This final exam asks you to use your knowledge of the dsm5 to read/view a case history of an unusual person and then develop what you think is the best dsm5 diagnosis for this person. During their lifetimes neither of these people sought psychiatric treatment or was formally diagnosed. Your assignment should consist of four numbered paragraphs which address these four questions:
Keep in mind they don’t have to meet all the criteria because the assignment is to find the diagnosis that is closest.] What other information would you need in order to determine whether your provisional diagnosis is correct?
Maybe they have a dsm5 disorder or maybe they don’t. Give me enough details about that person to show why they are in that gray area. [keep in mind your papers are submitted in confidence and no one else will hear about what you disclose in this paragraph.]
There are two cases to use in this assignment and you need to pick just one.
The first is a magazine article about a promising academic researcher who ended up with legal issues. You can read that article here:

Or
The second is an 80-minute documentary about a woman named Vivian Maier who lived in obscurity and died in 2009. After her death it was uncovered that she was an exceptional, world-class photographer.
