Diagnosing Disorders
______________________________________________________________________________
Instructions: For each of the following cases, first identify the general category of each disorder (e.g., anxiety disorder, mood disorder, personality disorder, dissociative disorder, schizophrenia), and then indicate what the specific diagnosis would be.
Reggie is a college freshman who has registered for four classes, but cannot get himself up and out of bed to go to any of them. He feels like a complete failure. He believes he is too stupid to get a college degree, but he does not want to disappoint his family by letting them see what a loser he is. Instead, he just stays in bed all day with the shades drawn. He doesn’t even have enough energy to make himself something to eat, so he is rapidly losing weight.

Walking home after work one night, Gina chanced upon a drug deal turning sour. Guns were drawn and shots were fired. She heard the explosions and the whiz of bullets, saw a man fall bleeding to the ground, and watched a car race away with squealing tires. She was so shaken after this incident that she quit her job so that she would not have to go to that section of town. She refused to take another night job because she did not want to go out at night. Finally, she found that she could not bear the idea of getting any job because she did not feel safe leaving her apartment at all.

Handout 14-F (Continued)
Rafael, one of your new college dorm mates, appeared to be very shy and withdrawn at the beginning of the semester. He seemed sad and lonely but kept to himself and he seemed also to spend a lot of time sleeping. Now, suddenly, he has been transformed. He is the life of the party, carousing all night then dashing off to his classes, with no need at all for sleep. He claims to have a system for “aceing” his classes without doing any studying, but is not able to give any coherent explanation of his system.
Category: Specific diagnosis:
You are walking downtown one day, when you see a homeless man sitting on the street with a cup next to him and a sign that says, “I’m Joe. I’m homeless and hungry. Please help.” You put some coins in his cup and continue on your way. Several weeks later, at the same location, you see a man that looks like Joe, but younger and more energetic, hurrying up and down the block saying, “I’m Henry and I’ve been saved. Bless the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.” You realize it is the same man you saw before, but even his voice sounds different.

For Sociology:
C. Wright Mills defined the sociological imagination as the capacity for individuals to understand the relationship between their individual lives and the broad social forces that influence them. In other words, the sociological imagination helps people link their own individual biographies to the broader forces of social life: "Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both" (Mills 1959).
In this assignment, you will use this sociological imagination to analyze a situation that happened in your life and has had a huge impact on you.
