case study 2

Kylie, a 24-year-old female patient, comes to your office for a refill of her allergy medication. Before going into the room, you note that her Patient Health Questionnaire – Depression (PHQ-9) score is 20, and that she is not currently on any medication for depression. When you enter the room, you notice that Kylie is easily startled, and she is sitting in the corner of the room very close to the wall.
