Living the Criteria of the DSM-V

Description

*DSM-V needs to be one source*

Write a 5-6 page assessment in which you identify a famous individual who has been diagnosed with a disorder listed in the DSM5, describe the diagnosis, analyze the quality of their life living with the disorder, present evidence-based treatment recommendations for the disorder, and support your recommendations with findings from research.

For this assessment, you are asked to think critically about the current diagnostic system and the medical model of mental illness.

1. Select a celebrity or famous individual who has been diagnosed with a disorder listed in the DSM-5.

2. Describe the diagnosis, discussing each criterion the client fits and does not fit for that diagnosis from the DSM-5 (which you should cite).

3. Analyze the quality of their life living with this disorder.

4. In what way has the disorder impeded or limited their success?

5. In what way did it enhance their success?

6. Find a journal article that discusses this disorder and analyze how the article’s discussion of the diagnosis compares to the behaviors the individual displays?

7. Analyze treatments for the diagnosis of the chosen individual and support why they would be recommended (one or both of these treatments should come from a current, peer-reviewed journal article).

8. Discern how, as a professional in the field of psychology, you would use the information from the article to inform your professional behavior.
