If we are asked to prepare our own studies, does it have to be a lab/field experiment? Or could it be something like a questionnaire? I looked at the 2010 paper where this came up and it specified 'plan a lab or field exp.' but otherwise, are we free to do what we want, or should we assume it has to be an experiment?
Thanks for any help! Could do with clearing this up!

You know for the DSM, is 4 points each enough for reliability, validity & cultural issues. is 3 studies enough for each one?

it could be any of the methods we're asked to revise.
unless it specifies, obv.
as long as you include an aim, hypotheses, groups design, procedure, thical considerations, how results are analysed (inc. statistical test) and evaluation. where nessacary (i cant spell that! xD)

How much do we need to know for the key issue for clinical " the way the media portrays mental illness"
Do we need to evaluate this? Thank you!!

Serotonin is a neurochemical that is linked closely with eating and anorexia and a lower amount of serotonin activity at the synapse can lead to abnormal eating patterns. And a typical symptom of anorexia is prolonged periods of not eating (restrictive anorexia) which therefore could be explained by lower serotonin activity at the synapse.

Anorexia can be treated with prozac, a drug that raises serotonin levels at the synapse which supports that fact that serotonin plays a part in anorexia.

Anorexics are typically also depressed and a typical symptom of depression are lower levels of monomines (serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine) and depression is also treated with prozac.

Does anyone have any notes on the biological treatment for schizophrenia (anti psychotic drugs) I've looked through all my materials but my revision notes only come to about a page,or is this enough?
