Questions: What further information do you need to make a
proper diagnosis/provisional diagnoses? Include questions
you would ask Emily in order to diagnose her properly. This
section may be written in bullet form. For example, “how long
has your depression persisted?” or “Was there any time in
your life that you did not feel depressed?”
Final Diagnosis: Choose only one diagnosis. Include diagnosis
code, name, specifiers, and severity. State why you chose this
diagnosis for Emily. Clearly explain your reasoning. Reminder:
Do not use Axis I, II, III, IV, and V to diagnose (that was the
format for DSM IV-TR and is no longer necessary today).

Conclusion: Provide a summary of your assessment of Emily.
You are not discussing the treatment plan and interventions in this
paper (that is for your Signature Assignment). However, you should
clearly discuss symptoms and other details from the case to come up
with an assessment/evaluation of this client.
Note: You will use this Case Assignment as a foundation for your
Signature Assignment.
