OM is a 68 year old man who comes in today complaining that he cannot get to sleep or stay asleep and he feels miserable all the time. He just cant seem to like anything anymore. His daughter is also here for this appointment to discuss his worsening dementia. She has been having a time watching him due to his lack of sleep. He has also been sneaking into her purse and stealing cigarettes when she dozes off. She thinks he might have to be put in a nursing home soon if this keeps up. He has a current medical history of diabetes, Parkinsons, and dementia. He is currently on atorvastatin, lisinopril, aspirin, metformin, rasagiline, empagliflozin, and donepezil.
