THE CASE OF VALENTINA Discussion: Diagnosis of Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Social workers take particular care when diagnosing anxiety due to its similarity to other conditions. In this Discussion, you carefully assess a client with anxiety disorder using the steps of differential diagnosis. You also recommend an intervention for treating the disorder. To prepare: Read the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion THE CASE OF VALENTINA. Review the decision trees for anxiety and OCD in the Morrison (2014) text and the podcasts on anxiety. Then access the Walden Library and research interventions for anxiety. By Day 3 Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following: Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months. Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis. Discuss other disorders you considered for this diagnosis and eliminated (the differential diagnoses). Describe an evidence-based assessment scale that would assist in ongoing validation of your diagnosis. Recommend a specific intervention and explain why this intervention may be effective in treating the client. Support your recommendation with scholarly references and resources. Note: You do not need to include an APA reference to the DSM-5 in your response. However, your response should clearly be informed by the DSM-5, demonstrating an understanding of the risks and benefits of treatment to the client. You do need to include an APA reference for the assessment tool and any other resources you use to support your response. By Day 6 Respond to at least two colleagues who identified a different diagnosis or intervention in the following ways: Explain whether you agree with your colleague’s identified diagnosis and recommended treatment and why. Explain any additional factors that your colleague should take into consideration for treatment planning. Note: You are required to create a thread for your initial Discussion post before you will be able to view other colleagues’ postings in this forum. If you have not yet visited the weekly resources and assignments, you should visit that area now to access the complete set of directions and guidelines for this discussion.
