Within Unit VIII, you have learned about various psychological disorders and the complexities involved with proper diagnoses and treatment efforts. Now it is time to put your skills to the test.
Choose ONE of the cases listed below and create a mental health assessment for your chosen case. In the assessment, you should address the following:
a. Why is your client coming for treatment?
b. What are his or her current symptoms?
c. Does he or she have a history with this problem?
If so, please describe it. d. How could the issue affect his or her daily life functions?
e. What is your client's specific diagnosis? f. What is the general class(es) of disorders to which this disorder belongs?
g. What are your recommendations? What specific treatment plan will you prescribe for this patient?
You should use your textbook as a reference to substantiate your plan. h. How could you get his or her family involved?
Chose ONE of these cases to analyze. 1. Tony sometimes seems very wound up. At those times, he seems full of energy, talks very rapidly, and makes very grandiose plans.
Once, he gave away all of his belongings and was planning to move to Washington, D.C., so that he could advise the President. At these times, he also seems to need almost no sleep.
During other periods of time Tony seems very down. During these times, he does not take care of himself. He seems to want to sleep all the time, and he often makes thinly veiled references to wanting to commit suicide.
In your case study, you must incorporate research from the textbook to substantiate your diagnosis. You may also use the Waldorf Online Library for additional reference material if needed, but this is not required. Your response should be at least two pages in length.
All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
