University Clinical Case Vignettes: Bipolar Disorder and Mental Health

This assignment presents five clinical case vignettes, each describing individuals exhibiting symptoms of various mental health conditions, with a particular focus on Bipolar Disorder. The vignettes detail the patients' age, gender, presenting symptoms, and relevant history, including family medical history and potential triggers. Each case is analyzed in relation to DSM-5 criteria, with consideration given to coding, medical concerns, and client information. The assignment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the diagnostic process, symptom presentation, and potential contributing factors associated with the identified mental health conditions. The cases cover a range of scenarios including a young man exhibiting aggressive behavior and telepathic delusions, an adult experiencing sleep disturbances and concentration difficulties, a woman with suicidal tendencies and alcohol addiction, a young woman struggling with depression and academic difficulties, and a man experiencing mood swings and behavioral changes following a road accident and job loss.
