CC (chief complaint): I am not doing well this time of the year

HPI: HPI: J. H. is a 19-year-old white female who presents for psychiatric evaluation. She complained

of not doing well in school, but she verbalized that she felt okay. She is in a particular business

program, but she cannot seem to get it done where she is already late on passing two projects.

She left the program at school. She stated that after reading the newspaper, she could not

remember what she just read. She stated that the teacher is getting to be a bit of a pain. She also

reports being unable to concentrate, and she slept through five of her classes this month. She said

that she could make friends and later they got dull. She reports that she lost interest quickly and

gets mood swings a little bit, and she cannot get over anything. With the weather this time of the

year, she stated that it is dark, gray, and miserable—the whole city changes. The patient does not

like winter. The patient is not currently on any prescribed psychotropic medication.

Assignment: Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Mood Disorders

Assignment: Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Mood Disorders

Accurately diagnosing depressive disorders can be challenging given their periodic and, at times, cyclic nature. Some of these disorders occur in response to stressors and, depending on the cultural history of the client, may affect their decision to seek treatment. Bipolar disorders can also be difficult to properly diagnose. While clients with a bipolar or related disorder will likely have to contend with the disorder indefinitely, many find that the use of medication and evidence-based treatments have favorable outcomes.

To Prepare:

Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing mood disorders.

Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document.

View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.

Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.

Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.

Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient. !!!

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?

Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? 

Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.

Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

Brainy Braine, please I am attaching a templet complete the templet with the above case study,reflective notes etc add three differential diagnosis and 5 reference. Thank you. You did a good job for my friend ,I gave you reference
