Read the following HPI

Write 1-2 sentences for the diagnosis and each differential diagnoses as to why the following diagnoses were chosen based on the presentation?

History of presenting illness (HPI): P.N, a 46-year-old male, presented to the clinic for help with his depressive mood. P.N. was referred by his primary care physician (PCP), who did a depression screening and realized that he needed a psychiatric evaluation; the PCP stated in the referral form that the patient presented to the clinic with a Solemn mood. The patient verbalized that he has been feeling sad nearly all day for the past month; he doesn’t feel any pleasure working in his food store anymore. He lacked sleep for almost six weeks. He stated that this started after the pandemic and now the price inflation.  He made losses due to high prices. Last month, his store had low sales because his suppliers hiked the buying price, forcing him to increase his selling price to make a profit. During this period, all his customers avoided him since they found another food store offering lower prices for farm products. As a result, he ended up making losses instead of profits, causing him stress, frequent headaches, and weight loss due to a lack of appetite. He stated that the food store had been his dream; therefore, he had never imagined losing it. During this period, he has no drive or motivation, forcing his wife to refer him to their primary care physician. The patient denies taking any psychiatric medications; however, he takes Tylenol periodically when he has a headache.

Actual diagnosis: Major depressive disorder

In this discussion, you will examine other studies on memory and consider how the findings contribute to our understanding of cognition and cognitive neuroscience.

To prepare

• Review this week’s Learning Resources on cognitive evolution, memory, and cognitive neuroscience.
• Locate a peer-reviewed journal article on memory related to one of the following topics:
  • Improving memory
  • Aging
  • Amnesia
  • Cognitive mapping
• Consider how the article you selected relates to cognition and cognitive neuroscience.

By Day 4

Post a response to the following:

Briefly describe the article you found on memory. Explain how the article informs our understanding of cognition and cognitive neuroscience. Be specific.

Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text citations and references. It is strongly recommended that you include proper APA format and citations.

This week you will be submitting the final program evaluation report.  The report will contain the following sections from the Capstone I and Capstone II courses:

Introduction/Goals and Objectives Section

Method Section

Results Section

Conclusions or Discussion

Be sure to incorporate all of the feedback that has been provided by your instructor.  At this point, the evaluation has been completed; therefore, sections that were written in future tense for the proposal should now be phrased in past tense.  Please review Chapter 9 of the textbook for a review of these sections.  Be sure all citations and references are in APA style.

• Explain whether juveniles should be transferred to adult court and prison for criminal charges.
• Support your position with at least three main points based on scholarly content and references. These points should be legal, criminal, and/or psychological-developmental issues and community safety.
• Explain the applicability of the main points to your opinion based on scholarly content and references about legal, criminal, and/or psychological-developmental issues.
