versus child/adolescent
Discussion Topic 1 of 1 (Minimum
350 words & APA format References)
Imagine that you are a psychology
professional in a very busy clinical practice. This week you are referred three
new clients. During the initial phone call to make an appointment each of the
clients says that they are “depressed.” However, when gathering
information, you are aware that each of them has a very different history and
symptoms.
With this in mind:
•Compare and contrast treatment of
an adult with depression as compared to treatment of a child/adolescent with
depression.
•Select either the adult or
child/adolescent and decide whether you would recommend an antidepressant.
•Explain and support your choice
including a discussion of potential for dependency.
