Bipolar Disorder and Anticonvulsant/Mood Stabilizing Medications
Select one of the following disorders treated with anticonvulsant/mood stabilizing medications:
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Bipolar I disorder
- Bipolar II disorder
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources. Create a case study of a client with the selected disorder. Include the client’s age, gender, major presenting factors (including losses and symptom manifestation), when symptoms emerged, and any other pertinent information. Consider possible medical treatments that a psychiatrist might prescribe for the hypothetical client and the role of the counselor in these treatment cases. Be creative in your description, but also be as realistic as possible. Use the DSM-5 and your other texts to construct the background story for your hypothetical client’s presentation.
