Let's see if we can diagnose Esther. Below are links to websites about depression and personality disorders. Read about the disorders and take a look at the symptoms. Then, try to figure out which, if any, category Esther belongs in. To make this process more efficient, we will divide into groups. Everyone will look at depression. When we get to personality disorders, group 1 will look at Cluster A, group 2 will look at Cluster B, and group 3 will look at Cluster C.

Ok, now that we've diagnosed Esther, let's decide how to treat her. We know that Dr. Gordon prescribes shock therapy for Esther. How would Esther be treated today?

Esther most likely is depressed-
ReplyDeleteempty mood
restlessness
insomnia/sleeping to little
hopelessness
loss of appetite
thoughts of death or suicide
difficultly concentrating
Esther seems like she might have Schizoid Personality, because she always seems to be alone and distanced from everyone else.
GROUP 1- Sam, Miranda, Ben & Princess Kristine (Kristina)
*Kristina* not princess kristine sam!
ReplyDeleteStevie, Ashley, Morgan, Catie (cluster c)
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely depressed, but she doesn't show all of the symptoms. Esther shows signs of avoidant personality disorder, but nothing else in cluster c.
