Sonia: I really don't want to take anything, and seeing a psychiatrist or a therapist is just not something I feel is right for me. I think it's too severe.

Vivian: Okay, I understand and respect your choices. Please keep an open mind so that if you start to feel bad, you can still consider these options. Remember that I will be meeting and working with you, no matter what you decide.

Sonia: Okay.

Vivian: Call in if you have any change of mood, loss of energy, or anything like that. Also, I would like to regularly assess your situation with the BDI. Is all right with you?

Sonia: That is fine, so long as I don't have to see a mental doctor or take medications while I don't feel like I need it.
