Your Client Recently Disclosed That She Has Depression and This

Your client recently disclosed that she has depression and this negatively affects her eating behaviors. She said she "has it all under control" and still wants to come to nutrition counseling and improve her nutrition. However, she continually cites her mental health as the primary reason for nonadherence. What would you say to this client?

A) Are you sure you have your depression under control? It seems like it is still affecting your eating behaviors.
B) Have you thought about taking medicine for your depression? I think it might help you feel better. Then you can focus on setting nutrition-related goals.
C) I would recommend following MyPlate. It is a flexible plan, and you should still be able to follow it even when you are feeling depressed.
D) It sounds like your depression is interfering with your nutrition goals. Have you even thought about meeting with a psychotherapist to address your depression?
E) Do you think there are other reasons you aren't sticking to your goals? You look fine to me.
