3. "My son will only need to attend outpatient appointments when he starts to feel depressed again."
4. "My mother might need help with grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning for a while."

Respuesta :

Answer:

3. "My son will only need to attend outpatient appointments when he starts to feel depressed again."

Explanation:

Psychoeducational groups are a type of group that is designed to educate clients about a specific health issue such as depression and substance abuse.

Depression is a serious psychological issue and medication will help a patient feel better over a period of 2 to 4 weeks.

The first client who spoke about the husband getting better after taking his medicine understood the teaching

Joining groups and taking antidepressants will help a depressed person stay well.

It is important for family members to support depressed patients by helping with their chores such as cooking and grocery.

However additional teaching is needed for a family member who proposes that the son will only need to attend outpatient appointments only when he feels depressed again. Continuous appointments are important for depressed patients
