Diagnosing Disorders

Diagnosing Disorders TOPIC: Respond to the following prompt: Pick one of the mental disorders you learned about in this module. Think of a fictional character who you think might fit, at least to some extent, that type of disorder. Consider cartoon characters, Disney princesses, favorite sitcom characters, etc. Do some more research on the disorder to write up a diagnosis. Explain which disorder the character may have, describe the disorder, then provide at least three evidences or examples of how or why that character meets the description of the mental illness. STEP 1 (due Wednesday 12/9): First, write a response with at least EIGHT substantial sentences, integrating concepts you learned from the textbook reading and other materials (include links when necessary). Providing empirical support for your comments would be helpful. Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences. STEP 2 (due Sunday 12/13): Return to the discussion to comment on at least ONE classmate’s post (in at least FIVE sentences). Expand on a classmate’s comments in a value-adding, topic-related way. Promote a collaborative, supportive community, and advance the dialogue through follow-up questions. Reply posts cannot be one-liners, off-topic posts, vague statements, unsupported opinions, inadequate explanations or simply say, “I agree” or “good job.” Make sure you have two posts total (Your initial counts as one).
