USING ANXIETY DISORDER!
Medication Papers-20 points each
Select a pharmacologically treated disorder on which to present to the class. Based on the type of work/population you intend to work with research common presenting problems and medications used as treatment along with counseling.
Include the following labels as components in each presentation:

2. Pathogenesis, including pathophysiology of the disorder (e.g., neurotransmitters involved, areas of brain most implicated, brief psychosocial factors).
3. Relevant theories supporting pharmacological treatment and how this treatment works (e.g., down regulation, up regulation, blocking, reuptake, increasing neurotransmitter release).
4. Main drugs used for treatment along with their prominent side-effects.
Future directions for pharmacological treatment and/or research for this disorder.
