Case Study 1:
Amy, age 38, is a worrier. She is restless, irritable and has difficulty concentrating. She worries that she worries so much and isn’t always sure what it is that she is worried about. She can’t let her husband or children leave the house without making them call her regularly to reassure her that they are ok. Her husband is growing weary of her fretting. Her children can’t understand what all the fuss is about. Their impatience with her only makes her worry more.
Diagnosis:
Amy is suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Treatment:
Medication and psychotherapy can help with GAD, especially therapy that teaches the client how to control over symptoms.

Even though you explained the diagnosis and its treatment, I wish you would have expanded on it to encompass all of Amy's symptoms as well as other common one's of the disease.
Good job, though! :-)
Short, sweet, and to the point.
You're correct and you did a good job with the treatment. Add more point of view next time.
Correct treatment. Maybe add just a bit more detail. Other than that, excellent job!
good treatment. Add more detail. Nice post.
everything was good, just add a teeny bit more details
Even though not as in depth as i would have liked, the diagnosis and treatment were great!
good diagnosis and treatment. adding some more information about them would make it even better.
I liked how your article was short and your analysis was to the point. It made it so much easier to read! I think you could have expanded more on the treatment though. Overall, great job =)
Thank you for keeping it short and simple. :) Just need a little more insight.
Good diagnosis and suggested treatment. However, I sort of felt like it was a little short.
Great description of treatment, however could use a little more detail. Other than that it was great!
A bit more description could've helped. But all in all, a good post.
Cool dude. loved the length. i really dont like some of the long ranting that the other blogs had. good job.
