Scenario: Samantha, Bipolar I or Bipolar II?
Description
In this episode of Licensure Lifeline, we tackle the complexities of initial assessments through an engaging case study of Samantha, a 28-year-old client presenting with symptoms that may indicate bipolar disorder.
We explore how to gather critical diagnostic information, including timelines for manic, hypomanic, and depressive episodes, and identify ethical considerations such as confidentiality, safety planning, and professional boundaries.
With sample questions modeled after the NCMHCE, we guide listeners through the process of making informed clinical decisions and addressing potential ethical dilemmas.
Whether you’re preparing for the licensure exam or refining your clinical skills, this episode provides valuable insights into assessment and ethical practice.
