Several types of anxiety disorders are discussed in this film. General anxiety disorder is described as a constant feeling of worry and fear for at least six months. A person suffering from general anxiety may experience panic attacks, cold sweats, heavy breathing, and may withdraw from social interactions. It is regularly treated with medications and cognitive behavior therapy, which is a psychotherapy that focuses on helping patients understand the feelings they are experiencing and how those feelings may be contributing to their issue. Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is another anxiety disorder discussed in this film. People develop PTSD after experiencing an emotional shock or major trauma. Someone with PTSD may have issues sleeping and controlling their anger; they may experience feelings of detachment, numbness, and may have flashbacks of the traumatic experience causing their PTSD. Like general anxiety disorder, PTSD patients are often treated with medication and cognitive behavior therapy. Recently a new therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, has been used in PTSD patients. This therapy requires the patient to rapidly move their eyes while recalling the traumatic experience. The third type of anxiety disorder discussed in this film is obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. OCD is described

If my supervisor told me that she thinks the patient I chose was misdiagnosed and that the problem is something else entirely, I would defend my diagnosis using this case study. Paula presents herself as a woman who “get(s) dizzy” with “chest pains…short of breath” as well as she “feel(s) like (she’s) dying and the world is ending” (Getzfeld, 2004)1. When she visits the emergency room, the doctors tell her the cause is not physical – therefore they must be psychological. Key symptoms of panic attacks include heart attack-like symptoms, as well as raised heart rate, sweating, and dizziness, all of which Paula experienced. Another key of diagnosing panic disorder (PD) is that a lot of random panic attacks occur and these attacks bring on at least 1 month of fear that more attacks will occur which Paula experienced. PD involves avoiding situations due to the fear of a difficult escape should a panic attack occur and that they will be embarrassed; Paula had said she did not go to work as

Intrigued, I go home and research the symptoms and I come up with one word: Pica. But what exactly is Pica? Pica is a very rare disorders with an interesting history, where signs and symptoms help diagnosis the treatments for it.

Taking 4-5 actual experiences when the client experienced a panic attack and chart the specifics of each episode using the BASIC ID method. BASIC ID identifies how the panic unfolds for a individual focusing on B-Behaviors, A-Affect/emotions, S-physical sensations, I-Imagery, C-Cognitions, I=Interpersonal relations, and D-Drugs & Biological factors. Once situational analysis is completed using BASIC ID, a counselor should be able to identify the “Firing Order”/chain of symptoms which seem to patterns in the client’s panic attacks.

After reviewing notes of Mrs. Hudson and communicating with her through the assessment, I have concluded a diagnosis of Axis I, adjustment disorder with depressed mood. She explains her symptoms of heart racing, shortness of breath, sweating palms, and tightness in chest when she is in public.

Reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" is more than just reading a book about race and injustice. This book is a complex, rich exploration of the risk associated with conforming to gender stereotypes, how poverty and class can limit our abilities to achieve the American dream, and how racism damages both those that peritrate it and those that endure it, and the vital importance of expressing our voices by speaking out against injustice WHEREVER we encounter it. And while it certainly is not the only book about race and injustice, it was one of the FIRST books about race and injustice that inspired people to change their behaviors.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is considered an autonomic disorder, that affects between 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 people worldwide (Dysautonomia International, ). “Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), is an autonomic disorder characterized by an exaggerated increase in heart rate that occurs during standing, without orthostatic hypotension” (Thanavaro, 2011).

Those women who had history of various physical disorders and were anxious about their health tended to develop panic disorder rather than another anxiety disorder such as social phobia (Rudaz, Craske, Becker, Ledermann, & Margraf, 2010). Thus, these woman may have learned in childhood that unexpected bodily sensations may be dangerous—whereas other people experiencing panic attacks do not. This tendency to believe that unexpected bodily sensations are dangerous reflects a specific psychological vulnerability to develop panic and related disorders. Approximately 8% to 12% of the population has an occasional unexpected panic attack, often during a period of intense stress over the previous year (Norton, Harrison, Hauch, & Rhodes 1985). Most of these people do not develop anxiety (Telch at al., 1989). Only approximately 5% go on to develop anxiety over future panic attacks and thereby meet the criteria for panic disorder, and these individuals are the ones who are susceptible to developing anxiety over the possibility of having another panic attack (a general psychological
