Borderline Personality Disorder
I chose this podcast because not only does it discuss a very interesting and often rare psychological disorder, but it also highlights the importance of a correct diagnosis from a professional. A misdiagnosis can delay somebody’s treatment and recovery, and can also be very dangerous and possibly life threatening. |
Bipolar Disorder in Young Adults
This podcast relates to the issue of getting a correct diagnosis because it talks about bipolar disorder, which is often difficult to diagnose in young adults. This disorder is often mistaken for teenage mood-swings or hormone changes, which can negatively impact the patient throughout their life. |
Psychology Today
I chose to subscribe to Psychology Today because it seems like a very informative website. It has links to connect its users to therapists, posts popular and ‘essential’ articles, and has a search bar that lets you find articles relating to any given topic. |
Science Daily
I subscribed to Science Daily because it is a science based website and it has links to many pages that are specifically aimed psychological disorders. Science Daily seems very reliable and is updated often, so I believe it is a good resource to use. |
