CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
An 80-year-old male veteran presents with late-life depression and PTSD. His spouse is deceased, and both adult children are estranged, with one son having a family of his own.
Key decisions
- Marking the veteran as the identified patient with index and dual conditions for depression (half-left) and PTSD (half-right)
- Using cutoff emotional lines to represent estrangement from both adult children
- Including the deceased spouse and the son's family to show intergenerational context
When to reuse this
Useful for clinicians exploring family dynamics, loss, and isolation in geriatric depression, especially in veteran populations.
