Case description - I
Dean is a 28-year-old married man with a 2-year-old daughter and a
3-month-old son. He works as a manager in his parents’ food business.
He was referred by his family doctor after his wife had called the
doctor to express concern over her observations that Dean was
becoming increasingly despondent.
Over the prior 2-3 months, Dean’s symptoms had indeed escalated.
These symptoms included feeling down all the time, a lack of energy,
awakening very early in the day, difficulties concentrating at work,
withdrawal from family activities, and a decreased interest in sexual
relations with his wife. While Dean had previously been very energetic
and devoted to his work, he now found it difficult to get up in the
morning and go to the office.

Case description - II
When Dean was in his senior university year, he also had symptoms of
depression. During this time, he was under a great deal of stress arising
from his parents, and very concerned about what he would do for a
career after graduation.
However, these symptoms were followed by more dramatic changes.
Dean’s mood became persistently elevated and he experienced
hyperactivity and a decreased need for sleep. He had always been a
sensible drinker, but now he engaged in several alcohol binges. Most
significantly, his sexual desire markedly increased. He was even found
naked in his student room with an underage girl. For this he was first
arrested and then hospitalized. He never received formal charges, but he
never returned to university to complete his degree.
