Sonia: No, I don't want to join a group. I enjoy activities by myself, not with a crowd. My sister and brother live far away, so that option is also impossible.

Vivian: At least think about it and look up some groups so that they are readily available for you if you change your mind. Also, please call in if you feel any symptoms such as pain, fatigue, insomnia, inability to concentrate, feeling down, or anything else that is out of the ordinary.

Sonia: I will call in if I feel anything different, but I don't want to join a support group. I'll try these things and let you know how I feel.

Vivian: Great, thank you. I am going to give you this Medications for Depression handout, even though you don't want to take any now. I understand your decision and am not going to force you into anything, but it is important that you know what is available should the need arise. It's just good information for you to have. Here you go.

Sonia: Thank you.
