Diаgnоse the fоllоwing pаtient. Mаke sure to provide evidence as to why you feel they have that disorder. Also, include a treatment plan. Name and background: Sam Park, 20-year-old junior majoring in philosophy. Lives in a campus dorm with two roommates. Comes from a culturally diverse background; reports feeling “different” since early adolescence and has a small circle of acquaintances but few close friends. Presenting problem: Over the past year, Sam has described persistent odd beliefs and unusual experiences, along with noticeable social awkwardness and discomfort in close relationships. Sam’s professors and peers have noted eccentricities in speech and behavior that stand out in class discussions and group projects. Symptoms (reported or observed) – SPD criteria indicators: Ideas of reference: Sam occasionally believes news headlines or campus conversations are personally about Sam, though not to the level of fixed delusions. Odd beliefs or magical thinking: Believes certain rituals (e.g., tapping the desk exactly three times before speaking) can influence outcomes in exams or social interactions. Unusual perceptual experiences or bodily illusions: Brief episodes where Sam feels a “presence” in the room or senses the room vibrating during quiet moments. Odd thinking and speech: Speech can be tangential, with idiosyncratic associations and metaphor-heavy language that others find hard to follow. Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation: Occasional wariness about others’ motives, especially in large group settings; worries that peers gossip about them. Inappropriate or constricted affect: Range of emotion is limited; facial expressions often do not match discussional content. Eccentric or peculiar behavior or appearance: Unconventional fashion choices, accessories with personal symbolism, and idiosyncratic grooming. Lack of close friends: Maintains only a few acquaintances; avoids intimate social relationships beyond light campus interactions. Excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity (tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments): Sam experiences heightened anxiety in social situations, especially where Sam’s beliefs or behaviors might be scrutinized. Duration and impairment: Symptoms have been present for several years, with greater emphasis in the last year. They cause clinically significant impairment in social functioning, participation in group coursework, and possibly in pursuing internships or campus activities. Medical/substance context: No recent medical illness, no current substance use. No medications that could explain mood or perceptual changes. Contextual stressors: Navigating cultural expectations, academic pressures, and the challenge of forming close relationships in a university setting. Sam often feels misunderstood by peers and faculty. Risk assessment and safety: No active self-harm or harm to others reported. No clear psychotic break or deteriorating function requiring hospitalization. If ideas become fixed or paranoid thoughts escalate, risk assessment and escalation to clinical care would be initiated per protocol. Family/cultural considerations: Values independence and intellectual exploration; may experience stigma around mental health in some cultural contexts. Sam is interested in understanding symptoms but hesitant about seeking help due to fear of being labeled as “odd.
Diаgnоse the fоllоwing pаtient. Mаke sure to provide evidence as to why you feel they have that disorder. Also, include a treatment plan. Maria, a 29-year-old graduate student, served as a medic in active combat zones overseas. About 14 months ago, during a convoy attack, she witnessed the death of a fellow medic and sustained minor injuries herself. Since then, she has experienced: 1. Intrusion of symptoms: frequent involuntary distressing memories of the attack, recurring distressing nightmares, and occasional flashbacks where she feels the event is happening again. Strong distress when exposed to loud noises (sirens, explosions) or reminders of combat. 2. Avoidance: avoids driving near military checkpoints or ambulances, avoids conversations about the event, and avoids large crowds or loud, unpredictable environments. 3. Negative alterations in cognitions and mood: persistent negative beliefs about safety and the world ("things will always be dangerous"), blame toward herself for what happened, diminished interest in activities she once enjoyed, feelings of detachment from others, and an inability to experience positive emotions. 4. Alterations in arousal and reactivity: hyper vigilance, exaggerated startle response to loud noises, irritability with friends and classmates, difficulty concentrating in lectures, and sleep disturbances (nightmares and insomnia). 5. Duration and impairment: symptoms have persisted for about 13 months and cause clinically significant distress and impairment in daily functioning, including missing classes, reduced motivation for research, and strained relationships with peers and roommates. There is no history of substance use or medical illness that could explain the symptoms, and no other psychiatric condition better accounting for the symptoms at this time.
