A psychiatry registrar in Perth tells you, a fellow registrar, that since his father died four months ago he has had low mood, waking at 4 am and poor concentration, and has made two prescribing errors on the ward. He has been taking his wife's escitalopram and has twice written himself a prescription for temazepam. He has no general practitioner of his own, does not want anything on a record, and asks you to write his next script. Which one of the following is the most appropriate advice?
