Hi Jiskha Instructors,
I am having a real difficult time finding answers to my five questions. Is there someone who can help point me in the right direction to credible or reputable website sources? Or answer these five questions. I need a credible website!
1) Describe bi-polar disorder in two ways: clinically (objectively) and emotionally (subjectively).
2) Compare and contrast biologically and psychologically based treatment for each.
3) Compare and contrast biologically and psychologically based treatment for each.
4) Does the approach make a difference when the depression is viewed objectively vs. subjectively?
5) Why or why not?
Thanks
Hello,
I can definitely help you find credible and reputable website sources to answer your questions. Here are some suggestions:
1) Clinical and subjective descriptions of bipolar disorder:
You can visit the websites of reputable organizations such as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) or the American Psychiatric Association for objective information on bipolar disorder. Here are their websites:
- NIMH: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/bipolar-disorder/index.shtml
- American Psychiatric Association: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/bipolar-disorders/what-are-bipolar-disorders
For subjective experiences and emotional perspectives, you can explore support forums or personal blogs of individuals who have bipolar disorder. Websites such as PsychCentral (https://psychcentral.com/) or Verywell Mind (https://www.verywellmind.com/) may have articles or personal stories that provide subjective insights.
2) Comparing and contrasting biological and psychological treatments for bipolar disorder:
To find information about biological treatments, you can check reputable medical websites such as Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/) or WebMD (https://www.webmd.com/). They often provide information on medications commonly used in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
For psychological treatments, you can refer to the American Psychological Association (APA) website (https://www.apa.org/), which has resources on psychotherapy approaches for bipolar disorder.
3) Comparing and contrasting biological and psychological treatments for each:
I apologize, but this question seems to be a duplication of the previous one. If you have another question, please let me know and I'll be happy to assist you.
4) Does the approach make a difference when the depression is viewed objectively vs. subjectively?
For an objective understanding of this question, it would be helpful to refer to scientific articles or research studies related to bipolar disorder treatment. The website of PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) could be a good resource to find relevant research studies by searching for keywords such as "bipolar disorder treatment" or "treatment approaches for bipolar disorder."
5) Why or why not?
To understand the reasons why the approach may or may not make a difference, it would be beneficial to examine literature reviews or scholarly articles that discuss treatment outcomes and effectiveness. Websites like Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) or JSTOR (https://www.jstor.org/) can provide access to scientific journals and publications.
Remember to critically evaluate the information you find and consider the credibility and reliability of the sources. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Hello,
I can definitely help you find credible and reputable website sources to answer your questions. When looking for credible information online, it is important to rely on reputable sources such as government health websites, academic publications, and well-known organizations specializing in mental health. Here's how you can approach finding answers to your questions:
1) Begin by searching for reputable websites that provide information on bipolar disorder. Reliable sources may include websites of well-established organizations like the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Mayo Clinic, or the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Explore their webpages dedicated to bipolar disorder to find objective and subjective descriptions.
2) For the comparison between biologically and psychologically based treatment, you can look for articles or research papers from journals or publications specializing in psychology, psychiatry, or mental health. Websites like the NIMH or the APA often publish research papers and articles that discuss different treatment approaches.
3) Similarly, for the second question, you may search for research articles, journals, or publications that compare and contrast the effectiveness of biological and psychological treatments for bipolar disorder. Psychiatric journals or publications focused on bipolar disorder treatment would be good sources.
4) To explore whether the approach makes a difference between objective and subjective views of depression, you might want to look for research papers or articles that specifically discuss this topic. Psychology or psychiatry journals that focus on mood disorders may contain relevant studies.
5) The "why or why not" aspect of your last question would likely require you to read articles, research papers, or expert opinions on the topic. Look for sources that address the influence of subjective or objective perspectives on the efficacy of depression treatment. Academic databases like PubMed or PsychINFO can be useful for finding such sources.
Remember to critically assess the information you find and prioritize sources from reputable organizations or peer-reviewed publications. If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask!
