He denies taking these meds for any other reason but to be able to stay awake at work. He also admits that he is not in the position he thought he would be in at this age in his life. Approximately five years ago, he was laid off as the manager of a local distributing company. Since that time (which is also the time of his son's birth), he feels that he has become increasingly stressed as well as disappointed in himself. He used to go to church, but he has not been since his mother died. He believes that going to church helps him feel more grounded and at ease. It is recommended that Mr. Sinatra learn to release his stress in positive manners such as exercising in the pool, walking, and stretching, attending counseling, and going to church.
Values and Beliefs
Mr. Sinatra and his family are members of the local Episcopalian church. Mr. Sinatra has a strong belief system which he says oftentimes gives him the strength to carry on when he begins to despair.

Since his mother's death, he worked more and has not volunteered. It is recommended that one of his occupational therapy consults be geared toward the kitchen. While Mr. Sinatra is nervous about finances and time off from work, he does seem to be amenable and open to using the time to connect with the people and things that used to bring him happiness.
