Beth is a 24-year-old separated mother of a 10-month-old daughter. She called the hotline of the local mental health clinic today because she felt so depressed that she could not get out of bed. Beth explained to the hotline crisis worker that she has felt this way for the past six months. Beth described feeling "lifeless and hopeless" that she has no energy to do anything. She also said that nothing is really enjoyable to her anymore, and as a result, she has become increasingly reclusive and prefers to be left alone. Since Beth's husband left her to run of with one of her best friends, Beth feels that she doesn't "have anything to live for." When questioned directly about suicidal intent, she denied feeling like killing herself, but then admitted that she tried to cut her wrists a few days ago when she received a copy of the divorce papers, but "lost the nerve" and could not go through with it. "Besides," she said, "I could not leave my baby all alone, with no one to look out for her.
