Scenario 3: Read the following scenario and then use the Mental Health Continuum Tool to answer the questions.

Your teammate/partner, who is a good friend, has recently retired after 35 years of service. Since retiring, they have had several health issues and are taking medication for chronic pain and insomnia. Lately, they have not been returning your calls, avoiding social gatherings, and seem to be spending more and more time alone at home watching TV and drinking alcohol. When you do meet up, you notice they have lost weight and appear unkempt. When you mention your concern, they are angry and dismiss your comments, saying “None of it matters anymore.”

What signs and indicators are you noticing in your former co-worker?
