This assignment is optional and can be used to replace a zero or a poor grade on an essay. For this assignment, students will write a research-based essay following the requirements under Lessons. You must include and base your essay on sound, research-based evidence. I will check your work cited page for scientific support for your writing. If you have questions about whether your sources are sufficient, feel free to ask me before 4/25/24. You can choose from one of three categories for the topic:
1) Choose a lifestyle (diet, exercise, specific nutritional supplement, sleep habit, etc) plan that has been proven to improve mental health. Explain what the plan is and how it affects a specific facet of mental health. Give a brief description of the mental health topic (for example, depression) and then explain the research you found. Conclude with a short explanation of why you chose the topic.
You must have outside sources for this assignment and they must be credible (not wikipedia). Reputable medical and psychological journals or websites are best.
