Review this case study
HPI: KB, 55 year old Caucasian female who presents to office with
complaints of fatigue. The fatigue has been present for 6 months and seems
worse in the morning, improving slightly through the day. KB reports a lack
of energy and "loss of joy". States" I really don't feel like going anywhere or
doing anything" Reports she often has difficulty staying on task and
completing projects for work. She reports not feeling hungry and does not
feel rested when she wakes up in the morning. KB is a widow for 2 years,
social events that are couples only can make her symptoms worse. She tries
to do at least one social activity a week but it can be really exhausting. Her
husband died in their car while she was driving him to the hospital and
sometimes driving in that car makes all the memories come back. She
recently got a puppy, which she thought would help with the loneliness but
the care of the puppy seems overwhelming at times. Rest and exercise,
specifically yoga and meditation seem to make her feel better. At this time
she does not want to do either. She has not tried any medications, prescribed
or otherwise. She reports drinking a lot of coffee, but that does not seem to
help.

time" but she misses him.
