Modern Views of Depression Assignment

Your friend, Sarah, has been acting out of sorts lately. She doesn’t enjoy doing any of the things that she normally loved to do. She spends most of her time in bed. She’s not eating much and appears very emotional (crying much of the time). You convince her that it is time for her to seek some help because you are worried that she is depressed.

Directions:

Your job is to explain how each modern perspective of psychology would explain Sarah’s depression. Make certain that you identify which paradigm you are referring to and answer in complete sentences.
