Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Antidepressants and motivation

References

Hello, I have added 2 references to your references section. One pertaining to the approaches to motivation and antidepressants and the other looking at how antidepressants affect motivation within a conditioned preference place, and this study was conducted using animal studies.

Hi there I am interested in whether the research looks how the dosage of the antidepressant medication effects on motivation. For example if somebody is taking a very low dose, just enough to have a therapeutic effect, would the medication still impact motivation in the same way? Great topic to choose!

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

Hi there, I felt it was important to note that Maslow's hierachry of needs is a pryamid and this pryamid serves an important purpose. In your work you refer to the hierarchy as a 'chain of command' throught the section "Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs". The lower part of the hierarchy refer to the 'foundational' needs (food, water, warmth, rest etc), without the foundational needs being met the pryamid (hierarchy) would be unable to stand as the 'foundations' are weak. This is an important distinction as a 'chain' implies each segment of the chain are as important as each other, which does not align with Maslow's theory. I believe some simple rewording through this section would showcase a stronger understanding of the theory.

Dopamine

Hi there, I have recently discovered that despite dopamine being a key chemical in motivation, there are no selective dopamine reuptake inhibitors, due to decay. Just thought this might be something you may want to expand on.

Additionally, it might be beneficial to include a note or section on interactions between anti-depressants and other drugs.

Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. The coverage of motivation theory is very broad/general. Be more selective and narrow down more specifically to theories which help to explain the research findings about the effects of ADs on motivation. Citations about the effects of ADs on motivation appear to be lacking - identify this literature and build the chapter around it. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Consider including more examples/case studies Conclusion (the most important section): hasn't been developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?

General feedback for this chapter

Hi! @U3197375 How are you? I like the topic you have chosen, it has a lot on it so really, research should be easy as! I found the 'overview' really confusing, it is pretty wordy at the moment, but it seems as though you are in the process of starting your chapter, so I'm sure you have ample time to simplify. If you want to see what a decent length intro or overview looks like, you can check my page out :)

However, the content is good, once I had a few read-throughs. I think you are on the right track. Welldone.Can't wait to see what this looks like in a few weeks. --LozGrace (discuss • contribs) 08:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hey! I work in a pharmacy so this is a really interesting issue for me. At work over the years i have always noticed that antidepressants were always the most dispensed medication, and it concerned me a little. Here is an interesting article about the growing use of antidepressants without an actual diagnosis. Really interesting !! https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.1377/hlthaff.2010.1024 --U3202984 (discuss • contribs) 11:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an insufficient chapter. The main areas for potential improvement include: The chapter mostly consists of general information about motivation and general info about antidepressants rather than concentrating on the theory and research about their relationship and what can be done about it. The chapter is well over the maximum word count. There is a lack of sufficient citation to support many claims. The quality of written expression is poor. For example, many paragraphs are overly long. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Too long. Reduce general info about motivation and cut to the chase. Shift some of the detailed material into subsequent sections (e.g., types of antidepressants). Only the third focus question is directly related to the target topic for this chapter. Consider introducing a case study or example to help engage reader interest. Theory — Breadth There is too much general theoretical material (e.g., about motivation and about antidepressants as separate phenomenon). Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). The chapter starts to directly address the topic after ~3500 words of preamble with the section titled: "How do antidepressants impact the motivation of an individual" Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by incorporating embedded links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Depression). Theory — Depth Whilst a lot of theoretical material is presented, it is not sufficiently selected to be the most relevant theory about the target topic. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts. Research — Key findings Insufficient use of relevant psychological research. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research — Critical thinking Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Discussion of theory and research is poorly integrated. Conclusion Basic summary. Address the focus questions. Add practical, take-home message(s). Written expression — Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes. Many paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Layout Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold). Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Grammar Use serial commas[2] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min). Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:). APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Figures and tables Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation "Retrieved from" is no longer used (APA style, 7th ed.) Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Written expression — Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is basic. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Very good use of image(s). No use of table(s). Good use of feature box(es). Basic use of quiz(zes). The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each major section rather than being presented as a single set of questions. Basic use of case study. The case studies could be improved by focusing them more directly on the target topic for the chapter. Social contribution ~3 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an insufficient presentation. Overview The opening slide is shown too quickly to be able to read it. The sub-title is missing on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The Overview is too long ~ 1 minute! Only the third focus question is relevant. Content Comments about the book chapter also apply to this section. This presentation is basically about the use of antidepressants for depression. But it should be about the effect of antidepressants on motivation. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies. Conclusion There was no Conclusion. Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio. Audio communication is well paced. Audio recording quality was good. Video Overall, visual display quality is basic. The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides. The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The amount of text presented on some slides should be reduced to make it easier to read. The visual communication could be improved by including more relevant images. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools. Meta-data The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided. Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Either provide details about the image sources and their copyright licenses in the presentation description or remove the presentation. A copyright license for the presentation is provided.
