Annotation: Petry NM, Zajac K, Ginley MK. Behavioral Addictions as Mental Disorders: To Be or Not To Be? Annu Rev Clin Psychol. 2018 May 7;14:399-423. doi: 10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-032816-045120. PMID: 29734827; PMCID: PMC5992581.

According to the CRAAP test, since the primary researcher, Dr. Nancy Petry, completed the study in 2018, it is considered to be a current study. The study's source was also completed in 2018. According to the source, addiction results in hyperactivity and troubles within the family, both of which are crucial and connected to the primary subject that was selected. Due to the fact that Dr. Petry and her colleagues are all medical professionals and specialists in their area, they have the legitimacy to speak on the topic at hand. As a result of the fact that this study is founded on medical facts, more specifically in the field of psychology, the data that I will be using to support my points are both believable and scientifically sound. The study also discusses and conducts research on a variety of other medical issues, such as how the use of social media might affect one's mental health. Due to the fact that it presents a variety of scientific results and hypotheses, this resource may be beneficial to both students and educators. During the course of my study for my bachelor's degree on the impact of technology on the mental health of people of varying ages, I came across this website. The website is trustworthy, making it a popular destination for anyone looking for research that is simple to access. This is the spot to visit if you want to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of using social media and other forms of technology. Comment by Joshua Carter: This sentence needs to be reworded for clarity. Comment by Joshua Carter: Good job mentioning the credibility of the source. Comment by Joshua Carter: This last sentence should be your thesis statement in which you would identify if this source is credible or not and useful for your paper.

Is it appropriate to label a person with a mental disorder if they engage in excessive and problematic usage of a substance that is not a drug? The DSM-5 classifies gambling disorder as a drug use disorder, and Internet gaming disorder has been included to the research appendix. ICD-11 is also contemplating adding gambling disorder to its list of mental diseases. This article discusses both the advantages and disadvantages of treating behavioral addictions as mental illnesses, which are both explored elements of the issue. This book covers topics like online gambling disorder, internet addiction, and internet gambling problem (IA). This page describes psychiatric implications, demographic and biological risk factors, therapy approaches that show promise, and evaluation techniques used to determine prevalence rates. In addition, there is a brief discussion of behavioral addictions such as sexual activity, physical activity, shopping, and tanning. Before these illnesses may be recognized as mental disorders, further research is required to identify and analyze them in greater detail. Comment by Joshua Carter: This rhetoric is something I'd expect in your paper, but for this source evaluation it seems out of place. Comment by Joshua Carter: The first time you introduce an acronym you need to spell it out. Comment by Joshua Carter: Good examples from the article to support your paper. Comment by Joshua Carter: I would like to see a summary sentence here of this paragraph.

CRAAP test. Comment by Joshua Carter: This does not appear to be a conclusion to your source evaluation.

Consider how relevant the material is to the task at hand in order to evaluate how valuable it will be to you. It is essential to have a clear understanding of the sort of audience or level of competence that the information is meant for. Explain why you would or would not utilize this informational source in your work and why you made those decisions. Make a decision about whether or not the information's release date is acceptable for the project you are working on.

Reflection Questions Comment by Joshua Carter: These are the incorrect reflection questions.

1. How can I know who created/authored/sourced/publishes the content? Do you know anything about the author's background or affiliations?

To find out who published the content, I went through the copyright information in the footer of this article. Also, on many websites that use both contributors and staff writers, the name of the article's author is often shown at the beginning or end of the piece. Your quest for an author should begin right here, since this is the ideal place to begin.

2. Is the subject matter knowledge of the author relevant? Are they an expert on the subject because of their education, training, or work experience?

All of the doctors that make up Dr. Petry's team are experts in their fields, and as such, they are qualified to comment on the subject at hand. Given that my research is based on medical truths, especially in the area of psychology, my evidence to support my arguments is both credible and scientifically sound.

3. How can we ensure that all voices and perspectives are being heard?

It's helpful to ask yourself the acronym "CRAAP" questions to help you determine the validity of a source. Use this method to judge whether or not a source is reputable and relevant to your study. Dr. Nancy Petry, the principal investigator of the study, finished it in 2018, making it eligible for inclusion in the CRAAP database as a current project. The study's source was finished in 2018 as well. Sources claim that addiction causes hyperactivity in the individual as well as difficulties in their personal and family lives.
