Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.Identify which four diagnoses you initially considered in the case of the client, using the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to explain why you selected these four items. In one or two sentences each, explain why three of these diagnoses were excluded.Explain any obvious eliminations that could be made from within the neurodevelopmental spectrum.Describe in detail how the client’s symptoms match up with the specific diagnostic criteria for the primary disorder that you finally selected for him. Note two other relevant DSM-5 criteria for that illness from the sections on “diagnostic features” and “development and course” that fit this case.

Running Head: Case Study of Adelmo                                                                                       1
Case Study of Adelmo
Based on the signs and symptoms of Adelmo, he is suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Other disorders that may be similar to his conditions are bipolar disorders, autism, and anxiety disorders (Chandra et al., 2016). 
ADHD is interpreted in terms of consistent inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity that disrupts growth and performance. Based on DSM-5 criteria, Adelmo had difficulty concentrating and it was impacting his academic and social activities. His impulsiveness and inattentiveness were present before the age of twelve years. This restlessness has also been demonstrated by his educator. He has also been reported to blurt out (Anbarasan et al., 2020). These symptoms have been present since he was four years old. He had impaired memory as he required reminders for his daily tasks. As Adelmo was both inattentive and impulsive, his ADHD was distinguished as a combined type. Hence, the ICD-10-CM code for his type is F90. 2. Moreover, the DSM code for his severe type of ADHD is 314.01. The Z code in the case of Adelmo is Z00.4 as it was a general psychiatric examination.
