Psychological Disorder Presentation

The current Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V) categorizes, defines, and discusses all presently recognized psychological disorders. You will choose one disorder to research and present to the class. You should have a minimum of three scholarly resources (in addition to the DSM and not including internet sources such as Wikipedia). You will create ahandout including diagnostic criteria, signs/symptoms, statistics, and appropriate therapies or interventions. Additional information of interest to you may also be included. Along with the handout, be prepared to present your topic to classmates. In addition to the textbook and the DSM-V, a minimum of three scholarly resources must be used to inform your research and presentation.
