V. Analysis
Overall the client is not showing any symptoms that are alarming and requires immediate intervention,
however the patient deals with some stressors in his daily task, like his studies and at home,but he
knows how to deal with it or on how to cope up when these stressors come in his way. Client has a
positive self-concept, as per the interview he believes in himself and knows how to handle different
circumstances and thinks of a successful future for himself.

VI. Evaluation
The patient was examined accordingly in the following areas: physical appearance and characteristics,
speech, orientation, memory, mood and affect, awareness, as well as content of thought. The patient
showed no signs and symptoms of poor mental health that requires immediate intervention and lastly
the whole duration of the interview was done effectively and the client was reassured of confidentiality.
