looking down. (Adapted from Spitzer et al ., 1989 , p 59-62 in the book Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World ).
