You review the *SIG E CAPS symptoms of depression with Mr. and Mrs. Bender, and instruct them to follow-up with you if either of them notices a return of any *SIG E CAPS symptoms. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bender are pleased with the plan at this point. As they leave the exam room, you remind Mr. Bender to call your office if he has any questions, and wish him good luck at his upcoming basketball game.
