Select 1 of the following disorders:

• Major depressive disorder

Focus the discussion on the following:

• What are some of the symptoms?

• What would this disorder look like in person? Make sure you relate this back to the DSM criteria.

• Based on your research, do you think the media has portrayed the disorder you selected in an unbiased manner or is it sensationalized? Support your answer.

• Discuss 1 effective treatment approach for the disorder you selected. Support your answer with research.

I do think that people have their own opinion on the disorder. Some of the symptoms are fatigue, sadness, depression, suicidal, sickness, anxiety, and weigh loss. The disorder may not show on a person or it may look like a person withdrawn from social activities with friends and daily hygiene and possibly even school or work. Treatment for the disorder is therapy whether it be one on one or group therapy. Also nutrition therapy and possibly addiction therapy depending on situation.
