A 42-year-old patient presents with low mood, insomnia, loss of interest, and impaired concentration for 6 weeks. There is no history of mania. What is the best next step?
Correct: B
The key clues are duration, impairment, and absence of mania. The exam logic is to assess safety and initiate appropriate management rather than passively reassure.

Today I attended ethics workshop. I found it highly engaging and insightful. The facilitator created a comfortable environment for open discussion, and the topics were highly relevant to day-to-day clinical practice. It strengthened my understanding of patient autonomy, consent, and professional responsibility. Thank you so much Dr. Zunaira, Dr. Minahil and Dr. Areej.
