Please choose one of the following topics: Anxiety (Clinically known as Generalized Anxiety Disorder), Depression (Clinically known as Major Depressive Disorder), or Trauma (Clinically known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Please write a research essay that covers the following topics: 1. What are the characteristics of the disorder? What are the characteristics within a specific population (i.e. a population you work with or want to work with)? For example, anxiety looks different in the grief and loss realm as it does for someone who is struggling with addiction. – It may be helpful to research what the DSM-5 states are diagnostic features of that disorder. – Please do not make this section the bulk of your essay and try to describe things IN YOUR OWN WORDS. 2. Describe some challenges that clients face in obtaining treatment for these disorders. – Things to think about here are stigma, presence of violence, small town, being a college student, cultural issues, gender, finances, age, etc. – Keep in mind that obtaining treatment for trauma has different challenges that obtaining treatment for substance use disorders. Choose a specific population and identify some of their specific challenges. 3. What are some treatment modalities that are used to treat that specific disorder? – What are tools or measurements used to diagnose that disorder? – What types of treatment modalities are used (. CBT, DBT, etc.)? – What are some types of methods that are used to treat the disorder? 4. Please list 2-3 resources you could locate for treating this issue in our community. It is helpful to understand the same process that clients go through to find help. Compile your reactions into a 4-5 page paper, double spaced, 12-point font with one-inch margins. Please know that I am absolutely aware that different type of APA I am not concerned with specifics but more that you write a coherent essay that is organized and is not written in a “conscious stream of thought” way. Please make sure to check that the paragraph spacing is listed for “double” and not “multiple.” Please do not overuse the semicolon (spellcheck often defaults to this and it is not correct) and be sure to check for appropriate grammar and spelling. Please use a minimum of 3 citations for this essay and you must provide a copy of the citations so I can verify them.
