The nurse observes that the client’s speech is slow; she has an unkempt appearance and maintains poor eye contact with the nurse. The nurse asks her to clarify what she means by not feeling well. The client states “I feel like I am losing my mind. Since my husband died a year ago, I can’t seem to remember anything. I lose my keys and wallet all the time. The other day, I even forgot how to get home from the supermarket. My neighbor saw me walking around aimlessly and came over to me. I was a block from home.

Ella is an attorney who has worked in private practice for 25 years. She estimates she works 70 hours/week between the office and the courtroom. She has attributed her persistent fatigue to her schedule, poor diet (“I usually eat on the run, whatever is available”) and alcohol consumption (“I drink a bottle of wine a couple nights a week, and maybe more at the weekend especially if there are lots of dinners with clients”). Her fatigue has recently worsened and she has been feeling nauseous and light-headed consistently over the last several days.
