Choice of mental disorder

[matthew94]

Which of the three mental disorders are people studying for outcome two? Why?
Have you just gone along with what your teacher chose, or have you picked a different one for some specific reason?
Curious to know...

All the psych classes at my school are doing gambling, so I'm just doing that. (:
My teacher said it was because there are the least dot points about it on the study design haha.

I'm not sure if I'm still going to do it because I got sick..  but I really want to in case the questions for my chosen one are really nasty.. I want to have something to fall back on.

There were only 3 questions worth a total of  six marks on last year exam so don't focus on it too much as its only  a small part of the exam, you would be much better off learning research methods as there are usually 9-10 marks worth of questions asked relating  to research methods and potentially an ERA or ERQ for section C that draws on your knowledge of research methods.

Gambling, along with the class. I was considering studying schizophrenia on the side, but i think I'm going to stick with gambling for the exam as I found it quite easy to understand (plus it was interesting).

I know, I know. I already have learnt research methods so it's just a matter of going over my notes, nothing new.

Do we have to pick out of FOUR mental disorders or THREE?
On the study design it says we have to pick ONE out of the FOUR - so confused -.-

Everybody studies Phobia that is an anxiety disorder and then one of either gambling, schizophrenia and depression
