A patient with a history of recurrent major depressive disorder asks the nurse, “What’s the point of taking these pills? I’ve been depressed so many times before.” The nurse’s most therapeutic response emphasizes:

  • The medication's role in preventing future episodes and managing current symptoms.
  • The importance of adhering to the doctor's orders without question.
  • That feelings of hopelessness are normal with depression.
  • The fact that many patients find medication helpful over time.
