Your audience consists of researchers that know little to nothing about this disorder, so use full APA formatting and style. This means you should use language that is more formal than a magazine article (avoid contractions etc.), but still as simple and concise as possible. – Your paper will utilize headings to identify sections in which you discuss A) Etiology, B) Prevalence Rates, C) DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria, D) Impairment and E) Treatments. At least five references are required, of which four or more must be peer-reviewed (at least one explained thoroughly). Provide a reference list in APA style.
