Popis: The patient is a 16-year-old, white, female high school senior at an exclusive college preparatory school. The patient had played soccer for her own school team as well as for an elite travel team, the latter consuming a large portion of her time, impinging upon her time for homework and for socializing. The patient’s mother reported that the patient had sustained several concussions playing soccer; that due to her injuries, she was banned from playing for life; and that because soccer had been an important part of her identity, she had been feeling increasingly depressed, and recently had expressed suicidal ideation.
