Option 1[edit]

Article title
Epigenetics of depression - Wikipedia
Article Evaluation
The section on histone methyltransferases is smaller compared to the other paragraphs and is lacking in citations. The article also has a mention of its lack of medical references which I would hope to include when adding to this section. I would expand on the methylation changes that take place in the hippocampus or different methylation factors associated with depression.

Option 2[edit]

Article title
Depression in childhood and adolescence - Wikipedia
Article Evaluation
This article also contains many unreliable medical sources and the section on comorbidity is very vague. I would add to this section and talk about comorbidity with various mental disorders.

Option 3[edit]

Article title
Postpartum depression - Wikipedia
Article Evaluation
Postpartum depression is very important subject that I feel like needs to be talked about more often. This article touches on many topics but I would like to add a section about postpartum and military families and/or single mothers because it may look differently on these women then the typical nuclear family.
