What is your treatment plan? Nothing extensive here but it has to make sense.
The methods and strategies you would use in order to perform the initial
assessment. In other words, I want to know how you arrived to the diagnosis
and what processes you used.
2. Which diagnoses would you consider? You should have a primary diagnosis,
but perhaps there may be other possible diagnoses you may want to rule/out
or consider.
3. What is your case formulation? That is more comprehensive than just the
diagnosis. For example let’s say you are considering ‘Major Depression” as a
Diagnosis. Your case formulation may be something like this: “this patient has
suffered significant recent loses in his life, and in the context of possible
biological vulnerabilities (ie; history of maternal depression) and limited
psychological resources he has developed a depressive condition”.
4. What is your treatment plan? Nothing extensive here but it has to make sense.
Don’t just put things in there to make sure you cover all bases. Not all patients
need MRIs!
5. What else would you have liked to know about this patient, which was not
given to you in the case scenario, and you think it may have been very useful
in order to reach a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan? For example, the
patient with depression has complained primarily of fatigue, mild dizziness
and difficulties concentrating. Perhaps you may want to rule out a medical
condition (anemia) and you may want to have this patient be medically
evaluated.
