Case Study 11: A 38-year-old man has been increasingly anxious about his job in a large manufacturing company. He feels that he has been passed over for a promotion several times. The patient is preoccupied with many small events and conversations that have occurred at work during the year and worries how his superiors will interpret them. He finds it difficult to control his worrying. During the day at work he feels restless and edgy. At home he is irritable and has difficulty sleeping. He wife asks him about work but he doesn’t want to talk about it.
I have searched into this man's conditions and I have concluded that he may be suffering from depression. The trigger of his worries seems to be from the fact that he thinks he should have been promoted several times, but has not. Another trigger is that he worries what his bosses feel about how he works. This has caused him to worry about multiple things and it affects his life. During work he feeks restless and edgy this may be due to his constant worrying. At home he can not sleep because of his worrying aswell. He also refuses to talk to his wife about his problems.
I would recomend him to tell about his problems to his wife and others. This way he will feel better and not be depressed about not getting his promotion. I would also suggest asking his boss why he has not been promoted and how he can fix if any the problem. This way he will rid himself of his worries.
In conclusion i have seen that depression can be caused by multiple problems such as death, work, home, family, and many other topics.

good job. you clearly related the disorder to your case study, but with the therapy, i was thinking more along the lines of professional help. other than that it was great
I think you did a good job of diagnosing and explaining this man's disorder. I do agree with Erica in the fact that you could have explained the professional help this man can get, but other than that, good job!
Great post. Your diagnosis was really descriptive and well written, but I do agree with Erica in that he should probably seek professional help rather than simply opening up to his wife.
