This week, the discussion board assignment allows you to learn about one of three topics. Choose to write about one of the mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder) or an anxiety disorder (e.g., social anxiety, generalized anxiety, agoraphobia, etc.).

In each reply, please write at least a one paragraph response in which you comment on what you learned from their summary, or compare and contrast the themes discussed to those found within the forum you chose to visit and evaluate.
