Notes To Self
Client confidentiality can be an issue when working with minors. Parents can technically know
everything.. but its encouraged they don't to help kid feel comfortable with you. This is
something to be made aware of
------
Recommend referral to an physician INDICATED The choice and dosage of medication can be
made only by a qualified physician. OH SHIT. I SAID NAH BECAUSE SHE WAS IN GOOD
HEALTH BUT MAKES SENSE. NEEDED PSYCH MEDS
-------
What might be posttreatment recommendations? Create routines such as a bedtime routine
RECOMMENDED A bedtime routine where a parent reads to the child is a great opportunity for
bonding. Routines are important for children, and a routine that involves quality time with the
client and a parent is essential for Kaleigh. SHE HAS REACTIVE ATTACHMENT. I DID NOT
KNOW THIS WOULD COUNT AS BONDING THO. - ✔️✔️If you see mentions of sex,
shopping, or pornography addiction, remember that there is no DSM-5 diagnosis for these issues.
Think about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, a V-code/Z-code, or consider whether the behavior
may be related to a manic episode.

Doug's mother's assessment of his abilities ASSESSED Doug's mother reports that he makes
complex inventions with construction toys and successfully wins at handheld video games. She

FACITIOUS...BUT BUT BUT STILL GOOD TO KNOW BECAUSE THAT CAN INDICATE
IF SHE IS MAKING SOMETHING UP

DD For Denationalization / Derealization disorder + Why?? (6) ALWAYS PERRY SEEING
SHIT OUTSIDE SELF - ✔️✔️-MDD: Feelings of numbness, deadness, apathy, and being in a
dream can often be part of a major depressive episode. However, if the
depersonalization/derealization either precedes the onset of a major depressive episode or
continues after the major depressive episode is resolved, then the diagnosis of
Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder is appropriate.
-Panic Disorder: Depersonalization/derealization is one of the symptoms that may occur during a
panic attack, particularly as the severity increases. As such, Depersonalization/Derealization
Disorder should not be diagnosed when the symptoms are the result of a panic attack that meets
the criteria for the diagnosis of Panic Disorder.
-Social Anxiety Disorder: Depersonalization/derealization is one of the symptoms that may occur
during a panic attack, particularly as the severity increases. As such,
Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder should not be diagnosed when the symptoms only
occur during panic attacks associated with the fear of social situations as in Social Anxiety
Disorder.
-Specific Phobia: Depersonalization/derealization is one of the symptoms that may occur during
a panic attack, particularly as the severity increases. As such, Depersonalization/Derealization
Disorder should not be diagnosed when the symptoms only occur during panic attacks associated
with the fear of an object or situation as in Specific Phobia.
-Other Specified Mental Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition: differentiating factor in
this case is that the dissociative symptoms are due to the direct physiological effects of a general
medical condition.
-Substance Intoxication: Substance Intoxication may be characterized by dissociative symptoms
along with the other symptoms of Substance Intoxication such as impaired motor coordination,
euphoria, anxiety, and impaired judgement.

depression, excessive spending, impulsivity, binge drinking, and severe rages, this is the BEST
answer. Further, her excessive use of alcohol (binge drinking) points to an unspecified alcohol
