A 65-yeаr-оld wоmаn presented tо the office, аccompanied by her husband, with complaints of forgetfulness, reduced energy, and a decreased appetite for several months. She appeared distressed and said, "I feel terrible when I am not able to remember things. I was never like this before." On mental status examination, she had a sad affect, and the mini-mental status exam showed a score of 25/30 (a normal score is more than 24). Still, she refused to reply to some questions and needed to be persuaded continuously to participate in the examination, as most of her answers were "I don't know." What is the best next step in the management of this patient?
