Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar
Disorder
Case Study: An Asian American Woman With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a unique disorder that causes shifts in mood and
energy, which results in depression and mania for clients. Proper
diagnosis of this disorder is often a challenge for two reasons: 1) clients
often present as depressive or manic, but may have both; and 2) many
symptoms of bipolar disorder are similar to other disorders.
Misdiagnosis is common, making it essential for you to have a deep
understanding of the disorder’s pathophysiology. For this Assignment,
as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources,
consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with
bipolar disorder.
