You will write a one-page summary for EACH category. Summaries must include:
Overview – a brief overview of the general category. What are the similar symptoms that all the disorders in the category share.
Disorders –List each disorder in the category and highlight at least one symptom that makes this disorder different than all the other disorders in this category (example: in the Depressive disorders all the disorders are characterized by feelings of sadness. Highlight what makes each diagnosis different: time frames, severity, types of symptoms, etc.)
Risk and Prognostic Factors – choose one disorder that you are particularly interested in and provide a brief summary of the risk and prognostic factors. Include what category the risk factors fall into: biological, psychological, social or spiritual.
You will organize each summary by using the current edition of APA headings. Start each summary with the category title using a Level 1 APA heading. Overview, Disorders and Risk /Prognostic factors should be level 2 headings.
You will include an APA title page and reference page.
As this is primarily a summary of the DSM, you may start your paper with the statement “All of the following information was taken from the Diagnostic and Static Manual 5th Edition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) unless otherwise noted.” If you use other sources, you will need to cite and reference them.
This assignment must be a paraphrase of the information you find in the DSM 5 or your textbook. You may not use any quotations.
