Question.1799 - Select a diagnosis from each cluster and review and describe the DSM-5 criteria. How does each selected diagnosis fit the cluster category?
Answer Below:
Cluster A includes personality disorders with unconventional behavior. The group has paranoid personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and schizoid personality disorder. The selected diagnosis is Schizotypal Personality Disorder DSM-5 Criteria: IMagical thinking patterns and old beliefs are responsible for influencing the behavior. The reason it fits the Cluster A category is because the individual thinking pattern is characterized by eccentric or odd thinking. Cluster B includes the unpredictable and dramatic symptoms. The group has histrionic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and ASPD. Cluster B - Narcissistic Personality Disorder: The DSM criteria include the individual belief in their entitlement and uniqueness; the reason it fits Cluster B is that the disorder is characterized by erratic, emotional behavior Cluster C is a group that includes the disorder where individuals experience anxious and fearful symptoms. This group has OCPD, avoidant personality disorder, and dependent personality disorder Cluster C Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder Stubbornness and rigidity in individuals with an inability to properly delegate tasks The reason this cluster fits the category is that the individual exhibits perfectionism and control needs. What made you select it? Also, discuss the research and prognosis. For giving the DSM-5 criteria examples, I selected them Cluster A Schizotypal Personality Disorder Research and Prognosis: A heterogeneous syndrome, Schizotypy, usually expressed by different dimensions, including disorganized, cognitive-perceptual, and interpersonal symptoms (Kirchner et al., 2018). With the schizotypal, there is a high risk of schizophrenia disorder. Individuals may express certain issues in maintaining and forming relationships due to eccentric behavior. Cluster B Narcissistic Personality Disorder There is a complexity in the neurobiological, genetic, and environmental interplay. Prognosis can be challenging with Narcissistic personality disorder as long-term prognosis can be difficult due to their resistance. Cluster C Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) The environmental and genetic order has been researched, and the prognosis of OCPD patients can be difficult as the impact on their behavior seems to complicate the entire process.
