My project focuses on the different ways of overcoming depression. As a mental health issue, depression is becoming rampant across the United States. There exists various ways of overcoming the condition and the controversy for the current project exists in these strategies of overcoming depression. The pro side of the controversy is that depression is better addressed using medication and therapy. The proponents of these two strategies believe that those with depression are often unable to control their emotions and actions and thus require the help of a therapist and medication. The con side argues that the medication and therapy services are often unavailable for those with depression. Often the affected will not recognize it as depression but as sadness and that continued self-care would be sufficient to address the condition. The tentative thesis for my proposal is that an effective way of overcoming depression requires a combination of the social support programs, therapy self-management techniques such as healthy lifestyles and strong social network.
I believe that the process has been somewhat demanding for me this far. I have had to engage in in-depth research that is sometimes contradicting and requires deep analysis and information to interpret. I found it fairly difficult to come up with a design because I needed to choose that which suits my research question best from the many research designs available. I am confident in my progress so far because I believe I am headed in the right direction. I believe my thesis is strong but I would not mind making adjustments to it when I feel it necessary. I would like to revise the overall flow of my work and any grammatical errors present in what I have already written. The easiest part for me is the literature review as I can get information from studies related to my question. The hardest part is the development of my research design as this part often presents a challenge for me
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
The most helpful aspect throughout the whole process is ease with which I can access scholarly information from the school library and other databases such as PsychNET, ProQuest and much more. I would recommend that I colleagues search for these cites as they provide relevant and current information on different issues. The strategy I feel is very helpful is how I note down short note of information I identify from various sources then expound on it when developing my work. I believe this strategy is helping me develop original work, give credit to other authors and avoid plagiarism. I think I will need to get more tips from the instructor and colleagues on how to identify and use an appropriate research design to ensure that I have what is required for this section of my research before moving forward.
