Topic:Psychological Disorders and Treatment

For this activity, you are going to test out your abilities as a clinical psychologist. You will attempt to detect and diagnose a mental illness (or multiple perhaps) for one fictitious individual from a book, movie, or TV show.

1. Character / "patient" name & the book/show/movie/play that he/she comes from
2. Basic description of relevant observable behaviors
3. Relevant internal thoughts gained through narration, etc (if any)
4. Diagnosis/diagnoses
5. DSM-5 description of condition(s) (see book, slides, & internet)
6. Connect the DSM-5 criteria and symptoms for the diagnosed condition(s) to your responses from questions 2 and 3. Make a compelling argument that this person should be diagnosed with this disorder.

You can re-order the items above in your response. Just make sure you hit all these main points. There are many ways to answer these questions, and I want you to try to apply these things to your life whenever possible. It will help make the paper more interesting and help you remember the content.
