Mock Assessment Final Draft, writing homework help
**This assignment is basically revising previous mock assessment but the teacher has included her feedback regarding the revisions that need to be made, here is her feedback: “Good work overall on this assignment! You have a strong start so just take a look at the feedback and make any necessary adjustments. Thank you for remember the referral questions on the separate paper but the interview questions seem to be missing. By “separate” it needs to be on a separate page (like an appendix) but not in a separate report. The main issue here is realizing the need to differentiate between substance abuse and psychotic or mood disorders as the two can mimic each other. There is consequently the need to consider both. It could be either one, or it can be both as those with major mental illness often try to medicate themselves with substance abuse. All of this needs to be reflected in the multiaxial system since it was requested for this assignment. Note the DSM-5 doesn’t use this system, however. You can’t really have a clear psychiatric diagnosis until the substance abuse issue clears so if the person isn’t suicidal then that is the first line of business. I would make that a priority and then the accurate dx will be more apparent. Good job on a tough case”.
