Friedman states that many experts thought that your clinician could literally pick any
antidepressant or type of psychotherapy at random because, with a few clinical exceptions, there

doctors names and discoveries they have made like Dr. Nemeroff’s study, about a third
experienced parental loss, and 45 percent suffering physical abuse and citing the National
Institute of Mental Health. This article talks about how easy it is to get hooked onto pills that
will alter your brain chemistry however in some cases talk and regular therapy can be very
beneficial. I believe this ties into my senior capstone by having an insight and being aware that
anyone can get antidepressants but will it work for the person? This can be a question each
individual can ask themselves and be able to determine which method and why it’s right for

the important it is to educate and support those who are struggling. For staff to be a helping hand
and to build a community and bond with the students. This connects to my senior project by
tying it to the place I spend most of my time going too. School. I think school has a big thing to
do with those who are experiencing symptoms and is “taboo” to talk about something as personal
get simple.

both the creation of art and the discovery of its meaning. In this article the author mentions well
known psychologist such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung's theories and beliefs and also

healing. The Foundation and Recovery network is a rehabilitation page that helps gives options
to those seeking help but does mentions Margarita Tartakovsky.. In the article it talks about the
different types of art therapy like sculpting, painting, drawing, music, and more. This helps
connect to my capstone by giving a variety of options when going into art therapy to not only
those who struggle with mental illness but also reach out to those dealing with addiction.
Addiction is a big part of it because those who have addiction problems fall into those who
