Description
I have two discussion for this week, will you be willing to do them. If so I need them by Thursday at 9pm. Also the last to discussion assignments the instructor has given me a 3.5 out of 5 because she said that they were to general and all the question wasn't answer properly. I
After reading Chapter 11 and 12 in your course text and the article “Considering the Definition of Addiction” which covers the biological basis of emotion, addiction (substance
abuse disorder), and disordered behavior, analyze the high rate of
smoking in those diagnosed with schizophrenia compared to the general
population. Why are smoking cessation interventions less successful in
these individuals? Review the accepted mechanisms of tobacco abuse and
dependence and the etiologic theories of schizophrenia. What are the
biological and/or psychological mechanisms between schizophrenia and
smoking? Include information on brain structures, pathways,
neurotransmitters/receptors, and psychological factors when discussing
the topic areas above. Additional emphasis should be placed on relating
the underlying pathology of schizophrenia to tobacco dependence/abuse
and the biological or psychological mechanism of the observed
association of smoking behavior to the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
In keeping with the focus of this class, the emphasis should be placed
on the role of neurotransmitter and receptor systems, neuroanatomical
structures, and neurological functional pathways. You must use a
minimum of one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last
five years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing
Center. How does the data support the proposed mechanism in the article
you chose? What other possible mechanisms might explain this
relationship? Is it possible that biology has nothing to do with the
relationship between smoking and schizophrenia? Your post should be a
minimum of 250 words. You may cite and reference your textbook,
required reading and/or multimedia, but these will not fulfill the
source requirement.
