Understanding depression is such an important task especially going into the health care industry. Imagine for a moment that you have an elderly patient who is recovering from a heart attack and he/she now has to take several medications. Will the patient take the medications on time? What if this patient is now suffering from depression because of the heart attack? Are you confident now that the patient will medicate properly? How does that affect the needs of this patient going forward? Depression can cause so many problems that we may not even be aware of and this homework assignment is meant to make you think about this in a small way.
