Describe your disorder and it’s prevalence rate (who does this disorder seem to affect the most?).
Explain what causes your disorder.
What problems, symptoms, or characteristics does your disorder cause?
What (if any) treatments are available for your disorder?
What kind of life can a person with your disorder expect?
What shocked you the most about this disorder? And/or what new information did you gain?
