So the second psychopathology essay way all about treatments for a case study of a depressed woman. This was quite a complicated case study, teasing out the details IE what were important symptoms and how we could treat her. In the end I felt she was going through the menopause and suffering from a stressful event that triggered a period of depression , this combined with a failed drug treatment (antidepressants and hormone therapy ) lead me to believe despite a history of child abuse that this was short term depression.So in perspectives in psychology i was asked to write a short essay and then make a presentation to explain the different approaches of psychology with strengths and weaknesses, while also writing about the approaches contribution to psychology. I had a lot of fun creating the presentation trying to make a fun and memorable story for children and adults, i believe i did not really write enough  detail or depth, we will see. Also I had my first exam on psychopathology, which i passed but i really need to broadly revise the next time i have an exam, it was quite nerve racking.
So i have my mark sheet for the second psychopathology  essay and distinction, but feedback from my tutor suggests some improvements to my referencing and consistent depth of evaluations. And just today i got my marke sheet for the presentation a distinction but a few grammar errors, it's now time for a new tutor and to move on to some social sciences.
