Arriving at an accurate diagnosis is a required component of the client assessment. For this assignment, you will read an abbreviated case example, review the DsM-5 criteria, and use a worksheet derived from the DsM-5 to arrive at a diagnosis.
Keep in mind that the diagnosis includes severity: mild, moderate, or severe fireflected in the correct IcD-10-CM diagnostic code)
In this discussion, you will work in a small group to compare your diagnoses and especially the evidence each of you cites.

To make the quick links reappear, click the bulleted list icon at the top left of the screen. 3. Download and complete the DSM-5 Worksheet Word Document and arrive at a diagnosis, including the correct ICD-10-CM diagnostic code. You will also be using this worksheet to identify Joe Smith's diagnosis for your final project. 4. Create an initial post in the discussion, indicating your diagnosis and attaching your completed worksheet. Note that you will be graded individually and not as a group
5. Review your peers' responses and compare them with yours
6. Post additional messages/responses, indicating areas of agreement and disagreement. Your responses should be addressed to everyone in the group, not a specific member. Support your position or indicate any changes you would make based on evidence provided by the others. Your goal is to arrive at a consensus. 7. Create a final post stating your final diagnosis, ICD-10-CM code, and whether your group came to a consensus. If consensus was not accomplished, explain why. Note that agreement or disagreement will not affect your grade.
