On the Trend Chart, after sustaining a partially herniated disk while skiing on May 10, 1995, this lady became acutely depressed before the pain was controlled. With prompt intervention on May 11, 1998 (evaluation, pain relief, physical therapy), treatment for her depression with medication and immediate supportive psychotherapy, and information that surgery would probably not be necessary, she realized that her fears and depression could be resolved reasonably promptly, and her life began returning to normal by June 12, 1998.

The main idea of this chart is to provide a practical, quick way of alerting the pat7ient and healthcare provider to different areas in one's life that may seriously affect health. Once alerted, one can get assistance to gather additional details about the issues. This concept of trying to do a quick screen to identify factors beyond the usual (i.e., blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, MRI, etc.) is an increasingly recognized and important part of health evaluation and treatment.

Mini data sets with expanded screening are used from a synthesis of extensive public domain information. The information below is not intended to be a detailed or finalized presentation of these categories.
