Evaluating Media Coverage of Psychological Disorders (Auto-Feedback)

The news media sometimes report on psychological disorders accurately. Other times the media may report about psychological disorders in ways that may underemphasize biological influences or reinforce cultural myths.
Locate a media report on a psychological disorder and evaluate the quality of the media coverage. In your answer, compare and contrast the article’s description of the disorder with psychology’s official definition, on areas such as symptoms, duration or course. Then, describe to what extent the reporter underemphasized biological influences or reinforced cultural myths.
To help ensure the auto-feedback system will function properly, your response must contain a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 1000 words, though individual prompts or your instructor may provide a more precise target range for word count. Your response will be automatically reviewed by the system, and you will receive your grade after your instructor reviews and returns the scores. Your response should not contain in-text parenthetical citations or other special headers or formatting.
