Jane is a 50 year old woman who comes to see you on the advice of her GP, who has been treating her for depression. Jane is divorced with two adult children, aged 27 and 30, and for most of her adult life has been a full-time carer for her mother who was paralysed in a car accident, which killed her father when she was 29.
Janes mother died several month ago, and Jane now lives alone as her children moved away some years ago. Jane tells you that she wants to get on with her life but is finding it extremely difficult. She would like to have a relationship, but finds it difficult to meet people and is anxious about leaving home for long periods. She would also like to restart her career as a nurse, which she gave up when she started to look after her mother, but she feels that it might be too late and worries that she is too old to retrain to meet the new practise requirements.The case study should include;
