DIAGNOSIS OF SOMATIC SYMPTOM AND RELATED DISORDERS

Submit your diagnosis for the client in the case. Follow the guidelines below.

• The diagnosis should appear on one line in the following order.

Z code (appears on its own line next with its name written next to the code)

Then, in 1–2 pages, respond to the following:

• Explain how you support the diagnosis by specifically identifying the criteria from the case study.

o Describe in detail how the client’s symptoms match up with the specific diagnostic criteria for the disorder (or all the disorders) that you finally selected for the client. You do not need to repeat the diagnostic code in the explanation.

• Identify the differential diagnosis you considered.

• Explain why you excluded this diagnosis/diagnoses.

• Explain the specific factors of culture that are or may be relevant to the case and the diagnosis, which may include the cultural concepts of distress.
