1 CASE REPORT 5—Colby Tyler Audrey Decker 06/01/2024 PSYCH 476—Dr. Crosby Case Report: Colby Tyler DSM5 After examining and reading about Colby Tyler’s case study, his symptoms would match the criteria in the DSM-5 for ADHD. His symptoms the most align are his disconnect to schoolwork, misplacement of belongings, and inability to focus and stay on task,. The ADHD specifier that would be most appropriate based on his presentation would be inattention (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2018) Case Conceptualization Colby Tyler is an adolescent 14-year-old boy who is showing symptoms of ADHD through inattention. His case could be most centered around his family/parenting attachment). His parents divorced and it has been rocky for Colby as he chose to live with his mother and lost his father in the home. Colby was put in a stressful environment centered around his parents arguing through their conflicts. As a child his temperament was slow to warm up and he also developed an avoidant attachment from his mother’s stress on him. Other important information to note is that Colby expressed disinterest in school because he will be leaving his gifted program that provided him the support he needed. He does not like that his teachers don’t give him individualized help outside the program, and it leads him to lose interest quickly. From his stressful home environment, parenting styles, and change in dynamics these factors contribute to behaviors that align with symptoms for inattentive ADHD. With these
2 CASE REPORT 5—Colby Tyler factors in mind, Colby may benefit from family therapy to help him cope through his home life to see if his symptoms are situational or ADHD. Gifted Labeling I believe, after reading through Colby’s case, that being identified as “gifted” in fourth grade was a positive factor for his development. It helped Colby to develop a sense of self outside of how his behavior and actions as a kid. This offered almost as an “escape” for Colby from his stressful family life. If he was not labeled as “gifted” he might not have had that avenue to de-stress or have his needs met which would ultimately be bad for his development throughout adolescence.
