What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)?
Write an Essay What the source and identity category are. Very literally, what is the sourcea diary entry, a political cartoon, a news report? What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)? The historical background of the source. What was happening where and when the source was produced that may have influenced the person or people who produced it? The perspective (or bias) of the source. Who created it, when, and why? What point of view does the source promote? Did the creator(s) of the source have a personal, economic, or political stake in how the source was received? Does the source promote blatantly inaccurate information? If so, why? What the source tells us about identity within the historical context in which it was created. Thinking about your identity category, what, if anything, does the source say explicitly? (Meaning, what does the source just come out and say?) What does the source say implicitly? (Meaning, what does the creator leave unsaid, perhaps because it is common knowledge, because it is taboo, etc.?) Your assessment of the sources usefulness. How helpful is this source to understanding the identity category connected to it? What limitations could exist when using this source to understand the past?

Discuss the Key Elements of Psychiatric Assessment and Interviewing of ChildrenWhen conducting psychiatric assessments and interviewing of children.
Respond to Ste:Discuss the Key Elements of Psychiatric Assessment and Interviewing of ChildrenWhen conducting psychiatric assessments and interviewing of children, there are several important elements to consider. According to Sharma et al. (2019), creating a rapport is crucial to building a relationship of trust with children while encouraging them to share their experiences. The interviewer needs to be welcoming, cordial, and non-judgmental. In addition, collecting information about developmental history is also crucial. This includes gathering details regarding the kid’s physical, cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional growth. It’s critical to understand how the child’s current issues fit into their broader developmental trajectory. Seeking out the viewpoint or perspective of the child is also essential. As noted by Sharma et al. (2019), questions about the child’s thoughts, sentiments, and experiences should be made. Employing open-ended questions, play therapy, or artwork are just a few methods that can be used to accomplish this. Obtaining information from parents or other primary caretakers can also be helpful as it gives the interviewer a clearer view of the child’s behavior, symptoms, and medical background (Sharma et al., 2019). This key element is essential to see how the family is being impacted by the child’s issues. Another vital key element is utilizing standardized assessment tools. There are a variety of standardized assessment tools that can be employed to assess children’s mental health. These tools can assist in pinpointing specific problems and making diagnoses.Discuss the Role Parents Play in the Assessment of the ChildIn evaluating a child, parents are essential. They are the primary source of knowledge regarding the child’s growth, behavior, and medical background. They can also offer insightful information about the child’s abilities and limitations. Parents can also play a role in advocating for their children during the assessment process. This means speaking up for the child’s needs and ensuring that they are getting the best possible care. Explain the Steps Needed if the Child Discloses Information about the Parent(s) Engaging in Illicit BehaviorHealthcare professionals have a critical ethical and legal responsibility to recognize abuse of children and other vulnerable populations and to report it to the relevant state bodies (Thomas & Reeves, 2022). Safety must come first if there is reason to believe a child is being mistreated. A healthcare professional must evaluate the child’s behavior, emotions, and family dynamics. Other steps for ongoing supervision include getting to know the child, paying attention, listening, and offering comfort and empathy (Gonzalez et al., 2022).Explain the Steps Needed if the Child Discloses Information about the Parent(s) Engaging in Illicit BehaviorHealthcare professionals have a critical ethical and legal responsibility to recognize abuse of children and other vulnerable populations and to report it to the relevant state bodies (Thomas & Reeves, 2022).

Also, it is linked to a younger age at onset, a more severe clinical course (i.e., more intense symptoms), and a worse treatment outcome concerning medication or psychotherapy (Lippard & Nemeroff, 2020). The treatment plan for adolescent depression can be treated with various options, such as psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral methods, family and group therapies, and medication. The availability of alternative therapy modalities is crucial due to concerns over the use of antidepressant medication throughout adolescence, including the potential for an increased risk of suicide. Popular evidence-based non-pharmacological therapies for depressed teenagers are interpersonal psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (Sharma et al., 2019).
