Psychology - Describe your disorder and it’s prevalence rate

Psychology

Time to demonstrate your research skills.  Chapter 2 briefly discusses genetic disorders.  Pick a disorder from one of the three categories discussed...Multifactorial, Chromosomal, or Inherited disorders.  Table 2A-1 and Table 2A-3  are great starting points, but feel free to not limit yourself to only these disorders.  

While doing your research,  answer the following:

1. Describe your disorder and it’s prevalence rate (who does this disorder seem to affect the most?).
2. Explain what causes your disorder.
3. What problems, symptoms, or characteristics does your disorder cause?
4. What (if any) treatments are available for your disorder?
5. What kind of life can a person with your disorder expect?
6. What shocked you the most about this disorder? And/or what new information did you gain?
