This Mental Health and Wellness (MHW) curriculum is not intended for you to learn how to diagnose clients, rather to be familiar with the various mental disorders that can impact one’s life. In reviewing the article by Cherry related to an overview of the DSM5, please select one disorder you are interested in (ideally, one that hasn’t been discussed by another student yet) and provide your classmates with a practical overview of the disorder (to include associated adjustment and family problems, behavioral problems, and target characteristics, and stressors or trauma that may impact the diagnosis). Please include at least one additional reputable source that you used to describe your disorder.
