PSY303 PSY/303 PSY 303 Week 5 Discussion/DQ Controversy- The Role of Big Pharma ((latest)) Before working on
this discussion, please read the article by Shulz (2004), watch the Generation RX: Resisting the Culture of
Overmedication video, and review the information in the textbook regarding psychotropic medication as well as any
relevant Instructor Guidance. For this discussion, you will enter into another conversation on an ongoing controversy
and contemporary issue regarding abnormal psychology. Specifically, what is the role of "big pharma" (i.e., major
pharmaceutical companies that determine the ways in which health care issues are researched and publicized) in the
diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology? It is absolutely essential to read the article by Shulz (2004) and watch the
Generation RX video because they provide insights into how issues regarding psychotropic medication are depicted in
popular media. Be sure to read your instructor's initial post before responding. As you enter into this conversation,
carefully consider the historical information you reviewed regarding big pharma&rsquos impact and influence within
abnormal psychology. Take a moment to relate this historical background to the current ethical, clinical, and social
implications when considering the use of psychotropic medication for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Interpret
specific symptoms and syndromes from big pharma&rsquos advertising campaigns and critically evaluate and comment
upon the necessity of these medications for the indicated psychiatric disorders. Again, the goal of this discussion forum
is to have a single dynamic and respectful conversation about big pharma&rsquos role in the diagnosis and treatment of
psychopathology, not a series of 20 to 30 separate conversations. This means every post should be in response to
another post. Your instructor will be posting the initial thread to which you will respond. Only start a new discussion
thread if you want to address an entirely different theme or question(s) within the discussion subject area. Additionally,
only post after first carefully reading what all the others within the thread have written. A simple agree or disagree
statement is insufficient to be counted as a response. When presenting your opinion, cite relevant sources (beyond your
text) to support your statements. Do not repeat what your classmates have already written, and do not ignore them if
they ask you questions. Any questions asked of you must be answered, including questions from your
instructor/professor. Try to keep the conversation moving forward by presenting options, insights, alternative ideas on
and/or interpretations of the topics and research. You must post a response within the discussion on at least three
separate days by Day 7, and your posts must total at least 800 words. There is no required word count for individual
posts as long as your posts together total at least 800 words. There is no maximum number of posts for any discussion.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.
