Mental Illness or Developmental Disorder Presentation: Outli…

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 (things the person would tell you) and Signs (things you would see about the person)
• 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)

EXAMPLE OUTLINE

An example of what your outline COULD look like. None of you have to use this and I suggest not copying it completely. This is just an example to get you started. You would get it started like below, and add info for each remaining slide. I only added 5 so you had an idea.

Introduction

• An overall discussion of what your selected topic. Including information pertinent to what you plan on discussing.

Slide 1: Symptoms

• Provide an brief overview of what your presentation will discuss when you get to this slide.

Stage 2: Treatments

• Again, a brief overview of treatments you plan on discussing (you do not have to get into any in-depth detail for any of these slides.
• Example of brief:
• CBT, Pain Management, Chiropractic Adjustments (you would go more in-depth about each treatment type in your presentation)

Stage 3: Effect on day-to-fay Function

• Provide different information and examples on how someone with your illness if affected daily
• Example:
• Frequent pain, difficult time finding jobs which require extensive physical activity, etc.

Stage 4: Etiology

• Brief overview of the etiology of your topic.
• Keep in mind, your outline for the presentation only has to BRIEFLY state what you plan on presenting. YOUR PRESENTATION WILL HAVE TO MATCH YOUR OUTLINE

Conclusion

• Summary of the presentation and what you discussed about your topic
