This week, your assignment is an academic research project. Using the Human Services Counseling Library Guide as your primary search tool, you’ll create an informational brochure about the psychotropic medication of your choice. Your brochure should contain the following information:
a. Drug name and category
b. What does this medication treat?
c. How does the drug work? What functions in the brain does it impact?
d. What are the benefits of the drug? What are the dangers?
e. What are the common side effects?
f. What (if any) abuse potential does this drug have?
g. Other information that you find interesting about the drug.
You can create this brochure electronically, or using materials at home. Please use at least 3 academic sources, which you’ll also submit as a Bibliography.
In the Assignment Dropbox, you’ll submit BOTH your brochure (worth 100 points — if you create it at home, you can take photos of it or scan it, and upload those documents) and a separate bibliography (worth 20 points as this week’s assignment). Be sure to upload both documents before clicking “submit”, because you will not be able to access your assignment after submitting it.
