Article Evaluations

The training for the evaluations and sandbox were hard to follow. I seem to be having a more difficult time with these past training modules. I am sill quite unsure how the Sandbox can be specific to the article or article(s) being reviewed and edited. I have even gone back and reviewed from the first module of the sandbox and to the current one as well. I will review the links that the professor provided to hopefully find more clarity in what the assignment actually is and how to complete it correctly. (I DID NOT SEE ANY FOLLOWUP TO THIS COMMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT WAS TO USE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN TRAINING TO EVALUATE AN ARTICLE OF YOUR CHOICE ON WIKIPEDIA. YOU WERE TO WRITE ABOUT THAT ARTICLE HERE, IN YOUR SANDBOX. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS.)(

-Information in the Mood Disorder article flows very well, and links are provided,

looked into "Talk" page in reference to some questions regarding the article, information in the talk page is out of date and edits have been made, edits have not taken place for this article in years.MOOD DISORDER ARTICLE EDITS

- Discuss in "Treatment" section what determines the type of treatment, I'M LIKING THE PLAN YOU HAVE DEVELOPED SO FAR. I LEFT SOME COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ON YOUR BLOG ENTRY FOR HOW TO FIND ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND A POSSIBLE WAY TO ADDRESS EDITING THIS SECTION. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!

* Added to "Treatment" Section: In determining treatment, two different depression scales are used most frequently. One of the depression scales is a self report scale called Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the second is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). HAMD is a clinical rating scale in which the patient is rated based on clinician observation.

Final Updates:

In determining treatment, there are many types of depression scales that are used. One of the depression scales is a self-report scale called Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Another scale is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). HAMD is a clinical rating scale in which the patient is rated based on clinician observation. [Kim, Eun Young, Hwang, Samuel Suk-Hyun, Lee, Nam Young, Kim, Se Hyun, Lee, Hyun Jeong, Kim, Yong Sik, & Ahn, Yong Min. (2013). Intelligence, temperament, and personality are related to over- or under-reporting of affective symptoms by patients with euthymic mood disorder. Journal of Affective Disorders, 148(2-3), 235-242.] The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a scale for depression symptoms that applies to the general population. This scale is typically used in research and not for self-reports. The PHQ-9 which stands for Patient-Health Questionnaire-9 questions, is a self-report as well. Finally, the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) evaluates bipolar disorder. [Source: Choi, S., Schalet, B., Cook, K., Cella, D., & Reynolds, Cecil R. (2014).
