Research a drug that is used to treat patients with mental illness (for example, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar, or anxiety disorders). Alternatively, research a recreational or over the counter drug that has behavioral effect (for example cocaine, marijuana, or any addictive drug).

You need to find 2 scholarly, primary source, peer reviewed articles from our library and 2 articles found on the internet – these could be any source including wikipedia, blogs, etc. I want you to compare the quality of these sources. You can use the worksheet below to help you write your essay. -In your own words, how does the drug work; in other words, what are the physiological events and processes this drug initiates? -What are the possible benefits of taking this drug? -What are the possible costs of taking this drug? -What are the known side effects? -How long does it take the drug to have an effect on behavior? -How long does it take the drug to leave the system?

Write a 3-4 page, double-spaced essay on the effect of this drug: does it work? how does it work, physiologically? Are there any side effects? Conclude with a critical discussion of the sources you used – did these sources of information warrant the conclusions or are you skeptical about the information? Why/Why not?
