Case Presentation
Part One:
1Diagnostic Summary and MSE
Diagnostic Summary Carl Dunn is a Caucasian young man who is currently living in Derby.
1The chief complaints regarding Carl are “odd ideation and bizarre behaviors” and this influenced significant concern among his teachers as well as instructors. He also has a present and past diagnosis of adjustment struggles, eccentricities, and tick-like mannerisms, no reported history of substance abuse but surrounded by friends who drug and alcohol abusers. Carl did not report any past medical history but reported a short family history during which he explained that his mother has been different relationships with both men and women, during which she changed both his last name frequently to suit that person she was dating at that time.
2Carl said that he lives in Darby.
1Mental Status Exam o Appearance - Carl was casually dressed, well-groomed, calm, and seat in a slouched posture. o Behavior or psychomotor activity – He maintained appropriate eye contact with a few repetitive movements as well as appropriate motor activity
o Attitudes toward the interviewer or examiner – He maintained appropriate behavior toward the examiner as well as he was cooperative.
1o Affect and mood - Carl described his mood as calm stating on a scale of 0- 10 with 0 being his worse mood and 10 his best he falls in the middle which is 5. He appeared to have a normal and appropriate affect. o Speech and thought – His speech was clear and his thoughts were logical but at some point, they become disorganized.
o Perceptual disturbances- No signs paranoia, suicidal or ideation were identified, despite him admitting to having an imaginary friend who helps him gets songs or thoughts out of his head
1o Orientation and consciousness - Carl was alert as well as oriented with some forgetfulness as he could not remember the date or season. o Memory and intelligence- His immediate memory and short-term memory are ok. He was able to repeat and remember the three words o Reliability, judgment, and insight- Carl did demonstrate very little insight into his illness and fair judgment of his actions. He is in denial of hearing voices
Part Two:
2Analysis of MSE
1Some of the areas that will require follow-up data collection to be conducted included the patient’s past medical history, his family history, information regarding his psychiatric illness as well as conducting an interview to determine if he is hearing voices because he claimed to have an imaginary friend((Neukrug & Fawcett, 2014).
Conducting a cross-cutting measure will shed some light or offer a further explanation regarding Carl’s feelings.
Additionally, this approach will allow the examiner to be in a position to effectively measure as well as understand the answers being provided by Carl during the MSE exam (Morrison, 2014).
1To be in a position to point out the various changes in the individual’s symptom presentation over time, the cross-cutting measure may be completed at regular intervals as clinically indicated, depending on the stability of the individual’s symptoms and treatment status.
3For individuals with impaired capacity, the same knowledgeable informant should complete the measures at a follow-up appointment.
The answers provided by Carl during the examination did not have any contribution towards the ability to diagnose his condition because he did not provide detailed information which made it to be insufficient for triggering the diagnosis.
1Also, if information about the imaginary friend or voice were available it could trigger a diagnosis.
Self-stigma happens when an individual internalizes the aspects that may contribute to them to suffering numerous negative consequences as a result (Corrigan & Rao, 2012).
If a wrong diagnosis provided to Carl, it could lead to misdiagnosis and its resulting negative effects (Morrison, 2014).
The possible diagnosis being provided to carl based on the information attained from the examination is the tentative diagnosis.
this is because more information needs to be collected in order to develop a more appropriate diagnosis ((Neukrug & Fawcett, 2014).
1The more information that is gathered during this process the more accurate the diagnosis. When a tentative diagnosis is a misdiagnosis, and it is communicated to Carl, it can interfere with his treatment.
