Major Depressive Disorder, you can write about why that disorder interests you as one page. The next four pages must be a synopsis of the scholarly research journals you read. For example, you can find scholarly research journals on the causes or treatments of the disorder and summarize the research. You cannot use interviews or stories of people as evidence of empirical studies. Please do not list each journal and explain it. You must include a 7th page that will be a list of all of your references (a bibliography).
The research paper must be written in essay format, without bullet points, lists, or subsection titles. You will not write an abstract. You need a minimum of 3 references for this paper, which may only include journal articles and approved websites. Do not use any book as a reference. Your references should be no older than 2005.
You are not allowed to use websites for the paper until I approve the site beforehand. A few exceptions to this include psychologicalscience.org, apa.org, NIMH.gov, NIDA.gov, and any site I directed you to in the classroom. You can’t use any “.com” because there is no one to govern the truth of many of these sites which means you can’t even use wikipedia.com or any other “wiki” site!
