Assessing for a DSM-5 Disorder in a Fictional Subject

Write the paper as though you have only had 2-3 meetings with the person, which has been enough time to do a clinical interview, get significant history from the person, and collect data from third party or observations, if applicable. You will need to address all parts discussed below. For example, if a person has had no prior mental health treatment, make that explicit. Also, assume this is a real report and the reader does not have a movie to “fill in the gaps.” This means you need to be precise, yet thorough in your description and evidence for OR against a diagnosis. However, this is an assessment, not a summary or description of movie plot.
