Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.
Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

Case study video interview :BEGIN TRANSCRIPT: OFF CAMERA Your roommates, Rachel and Liz, shared some information with me. They said that you were fine, and that shortly after your aunt died, that you started acting in a different sort of strange way. Started having thoughts and hearing things that others couldn’t hear. JESS They think I’m living in a movie. Rachel and Liz. That’s who they think I am. I see a lot of movies. So maybe they’re right. Maybe I am a movie 00:00:45
OFF CAMERA I’m not sure I understand how you can be a movie. 00:00:45
JESS Because they listen to our apartment. 00:00:50
[Whispers] JESS They listen from next door. 00:00:50
OFF CAMERA Who listens? 00:00:55
JESS Russian men and whores. They drill all night long. That’s how they send their information back. Drilling. 00:01:05
OFF CAMERA Drilling. They send messages by drilling? 00:01:10
JESS Doesn’t surprise me. Most people don’t understand. 00:01:15
OFF CAMERA Your roommates said that your favorite aunt that died, she’s the one who raised you. 00:01:20
JESS Maybe she did. Maybe she didn’t. Who told you? Can you prove it? I can’t. 00:01:30
OFF CAMERA Liz and Rachel told me. 00:01:30
JESS Good for them. 00:01:35
OFF CAMERA And your roommates said you had some new neighbors that moved in. Are these the neighbors you’re talking about? 00:01:45
JESS They’re not neighbors. They’re Russians. They don’t answer their door. I tried to banging on their door and they didn’t answer. Figures. I mean they only speak English. They don’t speak English, they speak Russian in code. 00:02:00
OFF CAMERA You know, your roommate, Rachel, told me your new neighbors speak Spanish. They speak Spanish. 00:02:10
JESS They lie. But what do you expect? 00:02:15
OFF CAMERA What do they do? Your neighbors? 00:02:20
JESS I don’t want to talk about this any more. 00:02:25
OFF CAMERA You know, Jess, I imagine what you are experiencing right now feels very frightening. I hear from a lot of the people who, hear voices that maybe aren’t there, that it’s very frightening. And it’s upsetting. Are you experiencing anything like that? 00:02:40
JESS Yes. I hear them talking when no one else can. I mean not Rachel, not Liz. That’s why I went down to my car yesterday. Because if I’m very, very still, the Russians can’t code me. 00:02:55
OFF CAMERA What do you mean code you? 00:03:00
JESS You know. You act like you don’t know, but you know. 00:03:05
OFF CAMERA How long did you stay in your car? 00:03:10
JESS Six hours. I watched them move in and out. 00:03:15
OFF CAMERA So do you sometimes see things that your roommates don’t see?
JESS No. But I know things that they don’t know. 00:03:30
OFF CAMERA Jess, I realize it is difficult sometimes for people to tell me things but it really helps me with their background. Has anything happened recently? Anything traumatic? 00:03:40
JESS I think that secret government papers are traumatic. Like blueprints. I mean, they have blueprints of buildings. My apartment is a building. 00:03:55
OFF CAMERA What are the blueprints? 00:03:55
JESS They’re all over the walls. That’s what they want. 00:04:00
OFF CAMERA The neighbors? 00:04:00
JESS The Russians. They’re terrorists. You’ll find out too late. 00:04:10
JESS I can stop them from seeing them. I covered the walls, I marked up the walls. I just need more markers. 00:04:20
OFF CAMERA Jess, do you drink alcohol or take drugs? 00:04:25
JESS My body is my temple. No. 00:04:30

OFF CAMERA Jess, do you have any thoughts of hurting yourself, or hurting any other people? 00:05:00
