Estudio de caso en paciente con trastorno de depresión mayor con ansiedad

Abstract

Abstract: This clinical case study corresponds to a 26-year-old woman with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, moderate single episode, with anxious symptoms of moderate severity. The evaluation process is described, including the presumptive and definitive diagnoses, based on the analysis of the functional relationship between the disorder and the physiological, motor, and cognitive symptoms. In addition, the integrative approach of the applied treatment is exposed, which focuses mainly on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, complemented with Gestalt therapy techniques and solution-focused brief therapy. The results of the treatment demonstrate the efficacy of the implemented techniques, since the evaluation before and after the treatment revealed a complete remission of the depressive and anxious symptoms. This was evidenced through the scores obtained in the reassessments carried out using the BDI-II (Beck Depression Inventory), the BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), from the latter one observed a significant increase in the patient's self-esteem.
