Assignment: Develop a Clinical Case Study

This week, you have learned about four categories of disorders: bipolar and related disorders, depressive disorders, sleep-wake disorders, and sexual dysfunctions. For this assignment, select a disorder within one of these categories and develop a clinical case study for a fictitious patient who is newly diagnosed with the disorder you selected. This patient should be from a cultural background that is different than your own. Consider the symptoms that the patient is experiencing, history of the symptoms, and make a recommendation for the pharmacological treatment based on studies reporting efficacy and effectiveness. Be sure to include possible side effects and interactions of treatments/medications you recommend.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages
References: Include at least 5 scholarly resources.

Your case study should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
