Past Medical History: Significant for chronic obesity and depression.
History of Present Illness: Thomas was recently discharged from an inpatient psychiatric program for suicidal ideation. He has undergone group therapy, individual therapy, and is taking an SSRI antidepressant medication (escitalopram). Upon discharge he was feeling somewhat less depressed. He is continuing in counseling and states it is helping. He is working on a healthy eating weight-loss plan and was instructed on keeping a food log.
Social History: Thomas lives with his sister, Keisha, and her 3-year-old son Torrey. Keisha has been Thomas’ legal guardian since their mother passed-away 10 years ago from complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes and obesity. Thomas’ father is not involved in his life. About a year ago, Keisha, Thomas, and Torrey moved for Keisha’s new job in the local battery plant. Her shifts rotate between days and evenings, requiring Thomas to care for Torrey when Keisha has to work the evening shift. Last year, Thomas was in his junior year of high school and had been planning to graduate with his
classmates, so the move for Keisha’s work has been difficult for him. Thomas did not make friends at his new school and spends most of his time alone playing video games or watching television with Torrey.
