Which of the following types of client is a candidate for referral to a mental health professional rather than just one who is difficult?
a. hostile participant
b. dissatisfied participant
c. chronic complainer
d. depressed participant
Answer: d. depressed participant
The depressed participant is a candidate for referral to a mental health professional rather than just one who is difficult because their symptoms are far reaching into their life, not just relevant to exercise, and are very serious. These client's symptoms should be addressed by a professional with the necessary specific expertise.
