Be sure to include numbers (1, 2, 3) to organize your post. Also, in your initial post, include the word count of your answer (not including the prompts/questions) and include page numbers from the textbook.Reading Vignette:Carolyn Carlson is a 22-year old Caucasian female who is starting therapy to work on her low self-esteem. Carolyn reluctantly states that she has “problems throwing up.” When you inquire further, she elaborates that she began vomiting as a teenager to control her weight. She stated that she learned about purging methods from peers as well as online searches. Carolyn stated that after she vomits, she feels immediately relief, but then admitted that she feels embarrassed, ashamed, and worthless.Throughout your interview, you gather information regarding her eating patterns. Carolyn states that her intense fear of gaining weight intensified in high school. She began skipping meals (ie., does not eat breakfast) around 16 years old. Shortly after she entered college, at 18 years old, she began vomiting to compensate for her “binges.” Carolyn describes her binges as “overeating whenever stressed with school, friends, life in general.” An example of a binge was “eating half a cheeseburger and a few fries.” Due to these patterns, Carolyn has a significantly low weight and stated that she feels light headed sometimes.***READING VIGNETTE***1) discuss some differences between anorexia and bulimia?2) Briefly describe at least two treatments for eating disorders.3) After reading the provided Vignette, write about your experience diagnosing the patient.

When I think of “drug-related” violence, I think of crimes committed to obtain drugs. We see in the movies and on television children stealing items to sell for drugs, drug riddled addicts killing to get their next high or a gang war but not specific to drug trafficking and distribution. The lack of accurate coverage in our mass media on the true center of drug-related violence is disheartening. According to McQuail, “the study of mass media is based on the notion that the media has a significant effect on its audience” (Camarillo, Omar, 2021).After reading the assigned chapters in the Chasing the Scream I was dumbfounded on my prior ignorance. It turned out 7.5 percent of the killings took place after a person took drugs and their behavior seemed to change. Some 2 percent were the result of addict trying to steal to feed their habit and it going wrong. And more than three quarters- the vast majority-were like Chino’s attacks. They weren’t caused by drugs, any more than AL Capone’s killings were caused by alcohol. They were, Goldstein showed, caused by prohibition (Hari, 2015, p.66). I believe if people were more aware of the actual statistics of drug-related violence they would be more open to changing the downcast stereotype of all addicts. I assume many people, as myself, have not witnessed or been a part of drug-related violence and take for granted the information we are receiving from mass media on the topic. If it were more widely publicized correctly that 75 percent of all drug-related violence was within the trafficking and distribution sector, it would most likely lessen the brutal stereotypes placed on all drug abusers.ReferencesCamarillo, Omar (2021) Who are Deemed the “Worthy” and “Unworthy” Victims of Mexico’s Drug-Related Violence?, Journal of Borderlands Studies, 36(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1080/08865655.2018.1471732Hari, J.
