Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Antidepressants and motivation

Comment
I would be interested to know the age of when antidepressants are given and if that has an effect of the motivation of the person. So if they are older would they be less motivated to take anitdepressants.

Hi there! It may be interesting to discuss how SSRIs can effect people in completely different ways and how that may play into an individual's motivation. For example, how some people may experience weight gain, whereas someone else may experience low arousal. :)--U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 13:01, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

A great topic overall, however there seems to be two hormones you forgot to add details on! --Claireebousfield (discuss • contribs) 15:21, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Some Idea's
Hi, I suggest that you look into depression's effect on motivation and compare how antidepressants (even if they might numb people) really do help. Depression is a mental illness that really reduces motivation so looking at this relationship and comparing with and without the medication is really interesting. maybe include a graph or two to plot this. Also maybe discuss how antidepressants used to be used with bipolar depression and that effect on motivation. Good luck! --U3201178 (discuss • contribs) 00:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * 1) Focus questions are much more relevant.
 * 2) Theory
 * 3) Relevance of learned helplessness slightly better explained
 * 4) Place preference now explained
 * 5) Research
 * 6) Minor improvements to include brief summaries and citations of more relevant research. The most useful additional was a paragraph about a study about sexual preference motivation in rats when given an AD.
