If there is only one Area of Concentration item, it will load in the expanded state, with no caret following the title.
If there is more than one item, should they all load in the collapsed state? Or should the first item load as expanded, and any subsequent item load as collapsed? What will be the UX if the first item is quite long, and loads expanded? Would a user understand the collapse/expand UI of the additional items?
