ASSIGNMENT 2: CASE STUDY—TIMOTHY
Imagine that you are a psychologist at a local mental health center. Meet Timothy, a fictitious client
who is visiting a psychologist for the first time. During his visit, Timothy shares a series of symptoms
and experiences that are having a negative impact on his daily life.
For this Assignment, you will evaluate Timothy's case file, engage with artificial intelligence (AI), and
apply your knowledge of assessment and the DSM-5 criteria to consider the diagnosis that may be
the best fit. You also will examine effective treatment options to support Timothy's mental health and
well-being.

Identify and explain two additional pieces of information that you would want to obtain in the
clinical interview and/or through testing to further support your diagnosis and explain how
they would affect your assessment.
Identify and explain the treatment option you think would work best for Timothy based on
his clinical presentation.

maintain work, ruptured family relationships) and explain a strategy that could be used to
address each.

ASSIGNMENT 2: CASE STUDY—TIMOTHY
Imagine that you are a psychologist at a local mental health center. Meet Timothy, a fictitious client
who is visiting a psychologist for the first time. During his visit, Timothy shares a series of symptoms
and experiences that are having a negative impact on his daily life.
For this Assignment, you will evaluate Timothy's case file, engage with artificial intelligence (AI), and
apply your knowledge of assessment and the DSM-5 criteria to consider the diagnosis that may be
the best fit. You also will examine effective treatment options to support Timothy's mental health and
well-being.

ASSIGNMENT 2: CASE STUDY—TIMOTHY
Imagine that you are a psychologist at a local mental health center. Meet Timothy, a fictitious client
who is visiting a psychologist for the first time. During his visit, Timothy shares a series of symptoms
and experiences that are having a negative impact on his daily life.
For this Assignment, you will evaluate Timothy's case file, engage with artificial intelligence (AI), and
apply your knowledge of assessment and the DSM-5 criteria to consider the diagnosis that may be
the best fit. You also will examine effective treatment options to support Timothy's mental health and
well-being.
