• What is the mental illness/disorder?

• How does it affect a person? (Physically, mentally, socially, with family, work.)

• What are common signs and symptoms?

• What are common behaviors of people with these conditions?

• Are treatments available? If so, what are they?

• Is there a cause for this disorder? Is it genetic?

• What sort of therapy/medical options are there for someone living with this disorder?

• Describe what life is like for a person with this condition.

Explore your topic and go with it where your interest takes you!
