characteristic(s) that all the disorders in the category share. (Example: in the Depressive
disorders, all the disorders are characterized by feelings of sadness.)
Disorders – For each disorder in the category, write one or two sentences that provide a brief
descriiption of the disorder. In the Overview, you noticed what is similar across the disorders in
the category; in the Disorders section, you will identify the main feature of each disorder that
distinguishes it from the rest of the category (e.g., time frames, severity, types of symptoms, etc.)
Risk and Prognostic Factors – Choose one disorder from each category and provide a brief
summary of the risk and prognostic factors as found in the DSM-5.
You will organize each summary by using the current edition of APA headings. Start each
summary with the category title using a Level 1 APA heading. Overview, Disorders and Risk
and Prognostic Factors should be Level 2 headings.
