Description
This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder.
The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers.
The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following:
- Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study.
- Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in a diagnostic manual.
- Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the diagnostic manual.
- Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the diagnostic manual.
- Justify the use of the chosen diagnostic manual (i.e., Why was this manual chosen over others?).
- Summarize general views of the diagnosis from multiple theoretical orientations and historical perspectives. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder.
- Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis.
- Use at least two peer-reviewed articles to assess the validity of this diagnosis, and describe who is most likely to have the diagnosis with regard to age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Provide a brief evaluation of the scientific merit of these peer-reviewed sources in the validity assessment.
- Summarize the risk factors (i.e., biological, psychological, and/or social) for the diagnosis. If one of the categories is not relevant, address this within the summary.
- Compare evidence-based and non-evidence-based treatment options for the diagnosis.
- Evaluate well-established treatments for the diagnosis, and describe the likelihood of success or possible outcomes for each treatment.
- Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed references published within the last ten years to inform the diagnosis and treatment recommendations. In the annotated bibliography, write a two- to three-sentence evaluation of the scientific merit of each of these references.

This article talks about the assessment of trichotillomania disorder. Jones and other authors
have published numerous works in the scientific journal elaborating more about mental
disorders. Trichotillomania is said to be a related psychological behavior that involves
pulling out of hair from different body parts. Jones et al., categorizes this behavior as
traumatic. Their suggested treatment is psychiatrist’s intervention and use of cognitive
behavioral strategies to manage the situation. This source will be used in this research to
provide information on trichotillomania symptoms and how to control the condition.

Krooks et al., (2018) discusses more about the diagnosis and treatment of trichotillomania
in their article. The authors elaborate more about psychiatric intervention and its
importance in treating trichotillomania disorder. The source also has information about the
presentation and identification of signs and symptoms encountered by patients. Its
scientific importance in this research is to provide information about trichotillomania
diagnosis and treatment at the clinic.

trichotillomania with pica, encopresis, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a sixyear-old girl. Sri Lanka Journal of Child Health, 46(1).
This article is a case study of a six years old girl who was diagnosed with trichotillomania
and pica as an additional mental disorder. It offers a scientific explanation of how
trichotillomania should be treated and controlled using cognitive behavioral strategies. The
academic source published in the journal of child health will provide useful information to
the research regarding trichotillomania disorder encountered by children and how to handle
such patients.

This is a study conducted by Leppink et al., (2017) with the aim of discovering the impact
of inositol in trichotillomania. From this study, it is clear that medical treatment is not of
significance as much without therapeutic supplement. The scientific contribution of this
article in the research is to offer facts of how trichotillomania reacts to various medicines
used as a form of treatment.
