Brain & Behavior Discussion

To prepare for this Discussion: Select a specific disorder from those covered in Brain and Behavior and review information about the biological causes, symptoms, and treatment of that disorder. Consult the web links provided for each of the disorders covered by the text to identify the DSM diagnostic criteria for the condition. Reference the Learning Resources to understand how the condition is diagnosed and what is known about the biological basis of this condition. Discussion Post Post a description of the disorder you chose, including the biological features that are typically observed, such as changes in brain activity level, differences in brain structure, or abnormalities in neurotransmitters. Then describe how disorders are diagnosed in general by the DSM and the specific criteria used to diagnose your chosen disorder. Is there any relationship between the way the textbook describes the disorder and the way the DSM describes the disorder? Finally, based on the biological information in the textbook and what you know of the DSM-5R project, propose and write a new set of diagnostic criteria that incorporates the biological information discussed in the textbook. This should be 1–2 paragraphs and it should summarize what you think are the most important biological factors (brain regions, neurotransmitters, or genes) that are associated with your chosen condition. Finally, discuss why you think that this is not already included in the DSM. Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text citations and complete references in APA format.
