Introduction
Different mental health disorders present with different symptoms. Looking at the specific characteristics of a person’s thoughts and behavior can lead to a diagnosis and effective treatment.
For both children and adults, a timely and accurate diagnosis is of utmost importance. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is used to diagnose and treat disorders. The theoretical perspective of a mental health practitioner also influences their preferred treatment methods. Many factors contribute to the creation of a treatment plan.
For this assessment, you will prepare written diagnoses for three clients using the DSM-5.
