 The value of integrating biological, psychological and social factors in the diagnosis of mental health conditions
 

Introduction
(Word guidance: 100 words,)
You should write an introduction that explains why we need a diagnostic  process in mental health. To properly set the scene for your answer you  will also need to explain whether you will be arguing that integrating  biological psychological and social factors in diagnosis is valuable or  not.
 

You should then aim to write four separate paragraphs (Word guidance: 200 words each) as follows:
1. A paragraph describing the history of mental health diagnosis. (200 WORDS)
 

2. A paragraph describing the case formulation approach to diagnosis. (200 WORDS)
 

3. A paragraph illustrating the usefulness of the case formulation approach by drawing on
 evidence and examples. (200 WORDS)
 

4. A paragraph discussing/illustrating the limitations of diagnosis. (200 WORDS)
 

Finally, you should write a conclusion drawing your argument to a close.  You should make a final judgement on the benefits of integrating the  different factors in the diagnostic process. (Word 100 words)
