Assessment result:
Cognitive Functioning
Based on the test results, it appears that Mr. B has difficulties in cognitive functioning,
particularly in decision-making, problem-solving, and self-awareness. This aligns with his reported
struggles in decision-making and dependence on external sources for guidance. His low self-worth may
also contribute to his poor cognitive functioning by leading to self-doubt, insecurity, and self-criticism.
As a result, making decisions can be challenging for him as he may hesitate or feel inadequate in his
ability to make the "right" choice.
Emotional Functioning
Based on the assessment results, it appears that Mr. B is experiencing challenges in emotional
functioning, specifically in the area of emotion regulation. He exhibits symptoms of sadness,
dissociation, irritability, panic attacks, and mood swings. These difficulties may negatively impact his
ability to cope with stressors and manage his emotions effectively. Furthermore, Mr. B's severe
symptoms of unresolved guilt align with his report of remorse and regret linked to past infidelity. These
emotional challenges may be contributing to his reported issues with decision-making, interpersonal
relationships, and self-worth. It is recommended that Mr. B receives further assessment and treatment to
address his emotional functioning.
Interpersonal Functioning
In terms of interpersonal relations functioning, Mr. B reports challenges in his family
environment and experiences interpersonal conflicts at work. He also displays limited empathy and
social skills, which may contribute to these difficulties in his interpersonal relationships. The results
from the personality assessment indicate high levels of emotional distress, including hypochondriasis,
depression, persecutory ideas, and anxiety, which may further impact his daily functioning and ability to
cope with stressors.
Diagnostic Impression:
The results of the assessments administered and the information provided about Mr. B suggest a
possible diagnostic impression of Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and
Unspecified Personality Disorder. Mr. B presents with deficits in cognitive and emotional functioning, as
well as challenges in interpersonal relationships. These issues seem to stem from his reported low
self-worth, which may have contributed to his difficulties in decision-making, problem-solving, and
emotion regulation. Furthermore, his history of infidelity and unresolved guilt may be contributing to his
emotional distress and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood swings. Mr. B also experiences
interpersonal conflicts and displays limited empathy and social skills, which may impact his ability to
establish and maintain healthy relationships.
