Depression: The Effects Of Drugs And Prescription

Running head: THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND DEPRESSION1

The Effects of Drugs and Depression Following the American Psychological Association's Guidelines Joe K. Gerb Bergen Community College

THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND DEPRESSION2 Abstract

A person may be suffering from depressive symptoms and use narcotics with the hope of acquiring some kind of relief. Depressive symptoms can develop as a result of using mind altering substances or as part of withdrawal symptoms when taking breaks from drugs. Low mood in withdrawal can be short and self–limiting, though sometimes it may lead to a very serious and prolonged depressive illness. A person will take drugs to escape or forget a problem in...show more content...

This can make it difficult to tell precisely which drug is affecting an individual's emotions. Doctors do, however, have a pretty good idea of what each narcotic can do due to research in individuals that have taken one drug at a time.

THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND DEPRESSION4 Abstract

In order to be able to treat a person with depression effectively, doctors have to sort out what kind of role the narcotics may play in the depression. If the feelings of depression is simply a part of a withdrawal due to a narcotic and are only something temporary, it is very unlikely that a antidepressant will be of any benefit. Antidepressants take a bare minimum of two to three weeks to begin working. The most effective treatment in such a case would be to try and help the person at hand to get their drug use under control or stop entirely. Both taking drugs and the withdrawal process may produce depressive symptoms themselves, makingit very difficult to know what it is that's exactly going on, if it even seems that the depression led to taking drugs in the first place. As a result, It's extremely vital to the treatment of the individual that the problem with narcotics is sorted out so that is will be possible to further judge whether antidepressants or other treatments used for depression will be needed. This, of course, does not mean it's

American Psychological Association (APA) writing style exists for a reason and this reason is because writers' must give "credibility where credibility is due"(Walden Writing Center, 2015) . During my BSW program I learned this and also, the importance of integrity in college level writing. In my opinion, two aspects of APA that I think will not challenge me are direct quotations and listing references. I have to admit I prefer to quote intellecutual matter directly rather than, use paraphazing. I believe this is approriate to do if the quote you utilize is short and all of your agrguments regarding, the content of the quote, are your own ideas. Another thing that will come easily to me is listing my references. This comes easily to me because during my undergraduate education, I excelled in this area. The reason for this is because everytime I wrote a reference page I always refered to my courses APA manual.

Eventhough I have had a through exposure to APA, it has been a year since I have utilized thiswriting style. Also, my current position does not require the use of APA. Therefore, a saying comes to mind "if you don't use it you lose it". Currently, this is my situation. As a result, Walden University's module on Passive Plagarism...show more content...

As I stated earlier, I prefer to avoid paraphazing in my writing. The reason for this is because the arguments I construst in my papers are straight forward, to the point, and my own ideas. Also, gradewise, I did not get penalized for this in my BSW program. However, Walden Univerisity's Passive Plagarism module taught me that it is ok to directly quote material, but paraphazing is strongly prefered in college level writing. During my Master of social work program, I will utilize more paraphazing in my papers. On the same note, quoting directly can be considered a more systematic approach to APA

Woo hoo! What a bonus! Margins and Fonts 4 Margins and fonts. The top, bottom, left, and right margins should be one inch. Use 12point font. You should use a conservative, serif font type (e.g., Times New Roman, Cambria). By the way, serif font means that each letter has a little ledge to stand on. Sans (i.e., without) serif fonts (e.g., Helvetica, Calibri, and Arial) should not be used (except in tables and figures) because they are more difficult to read and increase eyestrain (bummer!). Do not use script fonts because some are just annoying (e.g., Braggadocia) while others are hard to take serious (e.g., Comic Sans). Paragraphs and Spacing Paragraphs should be indented 5–7 spaces or 1/2 inch. Make sure your indent is consistent throughout the whole paper. The best way to do this is to use the tab key on your computer. All 'sub–sub' (Hey, I got to say it again) headings should be indented the same as other paragraphs.

APA FORMAT EXAMPLE Citations and the Reference Section If a document you cite has only one or two authors, then cite it like so (Knowitall & Allknowing, 2002; Urkel, 1998). Notice that I used a semi–colon to separate the two different citations. Also, the citations are in alphabetical order within the parentheses (i.e., "Knowitall & 5 Allknowing" came before "Urkel"). If there are three to five authors, then cite all the authors and date (Letterman, Leno, O'Brian, & Plunkett, 2005). If you use the same source cite again that has

Hey Marquitta, I really enjoyed reading your post. I agree with you when you say that poverty is looked upon as the lowest part of life because it is. Society today is so caught up on their lives, and how they can get ahead, that they forget about the forgotten. The forgotten could be that neighbor who needs food, to the homeless man you see every day on your way to work, or that side of town that is living in poverty. Ilove how you state that Mike experience showed what it truly means to rely on God, and that is so true. Most of the time, people only rely on God doing the bad times, but we should always rely on him doing the good, and the bad times.

At this point, you should now be able to summarize your evaluations and connect it to your research report. Do not forget to emphasize its contribution to the field, as well. Again, avoid subjective assessments that you cannot justify. End your critique with an APA formatted reference list. Remember to use the heading "References," not "Bibliography," or "Works Cited." Also, do not put the font in bold. Center the word at the top of the page, like what you will see on the next page. Also recheck your parenthetical and in–text citations and make sure they match with your references list to avoid unintended plagiarism. Make sure your reference list is alphabetized and properly indented. Word count of this dummy critique: 458 words excluding

Running Head: WRITING A FORMAL LAB REPORT Writing a Formal Lab Report Using APA Format Michael Betco AP Physics 1

ChangZhou Senior High School of Jiangsu Province 1 WRITING A FORMAL LAB REPORT 2 Abstract WRITING A FORMAL LAB REPORT 3 Writing a Formal Lab Report Using APA Format This introduction is also often referred to as the 'purpose' or 'plan' section. It should include two main categories: Purpose (or Objective) This part of the experiment expressed clearly in only one or two sentences, including the main method used to accomplish the purpose. Ex: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the percentage by mass of acetic acid in vinegar using acid/base titration. The purpose is also sometimes written as a separate...show more content...

A small difference would indicate that the percentage calculated was very close to the actual percentage and the purpose was accomplished. If the purpose was not achieved, prove this by the results in a similar fashion. Relate the results to those of other, similar experiments. Depending on the nature of the experiment and the instructor's preferences, you may want to compare your results to those of the rest of the class. If your results were similar to the others', this can be an indication that they were reasonably accurate. If they were very different, explain why they may have been different. Conclusion This section includes only one or two sentences that summarize definitive conclusions from the results. Here is an example of a conclusion for the acetic acid experiment used in earlier examples: WRITING A FORMAL LAB REPORT 7 From a comparison of the results of the experimental calculations with the normal value for percent acetic acid in vinegar, it can be concluded that the percentage of acetic acid in the sample used in this experiment was about 4.982%. Notice how the conclusion relates directly to the main objective of finding the percentage of acetic acid in the given sample of vinegar. The conclusion also justifies itself based on the results; the actual
