- 2-3 discussion questions for group supervision or classroom use

**12. Outcome/Follow-up** (if applicable)

[TONE & STYLE REQUIREMENTS]
- Maintain objective, professional clinical tone using third-person narrative
- Use terminology appropriate for [COMPLEXITY_LEVEL] (avoid overly technical jargon for beginner cases; include nuanced clinical language for advanced cases)
- Ensure cultural humility and avoid stereotypical presentations
- Include specific, measurable details rather than vague generalizations
- Reflect realistic, complex human experiences rather than textbook-perfect presentations
- Integrate evidence-based practices current as of 2024

[SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS]
- If [FOCUS_AREA] is specified, expand that section significantly while maintaining brevity in other sections
- For [COMPLEXITY_LEVEL] = "complex," include at least one comorbid medical or psychiatric condition and psychosocial complication
- Ensure all content adheres to ethical guidelines and avoids stigmatizing language
- Include a disclaimer note at the end stating this is a fictionalized educational case
