She is no stranger to therapy, having seen counselors for most of her teen and adult years. Her friends would describe her as a \u201cwild woman\u201d who takes no crap from anyone. She has held various part-time jobs for the last few years because she usually gets angry at her boss or coworkers and quits. While she has had a string of boyfriends over the years, she has been seeing one man for the last year or so. He too is unemployed and has both an alcohol and methamphetamine problem. She describes the relationship as \u201caddictive and dysfunctional, yet exciting and hot.\u201d Wendy is back in treatment at the urging of her parents, who describe her behavior as erratic and unpredictable. They also claim that she has periods where she \u201csleeps little and parties lots.\u201d There were also several occasions in the last five years when she was so depressed she didn\u2019t eat or want to leave the house. Her father also admits to periods of depression, and Trisha\u2019s grandfather was diagnosed with manic depression, resulting in numerous hospitalizations in the 1950s and 1960s. Wendy\u2019s only brother died in a car accident several years ago. He was drunk at the time, but she claims he had a long history of depression. Recently Trisha was arrested for disorderly conduct at a friend\u2019s party. She had not slept for nearly 24 hours and was drunk and combative. When she was first approached by police, she solicited them for sex. They report that she was rather hyperverbal and hyperactive. They later had to investigate a complaint from local storeowners for bad checks she wrote in excess of $7,000.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Summarize the clinical case.<\/li>\n<li>Create a list of the patient\u2019s problems and prioritize them.<\/li>\n<li>Which diagnosis should be considered<\/li>\n<li>What is your rationale for the diagnosis<\/li>\n<li>What differential diagnosis should be considered<\/li>\n<li>What test or screening tools should be considered to help identify the correct diagnosis<\/li>\n<li>What treatment would you prescribe and what is the rationale (consider psychopharmacology, diagnostics tests, referrals, psychotherapy, psychoeducation)<\/li>\n<li>What standard guidelines would you use to assess or treat this patient<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the student\u2019s position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Mood Stabilizing AgentsInstructions:&nbsp;Case Discussion on Bipolar Disorder:Wendy is a 30-year-old, unemployed white female.
