DEPRESSIVE PATIENT HISTORY

Miss X claimed that her life had been troubled throughout. When her father died she was just 7 years old. She praised her father for being so kind. After her father died she stopped going to school, and when she was 18 years old, she got married. She said that she wasn't mentally ready for marriage at the time. Her husband's family and her in-laws caused her a lot of problems after the wedding. She was the lone family member responsible for looking after the entire unit. Her husband treated her quite well at first, but with time, as a result of constant pressure from his family, things started to change for the worst. She returned to her mother's house after numerous arguments with her husband, but her brothers there refused to acknowledge her presence and made her return to her husband's house, where she didn't want to dwell. She began to experience symptoms of lost interest, insomnia, concentration issues, and a sense of worthlessness four months ago as a result of this familial environment. She felt she had no reason to live anymore, which made her want to end her life.
