Step 1: Learning about Psychological Disorders

The first step in writing our Diagnosis Essay is to learn about some possible psychological disorders. We will focus on three of them: Depression, Anxiety, & Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. You will read an informational packet on each of them and will text code in the following way:

• __________ = important information
• * =something that sounds like Holden
• ? = something you don't understand
• ! = something that surprises you

After you have read and text coded your packed, you will go back and take notes on the most important information. Get green notes sheets from Heather.
