Ap Psychology Case Study Essay
1/ What symptoms did the patient exhibit?
The patient in the video shows the physical symptoms, such as tiredness (eye dark circles because of lacking of sleep), muscle tension, fatigue (her face is always strained with frown, quick and frequent nictation), agitation (she could not stop moving, holding her phone), difficulty with sleep (she could not sleep well for weeks or months). She also suffers from psychological symptoms. She is worried excessively about the safe and health of her daughter and husband and could not miss seeing them for a while. She could not normally function concentrate on her work and her personal activities. She easily gets irritable with people in her family and others (like her boss)
2/ What type of thing that she …show more content…
The patient's disorder takes her away from important things she should be paying attention to at the moment. It makes her feel worry anytime about what can happen and what is unlikely to happen. It leads her to a physically tired state, psychological exhaustion and mental scare. Therefore, it prevents her from focusing on her work, completing her work and finding a new job (if she is laid off). Moreover, if she could not be "treated," she hardly gets on well with the community at her workplace. She might miss out many enjoyable events, and it can lead her disorder more seriously.
4/ What do you think the most debilitating part of the disorder is for the patient?
I think the most debilitating part of the disorder for the patient is the excessive and long-term worry. It leads her to not only a fatigable body but also a tired mentality. It keeps her away from functional activities, necessary relationships, and regular communications. One more important thing, the worry is the feeling, so it is very abstract and hard to confirm. In case that she meets a professional doctor and receive an efficient therapy, no ones can make sure if she absolutely recovers or if she could suffer from it
