Physical or psychological disorder associated with an occupational environment and manifested in symptoms such as extreme anxiety, or tension, or cramps, headaches, or digestion problems.
Stress related to responsibilities associated with work, corporate culture or personality conflicts
Can lead to physical as well as emotional disorders
May cause depression if left unattended
Workplace stress is the harmful physical and emotional response that occurs when there is a poor match between job demands and the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker
Stress-related disorders encompass a broad array of conditions, including psychological disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder) and other types of emotional strain (e.g., dissatisfaction, fatigue, tension, etc.), maladaptive behaviors (e.g., aggression, substance abuse), and cognitive impairment (e.g., concentration and memory problems). In turn, these conditions may lead to poor work performance or even injury. Job stress is also associated with various biological reactions that may lead ultimately to compromised health, such as cardiovascular disease or in extreme cases, death.

Diagnosis of somatic
symptom disorder may be
given to people who are overly
anxious about their medical
problems (page 257).
Clinicians no longer
need to distin-
guish hysteri-
cal symptoms
from medical
symptoms.
People
with a
serious medi-
cal disease,
such as cancer,
may receive a

Diagnosis of major
depressive disorder may
be given to recently bereaved
people (page 196).

among griev-
ing people.

Editor's Notes
There are many types of psychological disorders. In this presentation, we are going to focus on three common types of disorders which are personality disorders, mood disorders and anxiety disorders respectively. Personality disorders are disorders which causes patients to suffer from extreme personality traits which disrupt the normal functioning of the patient. Some examples of personality disorders will be anti-social personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Mood disorders causes patients to suffer from persistent feelings of sadness or joy or excessive fluctuations of emotions. A common example of this disorder will be depression. Anxiety disorders are a group of disorders which involve anxiety such as panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Types of psychological disorders . (n.d.).

A common example of personality disorder will be obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This disorder causes patients to have recurrent and unwanted thoughts and also results in repetitive behavior in the patients. For example, the patient may feel that there are germs everywhere and are compelled to wash their hands over and over again. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD . (n.d.).

The symptoms of OCD include persistent disturbing and upsetting thoughts which results in the patients being compelled to engage in rituals such as checking the stove or cleaning their hands repetitively. When untreated, it can drastically impact the patient’s ability to function and interact normally. There are many causes of OCD. First, people feel that OCD may be a result of chemical and brain dysfunction whereby abnormalities within the brain causes patients to be unable to operate normally. Next, genetics is also a cause of OCD. Studies that shown that OCD usually runs in the family. Lastly, OCD can also be a result of depression which causes patients to display the OCD symptoms.

Patients should seek treatment from mental health professionals who will be able to design and implement cognitive-behavioral therapy and/or behavioral therapy to help the patient. In addition, the patients can also join self-help groups where they can gain more assistance and knowledge on how to help and improve their health conditions. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD .

Depression affects many people around there world. It causes patients to suffer from a persistent sense of unhappiness. There are many symptoms of this disorder. These include a sense of helplessness, loss of interests in daily activities and also inability to concentrate and focus, all of which disrupts the patient’s ability to operate normally. Understanding Depression . (n.d.). Retrieved June 5, 2009, from http://www.helpguide.org/mental/depression_signs_types_diagnosis_treatment.htm
There are many causes of depression. First, genetics can be a cause as studies have shown that the disorder does run in the family. Next, patients may be unable to cope with sudden events or changes in life which are unexpected such as the death of a close one and thus causes depression. Also, patients may be unable to unable the stresses in life and thus develop depression. There are two forms of treatment for this disorder.
