Full transcript
Mr. Fernando, you've mentioned feeling low for several weeks now. Can you tell me how your sleep and appetite have been lately?
දොස්තර මහත්මිය, මට රාත්රියේ නිදාගන්න බැහැ, දවසේ බොහෝ වෙලාවක් හොඳ අඩුයි. කෑම කන්න කැමැත්තක් නැහැ, බර අඩු වෙනවා.
I understand. Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or do you feel unsafe at any point during the day?
නෑ, එහෙම නරක කල්පනා නැහැ. ඒත් හිතට හරිම බර දැනෙනවා, කිසිම දෙයක් ගැන උනන්දුවක් නැහැ.
That's helpful to know. Given how long this has continued, I'd like to refer you to the mental health team at Frankston Hospital.
මට ඒක ගැන ටිකක් බයයි. ඒ සේවාව ලබාගන්න කොපමණ කාලයක් ඉන්න ඕනද, ගාස්තු තියෙනවද කියලා දැනගන්න ඕන.
If your GP mental health plan is in place, sessions are usually bulk-billed. The clinic should contact you within two weeks.
ඒක හොඳයි. ඒත් ඒ අතරතුර මම ගන්න ඕන බෙහෙතක් තියෙනවද? මට තනියම මේක දරාගන්න අමාරුයි.
I can start you on a low-dose antidepressant today, if you agree. It may cause mild nausea initially, but that usually settles within a week.
හරි, මම ඒක උත්සාහ කරන්නම්. පැත්තකින් අමාරුවක් ආවොත් ඔයාට කියන්න ඕනද, නැත්නම් කෙළින්ම රෝහලට යන්න ඕනද?
Please call me first, unless it's an emergency. I'd like to see you again in two weeks to review your progress.
තේරුනා දොස්තර මහත්මිය. ඒ දවසේ මම නැවත එන්නම්, ඉතින් තමයි මට මේ දුෂ්කර කාලෙන් එහාට යන්න පුළුවන් වෙයි.

Reading a transcript is not interpreting.
