Thirdly, he experienced changes in appetite and sleep patterns. He had a decrease in appetite and difficulty sleeping. Lastly, Mr. X exhibited diminished concentration, indecisiveness, and frequent thoughts of death or suicide.
These symptoms were assessed using standardized diagnostic criteria and were found to be consistent with a major depressive episode.
The diagnosis was made based on a comprehensive assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional. The assessment included a detailed interview, evaluation of medical history, and the use of validated depression rating scales.
It was concluded that Mr. X met the criteria for a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). The severity of the depressive symptoms was moderate and significantly impaired his daily functioning.

Regular follow-up visits were scheduled to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and make dosage adjustments if necessary.

Over the course of several months, Mr. X showed gradual improvement in his depressive symptoms.

His appetite and sleep patterns normalized, and thoughts of death or suicide diminished.
