Assignment:

You will address 'mini-review' of one mental illness. The goals of the paper are to: 1) Make you familiar with finding, reading and synthesizing peer-reviewed scientific articles; 2) Enhance your ability to critically evaluate scientific articles by incorporating the articles into a cohesive narrative around the topic; 3) Practice succinct scientific writing and using the right style citations (including in-text citations); and 4) Increase your knowledge on the neurobiological aspects of a mental illness.

Mental illnesses and brain-based disorders you can choose to address about for the final paper (pick only one):

Schizophrenia
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
General anxiety disorder (GAD)
Major depressive disorder (MDD)
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Bipolar disorder
Substance use disorder (SUD)
Pick an addictive substance (cocaine, alcohol, amphetamines, opioids, nicotine, etc.)
Alzheimer's Disease
Parkinson's disease
Stroke
Traumatic brain injury
Epilepsy

These are broad topics and it may be easier to narrow down a specific aspect of the topic you want to present about. For example, you might be interested in how schizophrenia presents in males vs. females, or you might want to focus on MDD in adolescence.
