Social Anxiety Disorder ( F40.10 ) - 1893 Words

1. For my primary diagnosis, I have chosen Social Anxiety Disorder 300.23 (F40.10) with a Z code of Social Exclusion or Rejection V62.4 (Z60.4). I have chosen the Z code of Social Exclusion or Rejection because of the case study symptomatology and certain aspects of details of Nadine’s case. Nadine is afraid of being humiliated and is afraid of going to public places, based off of the strong evidence of her past experiences of being bullied at school. Another possible Z code could be Parent -Child Relational Problem V61.20 (Z62.820) given the criteria of feelings of estrangement and hostility expressed by Nadine toward her mother. She expresses that she does not want to â€Å"be anything like her mother†(quoted from case study). 2. I believe that Nadine fits the criteria relative to Social Anxiety Disorder 300.23 (F40.10).

The first diagnostic criteria, A. is â€Å"marked fear or anxiety about one or more social situations in which the individual is exposed to possible scrutiny by others. Examples include social interactions (e.g., having a conversation, meeting unfamiliar people), being observed (e.g., eating or drinking), and performing in front of others (e.g., giving a speech)† (DSM, p. 202). Nadine demonstrates this diagnostic criteria, because for example, she is afraid to go to a public park and â€Å"had become scared to even read by herself in the local park† (quoted from case study).
