Vivian: Given what you've told me, I think it might be time to reconsider your decision about antidepressant medicine. Even if things aren't severe at this point, your symptoms of depression are clearly getting worse, and there is an excellent chance that medication could help you feel better so that you can continue your interferon.

William: I was afraid you would say that.

Vivian: While I know you have some reservations about medication, I think it would really help you to feel better. We can always manage the side effects, so you don't have to worry much about them. If you'd like to start right away, you can drive over to the clinic to talk about it and pick up a prescription.

William: Well all right...I guess it is the best thing to do.

Vivian: Great. I will see you soon.
