Using some of the same resources you used to research topic ideas, begin researching your topic. Research, organize, and start to outline the following information:

• Symptoms
• Treatments
• Effect on day-to-day function
• Etiology (Who is likely to get this disorder? Age, gender, ethnicity, risk factors, etc.)
• Typical age of onset
• Prognosis (What is thought to be happening in the brain of the individual of the disorder?)
• Healthcare issues/challenges to providing health care to individuals with this illness or disorder
• What health care providers should keep in mind when working with patients with this mental illness or disorder
• Celebrity photo and/or movie that reflects someone with the illness or disorder (short videos, less than 1 minute in length may be embedded)
