Directions:

Post a response in which you discuss how a social worker should approach the diagnosis. In your analysis, consider the following questions:

  • Identify the symptoms or “red flags” in the case study that may be evaluated for a possible mental health disorder.
  • Should the social worker have shared this suspected diagnosis based on the limited assessment with Ms. Evans at this time?
  • Explain the potential impact of this diagnosis immediately and over time if the “tentative” diagnosis is a misdiagnosis.
  • When may it be appropriate to use a provisional diagnosis?
  • When would you diagnosis as other specified and unspecified disorders?
