My question is :given the incidence of some disorders like depression, does that mean they’re
abnormal? Consider whether your beliefs would have changed after reading the criteria discussed
in your text (Psychology )
Solution
Yes, the people suffering from the psychological diseases such as depression exhibit abnormal
mood that is different from ideal mental stability. For example, a six-year-old boy is expected to
be friendly with the other children because they prefer playing much during that age, In contrast
to this, the behaviour exhibited by Jamie is abnormal, which makes it to clearly distinguish from
the other children. As it is an abnormal behaviour treatment is also needed to restore the normal
behaviour..
