SECTION 1: SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT: CHRONIC FATIGUE TRIAGE
Learning Objective: Evaluate pediatric and adolescent fatigue complaints to differentiate organic conditions from primary mood
disorders.
Question 1: A 17-year-old female (A.C.) presents to the primary care clinic with a chief complaint of being 'tired all
the time' for the past two months. Her mother states that the patient sleeps 6 to 8 hours each night and has no trouble
falling asleep, but still wakes up tired. Which of the following represents the most appropriate initial diagnostic and
evaluation sequence?
A. Prescribe an immediate trial of an oral sleep-aid medication before performing any physical or laboratory evaluation.
B. Initiate a comprehensive clinical history exploring academic changes, interest loss, and stressors, alongside targeted
systemic screening laboratory tests.
C. Refer the patient immediately to an inpatient sleep study laboratory to rule out primary narcolepsy.
D. Reassure the family that chronic fatigue is a normal developmental variant in senior-year high school students.
ANSWER ■: B — Initiate a comprehensive clinical history exploring academic changes, interest loss, and
stressors, alongside targeted systemic screening laboratory tests.
Adolescent fatigue is a highly non-specific presenting symptom with a broad differential diagnosis spanning organic (e.g.,
anemia, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, infectious mononucleosis) and psychiatric (e.g., major depressive disorder, anxiety)
conditions. A rigorous clinical history covering grades, interests, and stressors, paired with targeted baseline blood work, is the
gold standard initial evaluation sequence.
KEY CONCEPT:
Adolescent chronic fatigue requires a systematic diagnostic approach to rule out organic diseases while simultaneously
screening for underlying psychiatric conditions.
COMMON MISTAKE WARNING:
Dismissing chronic fatigue as typical adolescent behavior or immediately prescribing sleep aids without checking baseline labs
and psychological history.

SECTION 2: SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT: VEGETATIVE SLEEP DISTURBANCE
Learning Objective: Analyze vegetative sleep changes in adolescent depression to identify atypical depressive patterns.
Question 2: During the clinical interview, A.C. states that although she sleeps 6 to 8 hours each night and has no
issue falling asleep, she consistently wakes up tired. Which of the following terms best describes this vegetative
feature of adolescent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)?
A. Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, which is common in high school athletes.
B. Hypersomnia and non-restorative sleep, representing atypical vegetative features of depression.
C. Physiologic sleep-cycle compliance, which is common in healthy adolescents.
D. Initial sleep-onset insomnia secondary to severe acute panic attacks.
ANSWER ■: B — Hypersomnia and non-restorative sleep, representing atypical vegetative features of
depression.
While adult depression often presents with initial or terminal insomnia, pediatric and adolescent depression frequently presents
with 'atypical' vegetative features, including hypersomnia and non-restorative sleep (feeling tired despite adequate sleep
duration). Identifying non-restorative sleep is a key diagnostic criterion for depressive episodes.
KEY CONCEPT:
Waking up exhausted despite sleeping 6 to 8 hours represents non-restorative sleep, a classic vegetative symptom of atypical
depression in adolescents.
COMMON MISTAKE WARNING:
Assuming that a patient cannot be depressed if they are sleeping 6 to 8 hours a night, missing the non-restorative quality of their
sleep.
