A Physician's Assessment Of Depression Can Be Hampered By His Personality

This report discusses the topic of how the different personalities of physicians can affect their assessment of a patient's clinical depression symptoms as well as their treatment for this mental illness. According to their research, there are three characteristic categories that a physician can fall into: dutiful, vulnerable, and open. The dutiful physician is usually blunt about the diagnosis of clinical depression but brief in the questioning during the assesment part. This is due to their concern of ending an appointment on time rather than "extending an office visit". The vulnerable physician also acts in the same manner. Patients are shown to prefer physicians like these two because they are straight forward and that is the type of doctors most patients trust.

My name is Jessica and I'm a junior at AHS. I've been on varsity tennis for 3 years now. Every year I say I'm gonna quit but I never do. I guess it's pretty fun though. My favorite color is purple. I actually decided to take physiology/anatomy randomly because I didn't know what science to take this year but i turned out liking the class and stayed. I've always liked doing dissections and learning about how the body works. I think it's pretty cool and I'm really excited to do some this year.
