Case Formulation Report - Abnormal Psych

For just twenty minutes a year, the world seems like the empty moon. It feels lighter with 1/6th the gravity, like on the moon. I wish the world would freeze like this. So life could be 1/6th lighter. ~ Jung-yeon

Based on the girl main character from the 2009 South Korean movie "Castaway on the Moon."

Note: The only thing that my professor disagreed on was my diagnosis of Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia), that the symptoms can be explained by the MC's first two diagnosis - Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) and Anorexia Nervosa, including her Avoidant Personality Disorder. Avoid over-diagnosis was the advise given to me. I still stand on my diagnosis though. Maybe it just needs better formulation/presentation. Or just ignore that part if you agree with my prof.
