After reading the case study provided on Blackboard, write a diagnosis for the individual. This paper should be between 3-5 pages in length. 1.The first part of your paper is where you justify your diagnosis. In other words, why do you think this client has the diagnosis you are making? Do NOT just summarize the case. Instead, identify symptoms that meet the criteria for the DSM V diagnosis. For example, if you think the person in the case study suffers from schizophrenia, give examples of his symptoms & explain how those symptoms match the DSM V criteria for schizophrenia. Be thorough, convincing & use the DSM V to back up your diagnosis.Describe which form of treatment (psychotherapy, medication, etc) you would suggest given your diagnosis of the case. Be specific in what type. For example, you would suggest cognitive-behavioral therapy or a certain type of SSRI antidepressants, NOT drug therapy or psychotherapy.
