These are some of the key assessment issues to consider in Maryam’s case. She lacks enough sleep and tries to force herself to sleep by taking in excessive alcohol. She is anxious though her blood tests are normal. Maryam appears tired and judging by her speech she seems to have low self-esteem. Her normal functioning has been affected and this is evident by the fact that she says she cannot drive and does not attend classes as is required of her. (Yehuda, 2002).
