Battling Depression

Client experiences symptoms of depression and is setting small, achievable goals.

Generated PIRP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

Problem:
Client reported feelings of depression and lack of motivation, indicating a struggle with daily activities such as getting out of bed. Client expressed loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities and a sense of disconnection from friends. Client stated, "It’s like I’m stuck in a dark hole and can’t find a way out."

Intervention:
Conducted a 40-minute phone session where the symptoms of depression were discussed alongside the importance of self-compassion. The therapist and client set a manageable goal for the client to take a short daily walk.

Response:
Client acknowledged the challenges presented by the symptoms and appeared hesitant but was willing to attempt the prescribed intervention. Client agreed to the homework assignment of journaling about her feelings and any observed changes.

Plan:
The next session is scheduled for next week. Client's homework includes daily journaling to monitor her feelings and the impact of taking short walks.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

Client had a 40-minute phone session today. She talked about feeling depressed and unmotivated, saying that even getting out of bed is a struggle some days. Ummm, she mentioned losing interest in activities she used to enjoy and feeling disconnected from her friends. She said, "It’s like I’m stuck in a dark hole and can’t find a way out." We discussed the symptoms of depression and the importance of self-compassion. We set a small goal for her to take a short walk each day.
