It is estimated that more almost 7% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Institute of Mental Health, 2017). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to behavioral issues, adolescent substance abuse issues, and even physical ailments. For this Assignment, you examine a PTSD video case study and consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.
Assignment: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
It is estimated that more almost 7% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Institute of Mental Health, 2017). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to behavioral issues, adolescent substance abuse issues, and even physical ailments. For this Assignment, you examine a PTSD video case study and consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.
To prepare:
· Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide about diagnosing and treating PTSD.
· View the media Presentation Example: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and assess the client in the case study.
· For guidance on assessing the client, refer to Chapter 3 of the Wheeler text.
Note:
To complete this Assignment, you must assess the client, but you are not required to submit a formal comprehensive client assessment.
The Assignment
Succinctly, in 1–2 pages, address the following:
· Briefly explain the neurobiological basis for PTSD illness.
· Discuss the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD and relate these criteria to the symptomology presented in the case study. Does the video case presentation provide sufficient information to derive a PTSD diagnosis? Justify your reasoning. Do you agree with the other diagnoses in the case presentation? Why or why not?
· Discuss one other psychotherapy treatment option for the client in this case study. Explain whether your treatment option is considered a “gold standard treatment” from a clinical practice guideline perspective, and why using gold standard, evidence-based treatments from clinical practice guidelines is important for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners.
·
Support your Assignment with specific examples from this week’s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
Transcript for Presentation Example: Posttraumatic disorder (PTSD) and video Link Below
welcome to my scientifically informed
insider look at mental health topics if
you find this video to be interesting or
helpful please like it and subscribe to
my channel oh this is dr. Grande today’s
question is can I analyze a presentation
example for post-traumatic stress
disorder
specifically, can I look at an example
where the trauma did not seem to be
congruent with the development of the
disorder so another way of putting that
is the trauma didn’t really seem that
severe when it happened yet it’s still
led to post-traumatic stress disorder so
when I use the term presentation example
what I’m talking about is a situation
where a mental health therapist like a
counselor wants to take the information
from a client’s case from a client’s
presentation and produce a report from
that so this is also called a
presentation analysis case analysis or a
case study after the clinician obtains
consent they produce this report but
they change a lot of the identifying
information not only the client’s name
but a lot of other information but the
idea here is that the clinical essence
of the case remains unchanged so we can
learn something from it as clinicians
and as people that are not clinicians
but we still don’t know who it is right
doesn’t have identifying information
about the client typically these are
used in training other types of
education conferences and sometimes
these case reports are published the
presentation example I’m using here did
come from a published study and I’ll put
the reference to this article in the
description for this video this is an
interesting presentation example it’s of
an eight-year-old boy I’ll call him Joe
this takes place in the United Kingdom
this is a good example of how a
traumatic event might not seem severe
but how it’s the interpretation that can
lead to post-traumatic stress disorder
it’s also a good example of how trauma
focused cognitive therapy can be used to
treat post-traumatic stress disorder one
of the mysteries of post-traumatic
stress disorder is why does it tend to
form in some people who have relatively
minor of
massacre when it might not form and
other people have really serious events
occur right so for example a severe
motor vehicle accident compared to a
minor motor vehicle accident and that’s
what we’re talking about here in this
case a minor motor vehicle accident well
we learn here of course is it’s not just
