Manic depression

After the watching the documentary boy interrupted you should have a very good picture of what bi-polar disorder looks like.. Take some time to discuss the signs and symptoms of bi-polar disorder that were shown in the film. Give some examples. Also, discuss if you feel this disorder is more nature or nature and given reasons why you feel this way. Finally tell me what you would do if you were the parent of a child like this... I know your not, but one day you could be. So give me a few of your thoughts. You guys are great, sorry I am a bit late posting. I look forward to teaching you tomorrow have a great evening.

OCD

Today in class we watched a documentary that followed two individuals that suffered from OCD. Tell me what where their compulsions and rituals are, give examples from the documentary of how they reduced their anxiety, and what effects this disease had on their life as well as others that were close to them. Also explain Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Therapy.
