Arthur is а 71yr оld mаrried mаn, referred by his PCP fоr depressiоn that has not responded to medication. His wife reports he began to change at age 68 after retirement. He slowly stopped golfing and playing cards. He sat on the couch all day worrying about finances and the future. His PCP started him on Venlafaxine and titrated to 150mg daily (for the past year). On exam, he is alert and cooperative. Speech is soft but normal in rate and rhythm. He denies feeling sad or guilty, but thought he retired too early. He is oriented except for the date. He remembered two of three objects in 2 minutes and performed 3 of 5 serial 7 subtractions correctly. Arthur has been on Venlafaxine 150mg daily for the past year without improvement. What would be an appropriate next step in his treatment plan?
