Which article are you evaluating?
Talk:Anatomy of an Epidemic

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this topic because it is different and i have never seen it been spoken about before. The article talks about the effectiveness of psychiatric medications such as antidepressants. This is a conversation that I haven't thought of because most people would like their effect would be beneficial but have never seen actual data.

Evaluate the article
The article did not have a good lead section there was not a true introduction paragraph and the article seems undone. This topic is relevant and it should be something that we should see details about. The article stayed on topic and was a very interesting article. The dates from the data in the article were outdated and can be updated with some new findings and comparisons. The article is a "C" class article and there are some gaps in the article that need to be filled because of the lack of information given. There is a section in the article with the heading "children" this heading only had 1-2 sentences explaining the effects of children when their parent are giving them drugs and how it would effect their daily lives the older they get. There could be more data showing the effects on a table or comparing data. The references this article has chosen are bias sources. It would make the article a better representation off this topic to show a broad and information. The references also come from some of the same authors or sources as well it is not really broad in this spectrum as well. When clicking on a few of the references link most of them worked but a few. When looking at the talk page there is a header that says "unbalanced view point" and within his header it talks about how some of references should be peer reviewed journal and no scientific article were referenced as well. My overall view of this page is that it needs a little more information and work added into this article topic.
