Project #2 – Exploring Mental Illness

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate comprehension of basic healthcare management concepts appropriate to the role of a healthcare professional.
2. Evaluate current healthcare issues.

Chapter 9 discussed the scope and distribution of the most frequently occurring mental illness diagnoses. In this activity, you will learn more about one mental illness of your choice.

Instructions:

1. Choose a mental illness listed in Chapter 9 which you are curious about and would like to explore. Make sure you are choosing one specific disorder and not a general category of disorders. For example, mood disorders would need to be narrowed down to one type of mood disorder, such as bipolar disorder.
2. Research your chosen mental illness and fill in
5. Once you save the document you will be able to type directly into the chart. You may use bullet points within the response area of the chart instead of complete sentences, but make sure your responses thoroughly answer the requirements. Some answers will be much longer than others.
6. You may use your book, but you will need to research on the Internet to accurately complete the chart. I have included a few helpful websites, but you are not limited to these websites.
7. Once you have completed the chart, save your document and upload it through the assignment in myBPCC/Canvas.

*CITE your sources. Scroll down to review the submission guidelines. Failure to cite sources will result in an overall grade of ZERO.
