Assessment: GG, A 52-year-old Hispanic female with past medical history of Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, and PTSD presents today via Telehealth as a new patient for evaluation of worsening anxiety and depression after being bereaved of 4 family members. The patient’s mental health and psychiatric medications have been managed by her primary care doctor until now. Patient is currently prescribed Alprazolam 1 mg BID PRN, Trazodone 150 mg QHS, Quetiapine 100 mg QHS, and Hydroxyzine 25 mg PRN (which she is not using). Patient symptoms of excessive worrying, fatigue, depressed mood, and decreased interest in normal activities are worsening despite being compliant with her current medical regimen. Vitals not checked, current height and weight was stated by patient, ROS was unremarkable, no history of trauma or seizures. Given the patient’s history, her current medical regimen is most likely not helping the patient’s anxiety and depression. Furthermore, there is no evidence to support a diagnosis of bipolar disorder in this patient; and a mood stabilizer antipsychotic, such as quetiapine should not be used as first line coverage for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. Sertraline, an SSRI, would be a more effective management for this patient as it provides effective coverage for anxiety, depression, as well as PTSD.
