attached. Each case requires the following information to be addressed:
Describe presenting concerns and relevant history.

appropriate for consideration (differential diagnoses) for a final diagnosis. Evaluate how at least one
assessment tool, which is listed in the List of Assessment Tools resource, will aid in obtaining further
information to back up your final diagnosis. The Differential Diagnosis Decision Tree may be helpful to
guide this process.
Present DSM-5 and ICD-10 codes including relevant Z codes. Assume that the client has presented for
treatment with their partner or parents.
Provide a descriptive rationale for the DSM diagnosis that best fits the information provided, including
relevant ICD codes. This should be written in a narrative form using complete sentences. Support your
rationale with scholarly sources.
Describe indications or contraindications that help determine whether a medication consultation is
