His wife initiated the divorce after years of dissatisfaction over her Ralph’s low mood, lack of energy, and the absence of any sense of happiness in their relationship. She and their two children continue to live in the family home, and although she supports Ralph staying involved with the children, he seldom seeks contact with them. He reports feeling empty most of the time, with little energy or interest in things. He used to enjoy fishing and tramping, but now says these things no longer excite him. His sleep is poor, as he often awakens in the middle of the night and has difficulty getting back to sleep. He often feels tired and listless during the day. He believes that he is a failure, and it is his fault that his marriage failed. He also believes that he has never lived up to his potential, and that he is now simply living out the rest of his mediocre existence. He sometimes thinks it would be a relief to be dead, although he says that he has no specific plan to end his life. He reports that he has had intense periods of these thoughts and feeling several times since his mid-twenties.

She lives with her husband of three years in a comfortable suburban home. She presents as tearful and distressed, and says that she has felt intense sadness for the past six weeks. She reports that she has lost her appetite for food, and her weight is down five kilograms in the past month, although she is not trying to lose weight. She has also lost her interest in sex, which is leading to tension with her husband. She believes that she is unable to concentrate effectively most of the time, and worries that she will be dismissed from her job. She moves and speaks in a slow, ponderous manner, as if it requires a great effort. She complains of having no energy. She says that she hasn’t experienced any significantly losses recently (e.g. no one she knows has died, they haven’t moved away from friends or family, she has not changed jobs). She also reports that her condition is not at all like the way she usually is, as she has always been an energetic, confident person.
