Daphne, a 50-year-old woman, came to this country with her parents when she was 7 years old. The family members worked as migrant farm workers until they had enough money to open a restaurant. Daphne married young. She and her husband worked in the family restaurant and eventually bought it from the parents. They raised seven children, all grown and living on their own. Daphne and her husband live in a mobile home close to the restaurant. She does not work in the family restaurant anymore because she worries excessively about doing a poor job.
Daphne no longer goes out if she can help it. She stays at home worrying about how she looks, what people think or say, the weather or road conditions, and many other things. Daphne is not sleeping at night and keeps her husband awake when she roams the house. She keeps her clothing and belongings in perfect order while claiming she is doing a poor job of it. She does not prepare large family dinners anymore, though she still cooks the daily meals; one daughter has taken over the family dinners. This daughter has become concerned about Daphne being isolated at home and worrying excessively and calls the community mental health center for an appointment for Daphne.
