Click on the mental health worksheet attachment, the anxiety and mood disorder attachment, and use the internt to fill out the mental health worksheet.

#4 - Based on what you've learned so far, and the information provided in these websites, write your own case study. The subject of the case study can be a friend or a relative, but not necessarily. If you choose someone you know use FIRST NAME ONLY! You choose the disorder, either an anxiety or mood disorder, create a medical situation, and some possible solutions to help the person. Your case study should be 3 paragraphs long, size 12 font, double-spaced in Microsoft word. The names of the members in your group, and your class period should be on the top of the paper.  The first paragragh will be a description of the person in the case study. Provide a description of their behavior, and it must be consistent with their disorder. The second paragraph will be a description of their disorder, and it should match up with their behavior. The third paragraph will be a plan to help the person--the type of health professional they should visit and possible steps to take to help the person in the case study. 

#5 - After completion of each of the above tasks the group will need to print out all work and remember to staple all of the group work together.
