Article Review

I was looking at an article on caffeine, which relates directly to my research topic. Looking at the Psychological section of this article I can see that they talk about how caffeine affects Anxiety and it briefly touches upon the topic of how it can contribute to support those with anxiety.

Edit #1

I plan on adding more to the psychology section to talk more about the effects that caffeine has on depression in moderate doses.

Multiple sources state that there is a correlation between caffeine consumption and the reduced risk of depression.

The research has shown that increased consumption of caffeine between 68mg/day to 508mg/day has a positive association to a decreased risk of depression in individuals.

Edit #2

In the article on schizophrenia there is a section named substance use, there are a lot of sources that say that there is a positive correlation between nicotine consumption and individuals with schizophrenia.

I plan on adding that into the article so that it explains why.

People suffering from schizophrenia are 2 to 4 times more likely to smoke tobacco products than those who aren't. They smoke as a way to self medicate their mental disorder since nicotine has a positive influence on schizophrenia patients

Edit #3

I plan on adding another point in the "Causes" for the article on anxiety. because there are numerous medical causes for anxiety.

Along with what is already stated above, there are some other medical conditions that could cause anxiety; heart disease, diabetes and thyroid problems could all contribute to anxiety in an individual.
