Document Summary
Various different mental disorders at different levels. Suffering not the way to hand, help needs to be looked for. Waiting to get help until it gets more extreme is the worse decision. What is abnormal behavior? (prof"s in class examples) Mary"s situation: abnormal because she does it in public, goes against social norms, if the situation gave more information and stated that she was 4 years old then it would be seen as normal. Makes you feel ashamed, like you cant cope. Imagination of what could happen in the future. Completely normal behaviour when there is a threat present. Helps you survive as best as you can. When a event of happiness comes up (ex. Won a trip to hawaii) you think about the negatives of it (airplane turbulence, diseases, flight length) Wherever you have a panic attack, you stop going there: you end up being house bound don"t leave you home to go anywhere.
