Text: Therapist notes from August 2004 describe White as being overwhelmed, but also said that she was doing better [living in her mother's] basement. In September 2004, White was described by a therapist as underfunctioning. White also stated that anything beyond the most basic things she does is too much for her. Dr. Venkataraman reported that White's status was deteriorating and that her GAF remained at 50 as of September 2004. In October of the same year, a therapist noted that White was continuing to assert herself about [her] disability claim and that she was unmotivated to get out of her bed except to care for herself and her animals. The same therapist notes state that she is making progress. In November 2004, White said that other people were asking too much of her. White's status was described as critical (a designation that is not explained in the record) and she was found to be focused on the negative aspects of her circumstances. Also in November 2004, Dr. Venkataraman reported White's condition as stable and that she had a GAF of 50 at that time. Therapy notes from December 2004 said that White, although continuing to have difficulty with her mood, was doing well.
