You are a licensed clinical counselor. A 35-year-old woman comes to you who has always been very optimistic and cheerful, but suddenly is extremely depressed. There has been no change in her life circumstances, and she is aware of nothing that could be causing this depression. Given what you have learned so far, what is the first thing you might suggest to her?
a. She should see her doctor for a complete physical, and perhaps even see a neurologist to rule out any underlying physical problem.
b. She probably has some deep underlying resentment of her parents that she needs to admit to before she will be able to get better.
c. The whole family should come in for therapy, as there is obviously something going on somewhere that is not obvious.
d. She should see a psychiatrist and get medication for the depression first and foremost, then talk therapy will probably be able to help her.
