How can I help you today?
I have been irritable the past couple of weeks. I had this, I don’t know what to call it, an “episode” maybe, about 2 weeks ago. It worried some family friends and my stepmom, so she said I should get checked out. I’m here to talk about my “moods.”

Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss?
I’ve been feeling a little down the past couple of weeks too. Nothing terrible. But that’s about it.

How would you describe your moods?
All over the place. When all this started, I had broken up with a boyfriend and was struggling with it, but I decided a couple of weeks ago to get back out there. I went on a big shopping spree. I also went out and got a little more tipsy than usual – a friend, I think she was way too worried, said she should take me home after that, so I let her drive me.

Have you been more irritable or angry lately?
Yeah.

When did your anger or irritability start?
It started right after the “episode” I had. I’m here to discuss that more than the irritable feeling.

Do you get into trouble spending too much money?
Boy, did I. That shopping trip was devastating. Fun at the time though. I wish I could always feel that free and easy.

Do you get into trouble taking on too many projects?
Not usually. Although I guess trying to start a business to save souls the way I did during that “episode” could be considered a bit much. My energy level was super high during that. NR602 Week 6 iHuman: Referred for mood: Maddison Patton 24 y/o
