A 27-year-old woman is admitted to the psychiatric ward. She appears lethargic. When asked about her emotions, she responds, ‘Let me start by telling you about my recent job interview. It went well, but I’m still waiting to hear back. I really need this job to pay off my student loans and start saving for a house. I’ve been feeling stressed about money lately.’ She continues to talk about her financial situation.
Upon further questioning, she exhibits similar behavior and speaks slowly throughout.
How would you describe her behavior?
