, I Human Case Study: Camilla Franklin
Clinical Assessment and Management of Persistent Fatigue and Mood Changes (48-Year-Old
Female)
1. Introduction and Chief Concern
Camilla Franklin is a 48-year-old female presenting to a primary care outpatient clinic with
persistent fatigue, irritability, mood changes, sleep disturbance, and decreased concentration
over several weeks to months. Fatigue is described as constant, unrelieved by rest, and
increasingly affecting occupational performance and interpersonal relationships.
In advanced clinical assessment, fatigue is considered a multifactorial symptom, requiring
evaluation of biological, psychological, endocrine, metabolic, and social contributors. Mood
changes accompanying fatigue raise concern for systemic illness, psychiatric conditions, or
endocrine dysfunction.
2. History of Present Illness (HPI)
A structured HPI using OPQRST reveals:
• Onset: Gradual over 2–3 months
• Provocation/Palliation: Not relieved by rest or sleep
• Quality: Persistent tiredness, “mental fog,” irritability
• Region/Radiation: Systemic (not localized)
• Severity: Moderate to severe; affecting daily functioning
• Timing: All day, worsens in afternoon and evening
Associated symptoms include:
• Irritability and emotional lability
• Reduced motivation
• Non-restorative sleep
• Mild weight gain
• Possible reduced libido and concentration difficulties
