MMH4MHD: Mental Health Diagnosis Assignment

Topic overview

In this assessment you submit a 10-minute video presentation in which you will present a diagnostic case study presentation of a consumer. You will need to identify a consumer you have worked with (use a pseudonym) and, using PowerPoint, present them as a case study.

The assessment task requires you submit a 10-minute video which includes the usual +/- 10% in the assessment task length giving you a 9-11 minute window for the length of your video. It is particularly important to note that the markers will not watch past the 11:00 minute mark so your entire presentation (including your reference list at the end of your presentation) needs to be included before you get to this point: anything after this will not be included in the marking of your presentation.

Assessment criteria

This assessment will measure your ability to:

• Introduce your case study and the aims of the presentation (3 marks)
• Provide a vivid overview of the person and their background (3 marks)
• Identify the person's primary diagnosis, any alternative diagnosis and main presenting problems (8 marks)
• Describe the consumers experience with the diagnosis and consider any treatment options and how the consumer will best be supported to engage with these (10 marks)
• Present and deliver the presentation in an engaging and professional manner (3 marks)
• Use appropriate referencing and literature to support your statements (3 marks)

Guidelines

Identify a consumer you have worked with in the past to present as a case study. You can use a pseudonym or de-identify the consumer. Conduct a search using SCOPUS or Cinahl for appropriate literature to support your presentation.

Provide an overview of their background, diagnosis, any alternative diagnosis and main presenting problems. Consider their experience with diagnosis and what it means to them. Describe any treatment options and how the consumer will best be supported to engage with these options.

You should use third person academic writing. Refer to your reading as you present and include a final slide with citations to what you have read.

Post any questions to the discussion forum for Assessment 1. There will be further thoughts about this assessment posted here. Please do not email questions.
