2 YMH Boston Vignette 5 video Part 1 What did the practitioner do well? In what areas can the practitioner improve? The practitioner worked with Sean to develop a report and informed him of his right to privacy and confidentiality. Customers are more forthcoming and honest during the assessment process when they feel trusted, which streamlines the process. Before making any observations, the practitioner responded to the client's questions, which prompted the latter to describe what he thought was the problem at hand. The client's perspective on the current situation, such as his or her mother's annoying behaviors was able to be understood by the practitioner as part of the evaluation process. I felt that the assessment process was weak because it didn't cover the parents' or family's medical or mental history. The adolescent's condition, treatment, and current medications should have been covered in more detail. This requires improvement. At this point in the clinical interview, do you have any compelling concerns? If so, what are they? No, there are not any strong causes to worry. Since the problem was identified during the assessment, a treatment plan may be created. What would be your next question, and why? The next question would be if the client or the client's parents have any concerns about the assessment. A child and adolescent psychiatrist's job is to support families and work as a team, not to judge or accuse specific people. They pay attention to concerns and help the child or

Part 2 Explain why a thorough psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent is important. A thorough psychiatric evaluation and assessment of a child/adolescent can be used to diagnose any kind of emotional, behavioral, or developmental problem (Vogl et al., 2021). The evaluation of a child or adolescent is based on the observed behavior. Describe two different symptom rating scales that would be appropriate to use during the psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent. Columbia depression scale : The Columbia Depression Scale, a 22-item screening tool for depression in children and adolescents aged 11 and older, is given by a qualified practitioner. Depression is "probable" on this survey if you score 12 to 15 "YES" responses (item #22 is not scored), and "very likely" if you score 16 or higher. Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) : Pediatricians utilize YMRS, an 11-item rating scale that parents complete, to decide whether to refer children and teenagers with a suspected bipolar illness to a mental health professional for additional assessment. Describe two psychiatric treatment options for children and adolescents that may not be used when treating adults. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Could be utilized to treat older teenagers who have borderline personality disorder, recurrent suicidal feelings or ideas, or who intentionally hurt
