Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders are typically marked by recurrent and persistent thoughts, behaviors, and urges that one experiences during a particular disturbance, which cause anxiety or distress and are intrusive and unwanted.
Paraphilic Disorders are defined as persistent, intense or preferential sexual interest that is not solely focused on genital stimulation or preparatory fondling and are not engaged with a phenotypically typical, physiologically mature, consenting human partner.
Throughout this course, you will be introduced to a series of individuals, each displaying symptoms that are indicative of specific Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders outlined in the DSM-5-TR. By watching interactive video patient simulations, you will have the opportunity to observe and analyze the behaviors and symptoms of each client and apply the diagnostic criteria to make an accurate diagnosis.
