Discussion Post and Responses

Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.

Please write each discussion and include 2 sources in each. After Doing both discussions please respond to two of the other students post and include 2 sources in your responses.

Schizophrenia

Discussion 1: Discuss the dopamine theory of schizophrenia. What are its implications regarding treatment? (For example, does the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia suggest that the only successful treatment for this disorder is a pharmacological approach?) Identify at least two research studies to support the position you take on this.

Stress

Discussion 2: There is significant evidence that stress causes a number of changes in the brain and body. The changes are significantly different between acute and chronic stress. Discuss the difference between acute and chronic stress, and discuss whether or not either of these conditions are beneficial in humans.
