Problem: Jane is a 15-year-old female who has been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, severe without psychosis and previous passive suicidal ideations. Jane and mom would like to start her on medication and initiate therapy. Jane's primary symptom is anhedonia and anergia. Mom is concerned because Jane does not often remember to take medication and mom does not want Jane to have withdrawal if she misses a dose of medication. Please outline an appropriate plan of care for Jane including tips/tricks for mom and Jane to take medication, safety tips and what medication you would consider for Jane (include dose, frequency, and instructions). Please support your plan of care. No references required but please feel free to use external resources.
