She reports that he has been “down and negative” about everything for the past 6 years. She says she is frustrated with his lack of initiative, his down mood, and his negativity. She said that she will get a divorce if things do not improve. TJ says that there is nothing wrong. “This is what I was like when she married me. I am the same person then as I am now.” He commented that he doubts counseling could be helpful and “nothing will make things better.” During the session TJ speaks slowly with very little energy or emotion. At times he seems distracted. He commented that he has difficulty making decisions, so instead of worry or get nervous, he just lays low and finds “it is easier to keep the status quo.” He commented that doing so helps keep things simple for himself. “Less to worry about.” Although he appears neatly dressed, he is obviously underweight. He says that he just does not feel like eating sometimes. He occasionally has difficulty falling asleep. His wife says that sometimes he does not even get out of bed on the weekends. He denies substance use, but commented he occasionally enjoys a beer on the weekend, “especially if it has been a long week.” TJ has a full-time job but his wife complains that he does not put much effort into excelling or getting promoted. He has been at the same entry level position for five years. He says it is too much work to compete with the others and he is fine just doing the same thing. He is shy and doesn’t often advocate for himself at work; he commented that he is OK with that. He worries how other see him, but commented he “likes to lay low so he does not rock the boat.” When asking TJ if he had any suicidal thoughts, he commented that he wonders what the point is to life, but he has not had any active suicidal thoughts. When asked about patterns, TJ commented that he doesn’t have any extreme highs, but also does not have any extreme lows. He said that he sometimes just feels he is going through the motions and feels that although his moods feel steady, it sometimes feels like he is in a steady low-grade “funk,” day in, day out and nothing seems to help and nothing has seemed to change. He said he has been this way for so long it feels normal to him. Prior to meeting, the couple met with their primary care physician to rule out medical conditions. Blood work and other test came back negative for Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and Hypothyroidism. The physician thought it might be helpful to seek counseling services to see if that could be helpful to improve his moods. Years ago TJ went to two sessions but counseling didn’t seem to help so he stopped going. He decided to come to counseling now since he cares about his wife, and hates to see her unhappy with their relationship. Step 1:  list of five diagnoses to consider based on the signs, symptoms, and other considerations Step 2: Discussion and work through the differential diagnosis process.
