Goal: Ms. Z. will have well managed anxiety 90% of the time. CC: Ms. Z. presents for f/u of anxiety. She notes my nerves are bad. HPI: Ms. Z. notes a 1 week exacerbation of her anxiety, which she attributes to her sons military deployment. She rates anxiety as 9/10 (10=worst) and believes her level of anxiety is out of proportion to event. She also reports muscular tension, sleep disturbance, and poor concentration. She denies any SI, citing her children as strong deterrents. PFSH: Ms. Z. has longstanding GAD. Her meds include sertraline 100mg daily as well as lisinopril 10mg daily from her PCP. She has family support from her husband, adult daughter, and mother. ROS: Constitutional: Ms. Z. reports a reduced appetite but denies any recent weight change GI: Ms. Z. denies any nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea since starting sertraline MSE: Appearance/Behavior: WD WN WF in NAD. Well groomed, good eye contact, cooperative. Thought/Speech: Denies SI/HI/AH/VH; no overt attention to internal stimuli. Thought processes demonstrate rumination on sons deployment. Speech RRR and goal-directed with normal volume, articulation, and initiation. Mood/Affect: Anxiety 9/10, denies depression, congruent and tearful affect. Orientation: A&O X 4 Attention span was interrupted by ruminations related to her son and required frequent redirection. Insight and judgment appear intact, as she recognizes her anxiety and is utilizing her support system. Imp: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Severe exacerbation Plan: We discussed treatment options, including no change, increase in sertraline, or addition of psychotherapy to target recently increased anxiety. Since she had previously done very well on the current sertraline dose, and since there is a clear stressor that has triggered her exacerbation, she and I agreed that psychotherapy is the best choice at present. No change to the sertraline. I will order a referral for psychotherapy. RTC 2 weeks, sooner prn.
