Mrs. C reported having fleeting suicidal ideas but no concrete plans or actions. She was diagnosed with a recurrent depressive episode, the current episode being severe, without psychotic symptoms. Upon receiving psychiatric attention since 2015, her mood had shown some improvement, but she still often maintained that she had fulfilled her duties to her family and had no reason for living any more. Mrs. C continued having a sense of worthlessness and hopelessness. She reported having an early death wish and that she wished for a quick natural painless death. Mrs. C had no actual suicidal plans because she was afraid that she would be a burden to her family if the suicide was not successful. She was dysthymic and tearful when husband was mentioned. There was no abnormality of speech. There were no psychotic symptoms. She was not suicidal or aggressive.
