Case study: Sam
Sam is a 14 year old Caucasian female. Sam is currently in the 9th grade and attends a small charter school. She reports having friends and has good grades. Sam lives with her mom, dad, and one of her older sisters. Her eldest sister is already away at college, whom she is close to. Reports not being close to everyone else in the home; even reports she sister that is still in the home belittles her and talks down to her. Sam recently was brought in to the mental health facility by her mom due to concerns about missing meals at home and coming home with her lunch not eaten. Mom first reached out and Sam medically evaluated but no issues were found and recommended nutritional options. Mom reports she noticed Sam was behaving a little differently, her clothes were looser, changes in her body frame, and Sam staying in her room more often in the dark. Sam reported there was nothing wrong and she wanted to start watching what she eats. Sam reported weighing herself in the morning and at night every day. She was also measuring herself every week (arms, waist, thighs, calves, etc) to make sure she wasn’t “expanding.” Sam also reported she didn’t like eating at school because she felt like everyone was watching her eat and it would make her uncomfortable. Sam reports not liking how she looks sometimes and feeling sad more than 3-4 days out of the week. This has been going on for more than 12 months.
You will write a 1-2 (not including title page) page paper summarizing case, determining possible diagnosis, justify that diagnosis, and explain in detail possible treatment and how it would be beneficial to Sam. Be sure to site your resources.
