Psychiatric Diagnosis
The psychiatric diagnosis is done to establish the mental and behavioral changes of an
individual (Chung & Hyland, 2012). If the diagnosis is done properly it will be possible to
identify the exact psychiatric disorder one is suffering in order to offer proper medication or
psychological help to help the victim heal. This assignment will focus on the Case study of
Suzanne, who seems to be suffering from a psychiatric disorder after a break up with her
boyfriend. In the case study, Suzanne was extremely in love with her boyfriend, who in all
probability did not reciprocate the love. When a break up came, Suzanne suffered
psychologically, and her condition based on the case study is an issue of interest in psychiatry.
Psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation
One of the concepts presented by the patient is behavior. According to Suzanne, she
could pull out her eyelashes and that relaxed her when she was tense (Gorenstein & Comer,
2015). This kind of behavior is a concept of interest to the psychiatrist, who may want to uncover
the strangeness in the behavior of Suzanne. As a psychiatrist, it could be important to analyze
this unusual behavior of Suzanne to be able to help establish the necessary treatment for her.
Stress is another concept that intrigues, a psychiatrist, and it can help understand further
psychological issues a patient is suffering. In this case study, Suzanne is talking about the

with a person of opposite sex. The personality of an individual is essential to understanding the
mental health of an individual. As a psychologist, examining the behavior of a patient can give
some facts or information that can then be used to understand their psychiatric problem, in order
to establish the right medical intervention.
Symptoms and Behaviors exhibited by the patient
In this case, the patient exhibits the behavior of nervousness and plucking out eyelashes
to relieve some tension. This behavior is weird and clearly demonstrates that the patient is sicko,
because a normal person cannot do that. Also, another behavior is that the patient does not get
along with people and is introverted in most of her interactions. Suzanne admits not to get along
with people; this gives an insight into psychological problems.
Insomnia, half sleep, and worries are some of the behaviors and at the same time
symptoms giving some understanding of the psychological problem the character of this case
study is facing. A person is likely to have insomniac nights if they are not psychologically
peaceful. It is clear that the psychological disturbance could be the cause for sleepless nights by
Suzanne. In addition, Suzanne admits that she experiences a headache, and tenses up until she
plucks up her eyelashes, which at all odds is weird and psychotic. In addition, the pulling out of
hair is another behavior that Suzanne exhibited after a break ...
