    Matt Slattery, an 18-year-old, was admitted for depression and substance abuse of cocaine. He appears agitated, irritable, anxious and restless. His memory is intact. Depression is caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters or impaired ability to use available neurotransmitters like norepinephrine. Cocaine inhibits monoamine reuptake, altering receptor sensitivities in reward centers. The patient's priority diagnoses are ineffective individual coping, powerlessness related to substance abuse, and disturbed thought process related to depressed mood. Goals are for the patient to develop effective coping skills, regain a drug-free lifestyle, and identify negative thoughts. Interventions include encouraging relaxation skills, evaluating powerlessness's impact, and assisting in identifying negative thinking
