Step 1: Identify a misconception or myth about a psychological disorder(s).
– Some examples of a misconception include individuals who have Schizophrenia are more dangerous; individuals with Bipolar cannot hold steady jobs; mental health disorders are a result of a character flaw and people can “snap out of it”; it’s impossible to prevent a mental health condition.
– You can review lectures and slides that went over “myths versus reality” to help you delve deeper and decide.
Step 2: Identify 2 peer-reviewed articles that address your topic.

Step 3: Create a PowerPoint (or another similar type of video presentation) of 10-15 minutes in length.
– Include your selected misconception.
– Summarize, compare, and contrast the findings with your textbook and peer-reviewed articles in a PowerPoint presentation.
– Provide a possible solution to address your topic based on your research.
– Conclude with what was learned from your research.
– Include a reference page at the end – cite all sources according to APA.
Step 4: Record the presentation with audio (again: keep it to a 10-15-minute maximum). You may include a video of yourself as well, though this is not required.
