Case Study 2 – Provide the correct numeric code, diagnosis,…

Case Study 2 – Provide the correct numeric code, diagnosis, and any specifiers Brandon was a 12-year-old boy brought in by his mother for psychiatric evaluation for temper tantrums that seemed to be contributing to declining school performance. The mother became emotional as she reported that things had always been difficult but had become worse after Brandon entered middle school. Shortly after starting middle school, Brandon had started complaining of stomachaches on school-day mornings and was often reluctant to go to school. * Brandon’s sixth-grade teachers reported that he was academically capable but that he had little ability to make friends. He seemed to mistrust the intentions of classmates who tried to be nice to him but attempted to befriend others who laughingly feigned interest in the toy cars and trucks that he brought to school. The teachers noted that he often cried and rarely spoke in class. In recent months, multiple teachers had heard him screaming at other boys, generally in the hallway but sometimes in the middle of class. The teachers had not identified a cause but generally had not disciplined Brandon because they assumed he was responding to provocation. He was embarrassed about these outbursts and did not want to go to swim practice because he did not want his swim friends to ask why he’d had an outburst at school. * When interviewed alone, Brandon responded with non-spontaneous mumbles when asked questions about school, classmates, and his family. When the examiner asked if he was interested in toy cars, however, Brandon lit up. He pulled several cars, trucks, and airplanes from his backpack and, while not making good eye contact, did talk at length about vehicles, using their apparently accurate names (e.g., front-end loader, B-52, Jaguar). When asked again about school, Brandon pulled out his cell phone and showed a string of text messages: “dumbo!!!!” “mr stutter”; “LoSeR”; “freak!”; “EVERYBODY HATES YOU.” While the examiner read the long string of texts that Brandon had saved but apparently not previously revealed, Brandon added that other boys would whisper “bad words” to him in class and then scream in his ears in the hall. “And I hate loud noises.” He also told the examiner that he sometimes wished that he had never been born. * Developmentally, Brandon spoke his first word at age 11 months and began to use short sentences by age 3. He had always been very focused on trucks, cars, and trains. According to his mother, he had always been “very shy” and had never had a best friend. As he has gotten older, it has become more apparent that he struggles with jokes and typical young adolescent banter because “he takes things so literally.” Brandon’s mother had long seen this behavior as “a little odd” but added that it was not much different from that of Brandon’s father, a successful attorney, who had similarly focused interests. Both of them were “sticklers for routine” who “lacked a sense of humor.” Brandon’s mother noted that he made efforts to conceal his interest in trucks, cars, and trains outside of the home but would eagerly speak about them when encouraged. Brandon has shared with his mother that he tries to appear “normal” when interacting with peers at school, which is exhausting. He often feels nervous around peers and generally tries to avoid socializing. * On examination, Brandon was shy and generally non-spontaneous. He made below-average eye contact. His speech was coherent and goal directed. At times, Brandon stumbled over his words, paused excessively, and sometimes rapidly repeated words or parts of words. Brandon said he felt okay but added that he was scared of school, particularly when around other children. He appeared sad, brightening only when discussing his toy cars. He denied current suicidal thoughts or plans as well as homicidality. He denied psychotic symptoms. He was cognitively intact. * In the first blank, enter the correct numeric code for the disorder. In the second blank, enter the correct disorder name. In the third blank, enter all appropriate specifiers. [dsmcode] [dsmdiagnosis] [allappropriatespecifiers]

He exhibits a lack of social boundaries, approaching unfamiliar adults without hesitation and displaying indiscriminate friendliness even in unfamiliar settings. Alex’s behavior raises concerns among caregivers and professionals regarding his safety and well-being. These symptoms have been present for the past 18 months. *Alex’s caregivers express concern about his lack of stranger danger awareness and tendency to engage in inappropriate interactions with unfamiliar individuals. They describe instances where Alex has approached strangers in public places, initiated physical contact without permission, or divulged personal information to unfamiliar adults. Despite their efforts to educate and protect Alex, his behavior persists, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how best to support him. *During the assessment, Alex demonstrates a lack of hesitation or wariness in approaching unfamiliar adults, even in settings where caution would typically be warranted. He displays an eagerness to make new friends and seek attention from others, regardless of their relationship to him or the context of the interaction. Despite caregivers’ attempts to set limits and educate Alex about appropriate social boundaries, he struggles to internalize these concepts and continues to engage in this behavior. * In the first blank, enter the correct numeric code for the disorder. In the second blank, enter the correct disorder name. In the third blank, enter all appropriate specifiers. [dsmcode] [dsmdiagnosis] [allappropriatespecifiers]

Pablo recently purchased a newly constructed 12-unit residential apartment building in Boston and lived in one of the units.  His recent purchase also includes the land next door, which includes a historic house (the birthplace of Paul Revere), along with a large garden.  Pablo acquired the land with the historic house through an assignment from Walter, who already had a 5-year lease with Darian.  The lease specifically provided that the lessee (Darian) could live on the property, if he gave tours of the historic house and kept up the gardens.  The lease also stated that no structural modifications could be made to the historic house.  Furthermore, there was a provision that stated the owner of the building had to give the lessee a minimum of 24-hour notice before entering the property.  This Paul Revere house was the only historic house in Boston that had an expansive garden that the public could enjoy. Soon after they signed their rental leases, the new tenants in Pablo’s apartment building quickly started complaining to him about the loud non-stop noise that was coming from the historic house, even up until 9:00 p.m.  One day, Pablo decided to investigate for himself.  It was a Saturday afternoon, and he walked into the historic house and peeked through the kitchen window towards the garden.  He saw that there was a stage at the end of the gardens in a gazebo where there were three people playing musical instruments.  A woman was playing the violin, another woman was playing the flute, and a man was playing the bass.  Pablo quickly left the historic house and went back to the apartment building and did a quick online search of Boston’s building code.  As soon as he discovered it was a violation of the building code to play loud music past 6:00 p.m. at night, Pablo called his attorney. When he opened his mail one day, Darian discovered a notice commanding his appearance in court.  He laughed and immediately called Pablo and almost shouted in the phone, “What are you doing?  I had an agreement for years with Walter to have these musicians play in the gardens.  Then you waltz in and think you can change everything.  If you stop this music, no one will come for these historic tours.  You’re the one that’s going to lose money!”  Subsequently, Darian ignored the notice and continued business as usual with the musicians continuing to play in the gardens.  Pablo visited the historic house unannounced a week later, and this time Darian saw him.  Pablo quickly announced to Darian: “The judge said you must pay $300/day for missing the court date.  Plus, this historic house has no accommodation for people who enter with wheelchairs.  You’re going to need to tear down this wall and build an elevator.”  “Are you insane?”  Darian responded.  “You can’t just sneak in here whenever you want!  As an owner of this land, you should know full well what the lease says.”   Darian read in the Boston Globe two weeks later that the Boston City Council changed the building code to allow music until 9:00 p.m. each day of the week.  Discuss all of the legal claims and remedies Pablo likely sought against Darian in court. Discuss all defenses Darian can make against Pablo.
