Question

Too often depression is left undiagnosed, or simply medicated when other interventions can prove beneficial. You are working as a diversional therapist at Shady Rest Aged Care facility. A new resident, Margery, has been referred to you by the facility's doctor, who has identified that Margery is showing symptoms of depression. Margery does not want to be medicated, and does not want to talk to a psychologist. Margery was reluctant to enter the facility but, after her second fall, she finally agreed that she should be somewhere she can be monitored and taken care of.
