Bipolar disorders  Abnormal

Psychology Research Paper You will choose a disorder for your paper.

You must have at minimum, three resources.

I would prefer that the DSM 5 be a resource but as we only have one copy in the library and it’s quite expensive to purchase, please at least, reference what your book has to say about the DSM in regards to the disorder. The paper should be 6-10 pages long adhering to APA guidelines. I have added links and resources regarding APA format if you are unclear. This will affect your grade, please specifically look at referencing within the body of your work. Many people reference their work in the end and forget to reference within the paper. Please follow the following format. A grading rubric is provided below. Introduction What the disorder is and why it is important to study Body Diagnostic features Course Prevalence Differential Diagnoses/Rule outs (not just a list, but 1 or two and how they can be confusing) Special Features of the Disorder Treatment Research in the field Conclusion Summary Implications Caution – DO NOT COPY WORD FOR WORD WHAT IS IN THE BOOK OR DSM. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL GET AN AUTOMATIC 0. INSTEAD READ IT, DIGEST IT, AND COME UP WITH YOUR OWN WORDS THAT EXPLAIN WHAT THE BOOKS SAY. QUOTES ARE FINE, NOT NO MORE THAN 2. You may choose from the following disorders. If there is something you would like to research that is not listed, please email me for approval.
