THE QUESTION
Subjective:
· What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis?
· What is the duration and severity of their symptoms?
· How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
Objective:
· What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
Assessment:
· Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results.
· What were your differential diagnoses?
· Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority.
· Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis.
· Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
Reflection notes:
· What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over?
· Include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!).
· Also include health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
