Sample Case
MS is 25 year old female, who has been coming to your pharmacy for the past five years. Her physician calls to renew her prescriptions and a new prescription for Sertraline (Zoloft) 50mg po once daily.
When MS comes to your pharmacy to pick up her medications, you note that she looks tired and has lost a significant amount of weight. She tells you that she wants all of her medications except for the Zoloft that her doctor ordered.
![Page 24: Pharmacists in Medication Adherence in Psychiatric Patients › › ...Pharmacists in Medication Adherence in Psychiatric Patients Mamta Parikh, PharmD, BCPS, BCPP Assistant Professor,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060211/5f04c19b7e708231d40f8c55/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sample CaseYou bring MS into the private consultation room to express your concerns and understand why she doesn’t want her antidepressant.
She acknowledges that she has not been eating properly and has been staying in bed for most of the day. She always feels tired, which has resulted in her missing some days at work. She is embarrassed to tell her family because she does not think they will understand her.
During her visit, her physician told her that she has depression and prescribed an antidepressant. MS thinks she has been feeling this way because she is too weak to cope with some stressors that she has been dealing with. She does not understand how taking a pill will help her.

Sample Case
What are some barriers that are preventing MS from seeking the appropriate care?
What are some counseling points and recommendations that you can make at this time?
