Instructions
Read the 4 case examples and for each one choose the DSM-5-TR diagnosis from the four options provided that best describes what you see the client suffering from. Information is far more limited than you would have in a real life clinical scenario when making a diagnosis. After choosing one of the four options for a diagnosis, then identify at least two diagnostic criteria and descriptors to support each diagnosis you have chosen.

Example of how to present the answer:
- Diagnosis: D) Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder), mild
- B. Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or more activities of daily life, such as communication, social participation, and independent living, across multiple environments, such as home, school, work, and community.
- C. Onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the developmental period.
Note: Examples of diagnostic criteria and descriptors should correspond to the DSM-5-TR’s numbers/letters as per the diagnostic criteria and descriptors in the DSM-5-TR*. Use the exact language of the DSM-5-TR; do not abbreviate or reword the diagnostic criteria and descriptors.
- “B” and “C” are exactly as they are labeled in the DSM-5-TR, see p. 37. This is all you need for each answer.
Remember, you use the diagnosis that is not in parentheses. The diagnosis in parentheses is the ICD-10 diagnosis, not the DSM-5 diagnosis. For example, the DSM-5 reads:
Intellectual Disability
(Intellectual Developmental Disorder)
Intellectual Disability (DSM-5)
(Intellectual Developmental Disorder)-ICD-10
Note: For purposes of this class, you want the first diagnosis for your answer “Intellectual Disability” as it is the DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
