What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them. However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different. It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted. A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent. However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Defining and understanding adult dysthymia: characteristics and clinical criteria

Dysthymia is a prevalent form of depression, with significant psychiatric comorbidity, elevated risk of suicide, and often lasting more than a decade. Despite how common this form of depression is, it often goes undiagnosed until the easily recognizable symptoms of major depression manifest. This is unfortunate because it is treatable using both psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. In the future, clinicians and researchers will undoubtedly focus on improving the psychological instruments and laboratory tests used to detect dysthymia in an effort to intervene on behalf of those suffering from this mild form of clinical depression.
