Create a case
Choose one of the psychological disorders discussed in the course resources (i.e., generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc.) and create a fictitious case study of someone who exhibits the behaviors of this disorder.
Academic case studies typically focus on a single individual or small group of people, providing specific and detailed information about the person and chosen topic. Your case study for this assignment should include the following:
- A fictitious person that is the focus of your case study
- A description of this fictitious person
- Specific behaviors related to the chosen psychological disorder
- Background information to give context of these behaviors
- Information on how the person may be affected by the chosen psychological disorder
Use at least 4-5 sentences to answer each bullet point.
Here is an example of how you might get started creating a case study about a person who suffers from claustrophobia. You will need to elaborate on the assignment to fully address the instruction components and rubric, but this can help to get you started: Case Study Draft.Links to an external site.
