Identifying and symptoms

What is normal? What is average for most people? Laughing/ too much at nothing.

Problems with defining psych disorders The behavior of the majority is not always wise or healthy Some Atypical behaviors are eccentric (artistic geniuses) rather than indicative of a disorder People with psych disorders usually do not differ much from “normal” people

Emotional discomfort anxiety and depression feelings of hopelessness, extreme sadness, worthlessness, Guilt, thought of suicide severe emotional discomfort

Socially unacceptable behavior violates society’s accepted norms cultural differences a problem  

Classifying psychological disorders Change with each edition of the DSM or diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders The 3rd DSM edition in 1980 psychological disorders have been categorized on the basis of observable signs and symptoms rather than presumed causes.

Answer these questions Identify three problems with defining normal behaviors as the behavior displayed by the majority of people. How have the criteria for the classisification of psychological disorders been arranged since 1980’s? Give an example of a feeling or a behavior that would be considered normal in one circumstance but a sign of psychological disorder in a different circumstance.

DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS Chapter 18 section 3 DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS

DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS REFERS TO THE SEPARATION OF CERTAIN PERSONILITY COMPPONENTS OR MENTAL PROCESSES FORM CONSCIOUS THOUGHT. MAY LOSE THEIR MEMORY OF A PARTICULAR EVENT OR FORGET THEIR IDENTITY OCCURS WHEN FACED WITH URGES OR EXPERIENCES THAT VERY STRESSFUL

3 TYPES OF DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS

2. Dissociative Fugue Characterized by forgetting personal information and past events Taking on a new identity relocating from home and new career Usually follows a traumatic event When fugue ends will not remember anything during the fugue state

Learning View Have learned not to think about disturbing events in order to avoid shame, guilt, and pain Dissociate themselves from stressful event Reinforced by reduces anxiety when trauma is forgotten

Cognitive / biological view No complete explanation as of yet At present there is no convincing evidence that either biological or genetic factors play a role
