You are to choose one of the following two ‘disorders’ as described on the NHS Health A to Z. Borderline Personality Disorder. Bipolar Disorder. Your report is to contain two parts: Part 1: 1750 words Consider to what extent is it scientifically valid and practically useful to use Bipolar Disorder/BOD as a mental health diagnosis. Refer to critical theory/research in your answer. Part 2: 1250 words Referring to the NHS website, explain around 4-6 changes you would recommend making to the guide based on your consideration of critical theory and ideas. Refer to relevant research/theory/alternative sources to justify each recommendation. Example recommendations could be additions, subtractions, re-orderings, rewording. They may be relatively minor or major amendments. Your edits could be informed by (but not limited to): critical ideas around mental health diagnosis/treatment, ideas from discursive psychology/Foucault discourse analysis. Please include text to be removed/added/changed in a table showing both what was there originally, and the changes you recommend. You might need to explain in your own words any changes to layout or placing of text if these are relevant to any edits you recommend. The contents of the table are not included in the word count. Make sure you consider the audience (who the document is aimed at) when you are making your recommendations. Learning Outcomes Demonstrate knowledge of the psychological theories that shape society.
