DSM-V Diagnosis Chuck McGill from Better Call Saul

Essay prompt: DSM-5 Diagnosis of Fictional Characters. Please read the following carefully!

Select a fictional character from television, movies or English literature and come up with a tentative DSM-5 diagnosis (and using all relevant DSM-5 specifiers). First describe the individual and give a brief history of the presenting problem, then present your diagnostic impressions. Be sure to provide evidence to justify your judgments that the necessary criteria have been met. Avoid real-life personalities. A differential diagnosis (rule outs) with three (3) appropriate DSM-5 disorders and thorough rationale as to why they can be ruled out must also be included. You must include relevant DSM-5 criteria to support your diagnosis and why this individual meets criteria. You will include various forms of social-environmental stressors/problems, medical conditions, and functional impairments in the individual’s life that could impact the development/course/severity of the mental illness(es).

You are required to find one peer reviewed article to support your argument (of the particular diagnosis) and cite using APA style in your paper. This can be done through searching psychology database (PsycInfo) on the library’s website (https://library.mtsu.edu/psychology/databases). Ask your instructor if you need additional help. You must also include your textbook as a reference AND cite appropriate DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for the disorder you are diagnosing and those that you are ruling out.

Each paper should be at least two pages (not including a title and reference page; no more than 4 pages), double spaced, with a simple header including your paper’s title and your name, and an APA style reference page. References should be placed on page three (or page 4 if you include a title page) of your document and should begin at the top of the page. Be careful to avoid plagiarism! References should be cited in-text and referenced using APA style. Papers will be run through an electronic plagiarism program. Avoid copying words written by others without using proper quotation style (from APA manual) and citations. Feel free to reach out to your instructor or your TA for APA style support and resources.
Each paper is worth 100 points. Papers must be submitted via D2L prior to 11:59 p.m. on the due date. If the paper is one class period late, 10 points will be taken away. Papers will not be accepted later than one class period following the deadline (i.e., a grade of 0 will be given for that assignment). Returned papers will include specific feedback on ways to improve written expression. Grading guidelines are as follows:

95 to 100 points: The paper is meritorious, clearly exceeding the requirements for the assignment. An A+ paper includes all of the following: Includes extra sources that are relevant to the argument and provides evidence supporting the student’s main points. Goes beyond what is presented in the articles/citations (i.e., not merely a summary of the articles but also includes student’s own thoughts, opinions, knowledge, or personal experiences). Near perfect grammar (i.e., must show evidence that the paper was proofread carefully and that the student used spellcheck or other grammar aides). Correct APA style (no title page needed, but must use correct font type (Times New Roman), size (12 pt font throughout), formatting of in-text citations and references, reference page, etc.)

80 to 94 points: The paper is meeting expectations for the assignment.

60 to 79 points: The paper is lower than the expected standards for this class. Paper does not include one or more required components (e.g., reference page, in-text citations, supplemental peer-reviewed source, etc.).

Below 60 points: The paper is sloppy and poorly written. Paper was not turned in, or it was turned in more than one class period late, or the student plagiarized some material.
Remember, essays should use APA style formatting with in-text citations AND a reference page.
Edited to add information regarding citing a series or film in APA style:

Since you are using a fictional character from a film or other media, it would be appropriate to cite that media source in-text and in your reference section of your paper. Here is a link from the

Purdue Owl website on how to cite media in APA style:

Lab 14: Blood and Blood Typing

Overview

The cardiovascular system includes three main components: the blood, blood vessels, and the heart. The heart serves as a pumping mechanism to distribute blood through the blood vessels and deliver nutrients, oxygen, and other important components to the tissues while removing waste and carbon dioxide. In order to operate effectively, all parts of the cardiovascular system must be functioning. In this lab, we will examine the anatomy of human blood using a microscope and explore how blood typing is performed.

 

Part 1: Blood Cells

Preliminary Information

Human blood is composed of plasma and cells. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood made up of water. Other components found in plasma include proteins, glucose, and hormones. There are three different types of blood cells: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Each of these has different shapes and functions.

Some diseases can be diagnosed by looking at the appearance of blood cells or the relative number of blood cells. Sickle-cell anemia is a disease in which the erythrocytes become sickle or crescent shaped when oxygen levels are low. The crescent shaped cells can get caught in smaller blood vessels and, as a result, oxygen delivery is impaired. The term leukemia is a reference to a group of cancers that impacts the leukocytes. In a healthy individual, there are actually relatively low numbers of leukocytes in the blood compared to erythrocytes. Most leukocytes remain in other areas like the red bone marrow or other organs like lymph nodes or the spleen. With leukemia, there is an overproduction of abnormal leukocytes in the red bone marrow and the excess leukocytes end up moving into the blood. The abnormal leukocytes do not function normally and the overabundance of them in the bone marrow crowds out the normal blood stem cells causing various health complications, including anemia.

 

Lab Objectives

  • Discuss the main components of blood and their importance in the human body.
  • Differentiate between the blood of a healthy individual and that of someone with a blood disorder such as leukemia and sickle cell anemia.

 

Hypotheses:

Construct a hypothesis regarding the visible differences between the healthy blood cells and those on the sickle cell anemia slide:

 

 

 

Construct a hypothesis regarding the visible differences between the healthy blood cells and those on the infected blood slide:

  • Colored pencils

 

Methods

  1. Go to the website listed below and view the human blood smearthat represents a healthy human blood. Click on the image to make the image larger. Draw a small, but representative section of what you see in the area provided. Be sure to use colored pencils, markers or crayons.

If for some reason this link does not work, Internet search prepared individual microscope slide human blood smear

  1. Label an erythrocyte, leukocyte, and thrombocyte (platelet) in your drawing.Erythrocytes will appear round and red.  The main function of erythrocytes is to carry oxygen and iron. Erythrocytes are also the most abundant cells in the blood.

 

All leukocytes are round and purple with a nucleus. However, the size and shape of the nucleus varies.  There are five different types of leukocytes found in the blood: neutrophils, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes. Some leukocytes contain granules in their cytoplasm which makes them appear grainy. The main function of the leukocytes is to protect the body from infections. They are the main players in our immune system.

 

Thrombocytes are cellular fragments and have no nucleus. They will appear as small purple specks/spots.  The main function of thrombocytes is to stop bleeding by clotting the blood.

 

  1. Count the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes that you see in one field of view (one field of view is the entire area you see in the light). To count the erythrocytes, divide the field of view into quadrants (4 sections) and count the number you see in one quadrant and multiple by 4. Write your results in Table 1 within the Data section.

Part 2: Blood Typing

Preliminary Information

All human cells contain markers called surface antigens built into the plasma membrane. These act as identification tags and allow the immune system to recognize the cells of an individual as ‘self’. For example, red blood cell membranes have surface antigens that determine blood type.  Blood type is represented as a combination of the ABO blood antigen (Type A, B, AB, or O blood) and the Rh blood antigen (Rh+ (positive) when the Rh surface antigen is present, negative otherwise). For example, if a person has Type A+ blood, the red blood cells have the Type A surface antigen as well as the Rh antigen.

In order to protect the body, the immune system produces antibodies, proteins that attach to and attack ‘foreign’ antigens. Antibodies circulate in the blood and will cause a reaction if they encounter ‘non-self’ cell surface antigens. For example, if you are Type A+ blood, your immune system produces antibodies which will bind to and destroy any red blood cells that have the Type B surface antigens. These anti-B antibodies cannot bind to Type A surface antigens and do not attack red blood cells with Type A surface antigens. Table 2 outlines the major blood types of human blood.

 

Table 2. Blood Type, Surface Antigens, and Antibodies

Blood Type Red Blood Cell Surface Antigens Antibodies Produced
A- A Anti-B

Anti-Rh

A+ A, Rh factor Anti-B
B – B Anti-A

B + B, Rh factor Anti-A
AB – A and B Anti-Rh
AB + (universal recipient) A and B, Rh factor None
O – (universal donor) None Anti-A

Anti-B

O + Rh factor Anti-A

Anti-B

Blood typing is particularly important from a medical perspective because there are many people who need donations of blood (blood transfusions) due to illness or injury. If an individual is given the wrong type of blood in a transfusion the immune system will attack the donated blood. This reaction by the immune system is called a transfusion reaction. The antibodies cause the donated red blood cells to clump and lyse (pop), which can lead to kidney failure and even death. When determining the types of blood that an individual can receive, it is important to focus on the red blood cells from the donated blood and to focus on the antibodies that the recipient possesses. You do not need to worry about the antibodies in the plasma from the blood of the donor because the antibodies are so diluted in the recipients blood that they do not usually cause an issue.

 

Lab Objectives

  • Understand the importance of blood type in blood transfusions.
  • Experience how blood typing is conducted.

  1. The ABO blood system has 4 main blood types: A, B, AB, and O.  Type A and B blood are both dominantly inherited, whereas, Type O is recessive.  A couple has a baby and the man doesn’t think that the baby is his because the baby doesn’t look like him. His blood type is A and his partner’s blood type is O. The baby’s blood type is O and he is sure that proves this cannot be his baby. Using a Punnett Square, show the man whether or not this baby can be his or not.
