Psychology Understanding Mental Health Disorders in Children

Choose a mental health disorder that you might expect to find in a child client. Find at least 5 academic sources related to the diagnosis that you chose. At least one of these references should include a discussion of the impact of socio-economic factors related to the disorder. Create a 3-5 page summary of how the diagnosis presents specifically in children. Identify a client in Jones and colleagues (2016) that might have this diagnosis.

Your thesis statements should read: “(Specific client from Jones et al.) seems to present with (specific DSM-5 mental health disorder).” The body of your paper should then present the following information:

General overview of the disorder.

Socio-cultural factors of the disorder.

Specific symptoms as they relate to children.

Specific symptoms within the case from Jones and colleagues that support your thesis statement.
