Class+Wednesday+9-26

Hi all, I'll be out sick today, so in class I would like you to complete the following:


 * Use this Powerpoint to check your notes, make sure you have all the information in your notebooks.
 * Either in your notes or on your iPad, [|complete the hormone/gland/function chart]. The information should be in your notes and in the books (there aren't enough for everyone to have one in class, so please share with your neighbor)
 * Read the article linked in the PowerPoint about the roles of hormones and PMS. Answer the questions below in the comments/discussion section above. Please make sure you add your name so I know who you are :)

Article Questions
 * People are working to add PMS to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV). This manual is the handbook for mental disorders and their symptoms and is designed to give standards for diagnosing psychological patients. What are some of the controversies surrounding this move to include PMS?
 * What are some of the statistical inaccuracies regarding this study?
 * What other factors does the author say could contribute to the PMS symptoms?
 * You weigh in - Should PMS get a spot in the DSM-IV? Support your argument with information from the book and the article provided?

Whatever you do not finish in class, please complete for homework. Have a great day and I'll see you all Thursday!
