Diagnose the following patient. Make sure to provide evidence as to why you feel they have that disorder. Also, include a treatment plan. Name and background: Maya Chen, a 21-year-old sophomore majoring in biology. Lives in a dorm with two roommates. Family history includes a mother with a depressive disorder. Presenting problem: Over the last three weeks, Maya has experienced a persistently low mood and a marked loss of interest in activities she usually enjoys (e.g., drawing, hanging out with friends, playing volleyball). Symptoms (reported or observed): Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day. Diminished interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. Significant weight change (without trying) or changes in appetite. Insomnia or hypersomnia. Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt. Diminished ability to think, concentrate, or make decisions. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (passive thoughts; no active plan reported). Duration and impairment: Symptoms have been present for about three weeks and cause clinically significant distress or impairment. Maya has missed several classes, her grades have dropped, and she has withdrawn socially, spending most days in her dorm room. Medical/substance context: No known medical conditions that would explain the symptoms. No current substance use. No recent medication changes. Contextual stressors: Recently failed a major exam, worried about maintaining scholarships, and adjusted to a new city after transferring campuses. Ongoing roommate conflicts and concerns about future career prospects. Risk assessment and safety: Maya reports occasional thoughts of death but denies a plan or intention to act. She reports feeling overwhelmed and worried about what to do if things don’t get better. If she feels at imminent risk or expresses a plan, campus safety or emergency services would be contacted per protocol. Family/cultural considerations: Practices self-identification with cultural background; notes pressure from family to “succeed” academically. She reports some stigma around mental health in her cultural community but is open to seeking help.

Compare and contrast these two poems. Poem One: Poem Two: Those Winter Sundays By Robert Hayden Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he’d call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices?
