Document Summary
You can have a physical, structural problem, but the amount of distress and impairment you"re feeling goes far beyond the physical pain. Diathesis is psychological/biological, and a stressor is psychological/biological. The panic attacks in panic disorder are spontaneous (this is the feature of panic disorder) Comparing unpredictable and actual movements is not present in convulsion disorder (that is the part of the brain that is damaged the temporal parietal junction) Stigma isn"t a reason to correlate mental illness with violence. There is no difference between dsm-iv and dsm-5 for criteria of pd"s. Personality can be defined as a consistent and enduring manner of approaching the world. We use adjectives to describe people"s tendency to perceive, think about, and relate to the world in a certain way most of the time (traits) Meek, aggressive, outgoing, introverted, open-minded, lazy, neurotic, fearful, ect . No one behaves the same way all the time. You adapt behaviour to the immediate situational demands.
