Questions

A 42-yeаr-оld mаn presents with recurrent episоdes оf mаjor depressive disorder. He generally experiences remissions at therapeutic doses of serotonin reuptake inhibitors but has subsequently required dosage escalations to control symptoms. He was eventually changed to a new medication due to resistance to adequate trials at maximum dosages. His only current medication is sertraline 200 mg per day. His adult children brought him to the emergency department due to concerns that he is behaving differently than during past episodes of depression. They report he has withdrawn from them and refuses to speak to anyone. He sits in his recliner all day and stares straight ahead. They have been unable to get him to eat for two days. They even tried to put a glass of juice in his hand and lift it to his mouth, at which time he kept his hand up by his mouth but did not take a drink. They ended up removing the glass from his hand so that he did not accidentally break it. His mental status exam is significant for lack of speech and lack of movement except for purposelessly keeping his right arm up in the air. When the examiner attempts to lower the patient’s arm, he demonstrates slight, even resistance. Which of the following is the best initial step?
