Which article are you evaluating?
Psychosis

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have always had a lust for knowledge when it comes to the brain. The reason I chose this are is not only because it's a topic I enjoy, but because I have had the chance to work with a child who has been diagnosed with psychosis. In my field of work I provided service to kids with autism. The reason it matters is because this could easily break a person from a societal standpoint. I would love to not only gain more knowledge on the subject, but also share what knowledge I have obtain with others.

Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph is very strong and concise. It gives just enough details to allow the reader to get an understanding of what to expect, but not enough that the reader won't have to read the article.

In the lead paragraphing, statistical values were mentioned, but as you go throughout the paper there is never any mentioning of statistical values. This, to me, is a very important aspect to include whether it talks about increasing number of cases in regards to psychosis. I believe is should also include more information on the percentage of population that has been diagnosed with psychosis. There is also the mentioning of psychosis among children, but it is not very detailed and if children are mentioned, I believe there should also be a sub-section that discusses psychosis among adults. There are no images that help better understand the topic. The article talks about neuroimaging and the brain activity as different symptoms are taking place, but never shows exactly what they look like. There's a lot of information packed in this article, a lot of which the general public might not fully grasp. It would be best to reword some of the sections in a way that any reader could understand majority of the what that section is discussing.
