Identify the pertinent parts related to the client and assign a DSM-5 diagnosis for that client based on your readings in the course thus far. I will tell you these case studies are written to be very broad, and the case could be made for several disorders. This is where you will see diagnosing is sometimes a little bit of an art. The main focus of this exercise is for you to link the diagnostic criteria with the symptoms in the case Vignette, not as much about accuracy of diagnosis. This is what your Professor is looking for in your paper: 1. APA style, cover paper and citations. 2 pages. 2. What is your provisional DSM-5 diagnosis? 3. Specify clearly from the vignette the constellation of signs and symptoms that led you to believe that this disorder you selected is present. Why did you choose this disorder? 4. List the criteria from your chosen diagnosis and match with the symptoms you read about.
