• What are the specific biological mechanisms associated with each diagnosis?
• How would each diagnosis be explained by a major psychological theory other than biological theory (e.g., cognitive-behavioral)?
• Could each disorder be better understood by the combination of both biological theory and another perspective? If not, why not? If so, which other perspective is best? Why?
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
