An interesting assignment would be to have him or the class do a "synoptic" analysis using the DSM-IV-TR criteria for each of the disorders. I would have them write out, side by side, the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, bipolar, and schizophrenia, draw connecting lines between similar criteria and then do a "compare and contrast" based upon the analysis. I would also refer them to the differential diagnosis and the various "rule outs."

Could be an interesting assignment.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
And I've retired, no papers in a heap.
Now in the mornings I can sleep
or walk those woods so dark and deep.

Hi All:

I'm addressing tipster clinies for some advice on a student in intro psych. This student told me the first week of classes that he has rather severe ADHD and is
on meds and may occasionally miss classes during the semester.
