Vicky's+Psychology+Project

=__**Psychology Research Paper**__= You will be researching a psychological disorder from this list: Mental Health Matters, Psychiatric Disorders. The information you will need to find is:
 * 1) Definition of the disorder - be sure to put these into your own words so everyone is able to understand the definition.
 * 2) Behaviors of the disorder - what are the symptoms of the disorder, how do people realize they or someone they know has the disorder?
 * 3) Causes of the disorder - are there any specific causes, such as heredity or abuse?
 * 4) Treatments for the disorder - are there medications, if so, what type of medication? is there therapy, if so, what type of therapy? Explain the therapy that is most commonly used such as behavioral or cognitive therapy. How long must the person undergo treatment?
 * 5) Success of the treatment - does the treatment always work, if not, what is the percentage of people for whom the treatment is successful?


 * You will be writing a paper as if you are the person with the disorder you selected. The paper will be 2-3 pages long, plus a work cited page. Use the Step-Up-To-Writing format. (HINT: have an introduction, the five bulleted items as paragraphs, and a conclusion) Richard and Vicky will be giving you a very, very, very quick refresher on SUTW and the works cited page.
