Option 1

 * Article title
 * Autism - Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbities


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article speaks of the A--TAC test which is a certain type of psychological screening. The article only briefly mentioned what the test screens for, where it was developed, and what it consists of. I believe this article could go more into depth and provide more information on the topic. The article only consists of two short paragraphs and the few sources it referenced, no other sections or media to add to it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder management


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article speaks of the many different methods that can be used to manage ADHD. This article provides a great amount of useful information on the topic as a whole as well as for each section and sub-section that is included in the article. There are even multiple sufficient tables that properly display the information of the medications used. The article also references many outside sources to support the information and evidence.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Major depressive disorder


 * Article Evaluation
 * I believe this article does a great job at providing a lot of accurate information about this specific mood disorder. It also even mentions the DSM criteria for it, which is the main manual used for making diagnoses on all psychological and psychiatric disorders. But, I do believe this article is missing an important section that mentions the different types/features of depression, like psychotic, atypical, peripartum, etc.
