Annotated Bibliography Topic Chosen From The List Provided Name S

Identify a mental disorder category from the DSM-5, select two recent scholarly articles (within the last five years) related to that disorder, and write an annotated bibliography. Your annotations should include a summary of each article’s purpose, major points, research methods, findings, conclusions, limitations, and an analysis evaluating the credibility, evidence, bias, and alignment with your understanding of the disorder.

Paper For Above instruction

Developing an in-depth understanding of mental disorders requires engagement with current scholarly research, especially to comprehend their origins, diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches, and societal perceptions. This annotated bibliography involves selecting a mental disorder from the DSM-5 and analyzing two recent peer-reviewed journal articles that illuminate various aspects of that disorder, including its history, theoretical frameworks, demographic differences, impacts on individuals and families, and social perceptions.

The first step in creating this annotated bibliography is choosing a disorder such as depressive disorders or anxiety disorders. Once the topic is selected, the next phase involves conducting research within the South University Online Library to locate three scholarly articles related to specific subtopics: the origins/history of the disorder, psychological theories associated with diagnosis and treatment, demographic variations (age and gender), impact on individuals and families, and societal perceptions including stigma and advocacy. These articles form the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the disorder from multiple perspectives.

For each of the two selected articles, a detailed annotation is required. The annotation must include a thorough summary that describes the article’s purpose—why it was written—and major points, such as the key findings or theoretical contributions. If the article is an empirical study, the methods section should detail the participants, research design, data collection tools (e.g., surveys, interviews, tests), and analytical techniques. The results should encapsulate what the researchers discovered, followed by the conclusions drawn and limitations acknowledged by the authors.

Following the summary, a critical analysis evaluates the points made by the author(s). This involves assessing whether the arguments are logical, well-supported by evidence, and free from bias. The analysis should consider whether alternative perspectives or explanations were addressed and whether the conclusions align with existing literature and your understanding of the disorder, referencing your textbook and other scholarly sources where appropriate.

All references used, including the articles being annotated, must follow APA format with a hanging indent. The entire assignment should be formatted professionally, demonstrating clear academic writing, proper spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. The final product comprises a title page, the annotated bibliography entries, and a references page, totaling approximately 1000 words, with appropriate citations throughout.
