MSFinals-5597

A 23-year-old man is brought to your clinic by his family for assessment. The patient recently graduated from university and has been struggling to adjust to post-graduate life. His family notes that he has always been a solitary person, preferring to spend his time in his room, playing video games and building models of his favourite characters. They had hoped that graduating from university would help him become more social. However, he has not made any new friends, and only his family is concerned about this. Instead of socializing, he continues to play video games alone in his room.

During the interview, he appears withdrawn and quiet. His emotional range is limited, and he does not show any clear signs of happiness or joy when discussing activities that he claims to enjoy. He denies experiencing any auditory or visual hallucinations and has no intention of harming himself or others. He claims that his sleep, appetite, energy, and concentration have not changed.
