Talk:Lentis/Mental Health as a Pharmacological Growth Market

Project Goals: your mission in the chapter is to use a well researched case to support well substantiated, generalizable conclusions about the social interface of technology

What does your case teach us about the social interface of technology? Your chapter should offer some clear and well supported answers. You do not need to support a single, high-level finding (a thesis), as you would in a research paper. Nevertheless, please do consider problems (as researchers understand this term) and derive multiple lower-level conclusions (“generalizable lessons,” or “morals of the fable” so to speak) from them. Good conclusions, as always, will be generalizable (in their application, not confined exclusively to the topic). Conclusions generalize, assess, or apply.

Goals for First Meeting 10/30/17: Read through Attributes of a Strong Casebook Chapter as a team Key strong attributes: -good copy editing -appropriate length -Intro limits scope, conclusion presents ideas for future work -tradeoff between depth of examination and economy of length -coherent chapter, clear organization -suitable for audience -include helpful links -include images -support contentions -reference the best sources -analyze and synthesize -be specific, include participants -serves its purpose, impartial

Do preliminary research to create an outline Background Origin of first anti-depressant company and how the drug developed Conclusion section - suggestions for chapter's future development.

Goals for next meeting : -Kenton: Background -Gen: Depression -Noel: ADD

The children's market for ADHD is booming but the pharam industry is trying to employ similar marketing techniques as it focuses on adult ADHD, which could become more porfitable.

"These children lived in households and neighborhoods where violence and relentless stress prevailed. Their parents found them hard to manage and teachers described them as disruptive or inattentive. Brown knew these behaviors as classic symptoms of ADHD, a brain disorder characterized by impulsivity, hyperactivity, and an inability to focus." https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/07/how-childhood-trauma-could-be-mistaken-for-adhd/373328/Ncm3bd (discuss • contribs) 01:40, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
