Uncategorized Assignment-helpCase Study Module 2:Jack, a 36 year old, single Hispanic male truck driver, had been in an accident at work where he witnessed severe injury to two of his coworkers. For a few weeks after that he was fine but expressed some anxiety over the accident. Two months after the accident he began having nightmares and “flashbacks” seeing vivid images of the accident. He became quite anxious during these intrusive image episodes and hyperventilated, had rapid respiration and heart beat and was hypervigilant. He became so afraid another accident would happen at work, that he was unable to function at work due to the anxiety. He would try to avoid reminders of the accident but still intrusive thoughts about the event popped into his head over and over again. He became exhausted due to the level of constant arousal and at times would feel “numb”.Jack finally went for treatment after being out of work for 4 weeks because of the problem. Prior to this he had no mental health history. He was intelligent and a B average student in high school. He had no family psychiatric history. His physical health was excellent.You should summarize the relevant historical information in the following format:Presenting problem: Include demographic and put the clinical information in the client’s “own words”, indicate here in 1 or 2 sentences how you think this person would describe their problem if they were coming to you for treatment.History of the presenting problem: Write 2-3 sentences here to describe the history of the presenting problem.
