Film Review Of The Diagnostic Criteria

Often people forget that the community in which they live in plays a vital role on their lifestyle. Your community may influence you on how you experience others culture, it may predispose you to certain illnesses and crimes due to location. It may influence you to think big and want better for your future and your children’s future base on the people you are surrounded by. Communities sometimes influence its member’s careers paths base on merely the need of that community.

Diagnostic Features: The essential feature of Bipolar II Disorder is a clinical course that is characterized by the occurrence of one or more Major Depressive Episodes (Criterion A) accompanied by at least one Hypomanic Episode (Criterion B) Hypomanic Episodes should not be confused with the several days of euthymia that may follow remission of a Major Depressive Episode. The presence of a Manic or Mixed Episode precludes the diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder (Criterion C).

 of major depression is supported by DSM-IV criteria. I have no reason to suspect that her symptoms are caused by a mood disorder like bipolar because she exhibits no manic episodes, nor has she ever.

Bipolar disorder can be severe and long-term or it can be mild with infrequent episodes. People who suffer from this illness may experience symptoms in very different ways and on average will have 8-10 manic or depressive episodes over a lifetime (Simon, 2013). As Kay put it, “manic-depression distorts moods and thoughts, incites dreadful behaviors, destroys the basis of rational thought, and too often erodes the desire and will to live” (Jamison, 1995). Kay experienced very severe symptoms of bipolar disorder, including extremes changes in energy, mood, activity, sleep, behavior, and a suicide attempt, which all can be defining characteristic of the disorder. These symptoms can causes alcohol or substance abuse, relationship problems, and/or difficulty to perform in school or work (Townsend, 2014). However, bipolar disorder can be treated and people with this illness can live a full, productive life. For Kay she was able to control her manic highs and depressive lows with medication and therapy so she could continue her education and career.

Lori Schiller met all of the criterion for a Schizoaffective Disorder, bipolar type, with multiple acute episodes. Her symptoms either appeared during the same two week time period or lasted for longer than two weeks (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 105.), (Schiller and Bennett).

According to “S” she became ill when things between her and her ex-husband started having marital problems. She states “We used to fight a lot and I would call the police because I was afraid of what could happen.” “S” could not recall how many times she has been hospitalized, but she knows it was a lot. According to “S” record she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2013. At the time of her diagnosis “S” expressed behaviors such as "talking rapidly", "bad language (cursing at people)"; feeling angry and aggressive but have no physical altercations at the time. Poor history of medication adherence, which is the primary reason she becomes hospitalized. “S” was hospitalized 7 times since 2013. She was first hospitalized at Runnells 2012-2013, Trinitas twice 2014, Summit

Diagnostic Criteria (from the DSM-5): Excessive anxiety and worry, occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities. The individual finds it difficult to control the worry. For children only one of the following are required:

Jane describes having heightened sense of self-importance, exaggerated positive outlook, significantly decreased need for sleep, increased speech, flight of ideas, impulsiveness, having ideas that move quickly from one subject to the next, poor concentration, has been easily distracted, has had increased activity level, excessive involvement in pleasurable activities, and excessive irritability. I would diagnose this as a manic episode, and along with the feelings of sadness or hopelessness, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, difficulty sleeping, loss of energy and constant lethargy, difficulty concentrating, negative thoughts about the future, weight loss, and beginning to think about suicide; this is a classic case of manic depression. Jane has gone back into a state of depression and continues to worsen. I did ask Jane if this was the first time this had ever happened, and while this was the first manic episode she ever had, she had experienced high levels of energy and irritability but not to the extreme extent that this has gotten to. I also asked if this was the first time she has had a major depressive episode. She told me that it was not her first, but it was the most severe. Jane explained that while she would have periods of sadness, it never became so bad that she wasn't able to get out of bed. I diagnosed this as series of hypomania and minor depressive episodes. If she had caught it earlier, we could have diagnosed it

There is also swelling that causes joint stiffness, brittle nails, thin skin that is cool, and trophic skin changes. It is common for X-rays to show noticeable bone loss and osteoporosis at this stage of CRPS. Stage three, also known as atrophic stage, occurs six to twelve months from the start of symptoms and can last many years. At this stage, pain continues to worsen and spread to other areas of the body. The edema begins to harden and contractures occur. The extremity affected has a decrease in temperature, and there are atrophic skin changes, such as changes to the fingers and toes, that are unchangeable. “X-rays are likely to show demineralization and ankylosis. Throughout each stage of CRPS, some motor disorders may also occur. These

How did you feel about completing the diagnostic assessment? Overall, the intake session established a therapeutic relationship between client, Nan and the therapist, Brent.

High level glycaemia (Hyperglycemia): (fasting blood glucose 7mmol/L or higher) is13.9% respectively, being higher among men. One third of high blood pressure and half with diabetes are unknown of their condition. Screening is defined as the presumptive identification of unrecognized disease or defects by the application of tests, examinations, or other procedures that can be applied rapidly. The qualifier presumptive is included in the definition(11) to emphasize the preliminary nature of screening; diagnostic confirmation is required, usually with the benefit of more thorough clinical examination and additional

Millions of diagnostic tests are performed each year to diagnose patients. Whether it is a CT scan for a patient who suffered from a head injury, an MRI to determine a ligament or tendon tear in the knee or even blood tests to determine diseases. While working in a clinic where diagnostic testing is ordered for multiple patients everyday, I have realized that doctors are very knowledgeable in medicine and patient care is very important to them. Diagnostic testing is crucial in finding problems in the body that cannot be seen on the outside, but doctors are ordering too many unnecessary tests that are affecting patients. In addition, the cost of diagnostic
