Laura's Story
A 29-year-old woman named Laura was diagnosed with depression by her family doctor. Laura’s doctor recommended a combination treatment of counselling and medication. Laura started her medication and made an appointment with a psychologist.
Several weeks later, Laura was speaking to a friend who confided that she had also been diagnosed and treated for depression several years earlier. The medication she was taking had caused side-effects which she could not tolerate and, as a result, she had stopped taking it. She also explained to Laura that she eventually started feeling better once she made some lifestyle changes.
After 10 weeks of following the doctor’s advice, Laura stopped her medication and seeing her psychologist. Shortly after, her depressive symptoms became worse, she was unable to function at work and her relationship with her family suffered. Laura eventually lost her job and her husband of six years filed for a divorce.
