After reviewing her clinical depression assessment, you have made the diagnosis of clinical depression based on her presentation. You have chosen to prescribe a SSRI. Address what patient education needs to be provided when prescribing this medication.
Include potential side effects and interactions with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Identify nutritional and alternative medicine (CAM) that a patient could use with this disorder. Discuss any referrals to specialists that may be needed for this patient. What local, state, national, and global resources could you provide the patient?
