Think of a fictional character who might fit one of the psychological disorders you learned about within this module. Consider cartoon characters, Disney princesses and villains, favorite sitcom characters, etc.
In your main post:
1. Explain which disorder the character may have, describe the disorder, then provide at least three pieces of evidence or examples of how or why that character meets the description of the mental illness. Be sure to keep the focus on the diagnostic criteria/symptoms presented in your text or an accredited resource like the National Institute of Mental Health.
2. Describe a possible method from your readings that could be used to treat the disorder you just described. Give details about the method and why it is the best possible way to treat this particular diagnosis.
Discussions require a minimum of 3 posts. The first post is your “initial response” or “Main Post” as this is your “opening or position statement”. It should be about 150-250 words and should include citations/references regarding where you found your information. Then provide a minimum of TWO thoughtful and relevant replies to fellow students. The guideline for a reply post is about 100-150 words. These posts should be relevant, timely, well-written and include citations. This is your chance to show off your knowledge of the Psychological terms, concepts, and principles you are learning about!! While the requirement is 3 posts, additional relevant, timely, and quality replies that add value are strongly encouraged to improve your learning and grade. Remember to integrate scholarly sources into your response, using APA guidelines to cite appropriately.
