This is it. The presentation is tonight. This has given me a reason to rewrite my Mental Status exam. Actually just add to it. Most of the clients I see in private practice have an adjustment condition. For the most part they are able to function pretty well. Depression is the most common problem. The most severely depressed clients have difficulty getting up in the morning and taking care of their hygiene. The other common condition I see is anxiety or high stress.
Today people who watch the news find themselves feeling extreme amounts of anxiety. this is an impending feeling of doom and hopelessness. I actually had a client who felt responcible for the Korean War. The problem was that he wasn't born until after the war was over.
