Mental Disorders

Choose one of the mental disorders you learned about in this module. Think of a fictional character who you think might fit, at least to some extent, that type of disorder. Consider cartoon characters, Disney princesses, favorite sitcom characters, etc.

Step 2: Research.

Research the disorder along with appropriate treatment methods to write up a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Conduct research about the disorder and treatment methods to write up a diagnosis and treatment plan. It is recommended that you conduct research through our Online Library or use a scholarly internet search. Wikipedia is not allowed and you will need to include at least two different credible sources; do not rely on the same website for all your information.

Step 3. Write and Reflect.

In a 2-4 page paper, explain which disorder the character may have, describe the disorder, then provide at least three evidence examples of how or why that character meets the description of the mental illness. Identify treatment methods that are available for this disorder and develop a treatment plan for this character.

Step 4. Submit Your Assignment.

Your assignment should be in a Word document, written in APA format (12-point font, double spaced), and supported by research and in-text citations.

When you have completed the assignment, select the “Submit Assignment” button at the top of these instructions, and choose a format for submitting your assignment.
