Throughout the centuries and across cultures, the mysteries of mental affliction have fascinated and terrified humanity. Despite the attempts of modern science to explain abnormal behavior, an estimated 20 percent of Americansabout one in five adultsexperience psychiatric symptoms every year. Although much knowledge has been acquired in the field of biological psychiatry and in regard to the origin of mental disease, a complete neurobiological understanding of psychopathology remains a goal for the future. Nevertheless, treatments for psychological disorders continue to improve dramatically. Your reading this week provides you with a neurobiological view of this progress in three major categories of psychiatric illness: schizophrenia, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. Discussion Prompt (1): Summarize the evidence for AND against the use of SSRIs in the treatment of depression. Explain why the use of SSRIs are controversial. Discussion Prompt (2): After watching the video under “Week 7 Multimedia: Mental Disorders as Brain Disorders…”, define and explain the three reasons why neuropsychiatric disorders have the highest rate for disability from medical causes. Respond to at least two of your classmates postings. Your responses should show that you have given thought to what the original post said. They should also push the conversation forward, offer insights, or ask clarifying questions if necessary.h

Emotions have been described as the threads that hold mental life together; our understanding of ourselves, our environment, and those around us are woven together in a quilt of life experiences that allows us to organize behavior in adaptive ways. Emotions are very personal and subject to so many subtle variations in expression and intensity. Theories of emotion have emphasized the relationship between physiological arousal states and cognitive perception of emotions, but the relationship between the two remains uncertain. The James-Lange theory argues that stimuli give rise to specific arousal patterns that we perceive as distinct emotions; the Cannon-Bard theory argues that stimuli give rise to distinct arousal and cognitive states simultaneously; and Schachters theory proposes that stimuli provoke nonspecific arousal that is cognitively labeled on the basis of situational cues. Discussion Prompt (1): Describe the results of Schacter and Singers experiment and explain what these findings suggest about how autonomic reactions, emotional experience and cognitive processing are related. Discussion Prompt (2): After watching the video under “Week 6 Multimedia: Consciousness — Crash Course Psychology #8”, explain what you believe to be consciousness. Do you believe that everything we think is simply an electrical and chemical reaction in the brain, or is there more. Explain how spirituality may play a role in consciousness .

**SEE THE APA, EXAMPLE PAPER PREPARATION ASSIGNMENT, AND GRADING RUBRIC BELOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN** Pick from the following classification of psychotropic medications and then choose a drug within that classification. Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, Atypical Antidepressants TCAs, MAOIs) Anxiolytics Antipsychotics Psychostimulants Mood stabilizers Off-label medications that treat symptomologies of mental health conditions The week two assignment is due Sunday of week two. Your week two assignment should be a minimum of three pages and more than five in length (this does not include the cover and reference pages). Your assignment must include the following APA requirements: Cover page Times New Roman 12 font only Subheadings In-text citations Page numbers Double spaced Reference page Instructions: I’d like you to please develop a thesis statement that will drive your assignment topic. You can find examples in the APUS library or the announcements area of the classroom. Topic: Select one of the psychotropic classifications of interest from the list above and choose a drug. Provide the history and brief background of the chosen psychotropic, what it is used for, how it works (i.e., mechanism of action), receptor sites the drug targets, and the drugs primary effect. Discuss the subclassification (e.g., if you choose fluoxetine, an antidepressant, its subclassification is an SSRI; therefore, you will discuss the background of SSRIs) of the psychotropic and provide a critical analysis of why it is used over other drugs (or if it is not commonly used, explain why). Also, provide if the FDA approves the drug and, if so, the date and the Agencys approved use. If the FDA did not approve it, explain why and if it is used for non-FDA drug use (i.e., off-label). Also, ensure to include side effects, adverse effects, and contraindications or drug-to-drug interactions of the psychotropic. Further, discuss how the drug impacts children, adolescents, and older adults and how to minimize complications of the drugs based on the population. Finally, provide a conclusion on the importance of the drug and how it is essential to the clinical psychological and psychopharmacology fields. You must include at least four peer-reviewed sources to support and substantiate your work. If you use additional resources, they must be academically grounded and scholarly. All sources must be within five years or newer. Annotated Bibliography: For this portion, students must identify four peer-reviewed journals or other journals with reliable information (do not use sources from the secular press, i.e., Psychology Today, Simply Psychology, Very Well Mind, Time, Newsweek, Parent’s Today, etc.). Ask your instructor if it is an acceptable source when in doubt. In these journals, the research and information are either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for the Harvard Business Review) or a group of peers (such as in many journals you find through the APU online library). Research cannot be older than 5 years. Nonetheless, the annotated bibliography should include the purpose of the study, method, significant findings, and significance to the field. Therefore, your assignment should have the three subheadings: Topic Thesis Statement Annotated Bibliography Again, please see the attached template for assistance with how to formulate your paper. NOTE: Sources such as WebMD, Wikipedia, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Cherry, Psychology Today, Simply Psychology, Parents Day, news articles, op-eds, blogs, and encyclopedias are not scholarly sources and should not be used. When in doubt, ask your professor if it is an acceptable source. In these journals, the research and information are either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for the Harvard Business Review) or a group of peers (such as in many journals you find through the APU online library). This assignment aims to assist you in developing research analysis skills, including critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. This paper must be written through a biological lens. Meaning a discussion of the genetic/biological origin and treatments is required. Do not include non-biologically-based treatment methods such as counseling, therapy, support groups, etc. Use this website to assist you with the correct APA format and to see annotated bibliography examples and samples attached. Also, there is an APA template uploaded for this assignment.

In the Media Review Project you will be asked to review a media that incorporates domestic violence in their plot.

1. Select a film that depicts domestic violence. Alternatively, you may select a book or television show instead of a movie. Regardless of the medium of choice, it cannot be older than 5 years. For example, Enough (2002) came out in 2002 – this is too old. Your medium must have come out in 2015 or after.
2. After you have selected a film, television show, or movie, identify one character (victim of domestic violence) who will be the focus of your paper.
3. Compose a 6-8 page paper (not including title or reference page) which addresses the items listed in the rubric attached to this assignment. It is also provided below for easy reference.
