Rachael, have you noticed Jake's behaviour recently? First he can't decide what to eat and now he isn't eating at all?!
MATH EXAM9/40Teacher note: Poor effort Jake, attempt all questions next time.
I agree. We've gone out every week for the past year and he declined randomly last week, and he got a bad Maths result... that's unlike him... Jake, would you mind me setting up a telehealth call?
Yes please, I would appreciate that call.

Hi Doc, on the line I have Jake's mum, Jake, and you. My friend Jake has been showing signs such as irritability, change in appetite, bad moods, isolating himself, and is falling behind with school work. It has been going on for months. Jake's mum, are you aware of this?
Hi Rachael, I recently divorced my husband, which definitely affected Jake. He has been attending therapy for the time period, but obviously it is not working. He is very quiet at home. Without you I would not have been aware of his behaviours and actions.
It takes a great deal of courage to act and report this type of stuff Rachael, so thank you. Based on what I have heard, I would like to refer Jake to a psychiatrist to evaluate his health and possibly prescribe antidepressants.
Hi everyone. Thank you. I'm willing to visit a psychiatrist as I understand the value of medical treatment. I have grown in my hope towards fixing my current situation.

Hi Jake. I am a psychiatrist and I am here to help you out. Your mum and a friend of yours mentioned that you are facing some struggles. The signs and symptoms you are displaying and the fact that these symptoms are infringing on your daily life leads me to think you have depression. As therapy has not seemed to work, I would like you to start on Prozac, an antidepressant that should relieve your depression. I would still continue your therapy if I were you. I would also keep up a routine of exercise, drinking water, and engage in hobbies you enjoy.
Thank you, sir. I will take this into consideration and look out for any other signs. I was too scared to say anything about how I've felt, but now I've realised I have a great support network and there is no reason to stay silent.
