Low Interest Inpatient Case Study (Asha)
摘要
Asha is a 16-year-old transgender female who was seen by her primary care provider for concerns of low appetite and weight loss. She is eating about once per day and will consume a portion of whatever dinner is being prepared by her mother. Asha denies intentional weight loss or body image concerns related to weight, though she does endorse body image issues related to gender dysphoria. Asha has been diagnosed with major depression in the past and acknowledges that her current mood is the lowest that she has experienced. She denies any interest in eating or her usual activities; she spends most of the day in bed and has been missing school.
