Review the Case Study of Marvin. Using the medical illness you choose to write about in this unit’s first discussion, respond to the following:
How would this specific medical condition or illness be likely to impact or interact with Marvin’s described anxiety symptoms and obsessive-compulsive
symptoms?
How would you sort out (understand) the differential impacts of the two conditions (obsessive-compulsive disorder, as opposed to the medical condition you chose)?
Would you still make a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder if you found that Marvin also suffered from this disorder?
How do you differentiate Marvin’s obsessive-compulsive symptoms between the related diagnoses of:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
