Using reputable web resources, such as the websites of the Mayo Clinic, the American Psychological Association, and the Department of Health and Human Services (federal, state, and/or local levels—some states may have a different name for this department), research the major categories and causes of mental illness. Based on your research, choose four distinct mental illness diagnoses to focus on. You may choose based on personal interest or based on the illnesses you are most likely to encounter in your career. In a new Word document, write a 3- to 4-page research paper that addresses the following for EACH of the four mental illnesses you chose:

What are the symptoms of this illness, and how is this illness diagnosed?
To which major class or category of mental illness does it belong?
What causes this illness?
What treatment options are available (if any) for this illness?
