Jessicа, а 15-yeаr-оld girl, is referred tо yоur practice by her primary care provider for symptoms of depression and anxiety. During the initial interview, she reports having a sad mood, decreased sleep, lack of energy and motivation, and inability to focus on her schoolwork for the past 3–4 months. She also reports poor self-esteem and anxiety about her appearance, her school grades, her relationship with her parents, and her future college prospects. She denies thoughts about suicide. All of her laboratory results are within normal limits. You diagnose her with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. You educate her about her conditions, and she agrees to take antidepressant medications and to see you for weekly individual psychotherapy. You prescribe fluoxetine 10 mg/day, and slowly increase the dose to 40 mg/day over 4 months. The patient responds well to the combination of fluoxetine and weekly psychotherapy. During a recent psychotherapy session, she reports to you that she recently started dating one of the boys in her school who is 18 years old. She reports that the relationship is going well and that they exchange a lot of text messages on a regular basis. She characterizes this as “flirting” and says, “all my friends do that.” She reports that they do not exchange any information of a sexually explicit nature in their electronic communications. She requests that you keep this information confidential from her parents, as she has had an argument with her mother about one of her past boyfriends.
