Notes:
Use this PowerPoint to get a better
understanding of what is considered abnormal
behavior.
Notes:
Ah, the lesson you all have been waiting
for…….psychological disorders. What is
abnormal behavior? What is the difference
between unusual behavior and a mental
disorder?
Notes:
In the ancient world, anyone who displayed
abnormal or unusual behavior was thought to be
possessed by demons or spirits. About 400 B.C.
Greek Physician Hippocrates took the first step
toward a scientific view of mental illness. His
interpreted these unusual behaviors as an
imbalance among four body fluids: blood, phlegm
(mucus), black bile, and yellow bile. Then in the
Middle Ages, the Salem Witch trials occurred.
For those of you who haven’t studied the Middle
Ages. The Salem Witch trials were a series of
trials in Salem, Massachusetts in which twenty
people were executed because they were

thought to be witches. Around the late 18th
century, the scientific view reemerged and the
result was the medical model. The medical
model held that mental disorders are a disease
of the mind that has objective causes and
specific treatment.

Notes:
There are many different theories on the causes
of mental illness ranging from (you guessed it)
biological, environmental, cognitive,
developmental, and socio-cultural. While,
clinicians may disagree about the cause of a
mental illness there is cohesiveness on the signs
of abnormality
Notes:
It is easy to diagnose a physical illness like a
broken leg. But what about a mental illness like
depression? Let’s look at how a person is
diagnosed as having a mental disorder.
There are several indicators of abnormal
behavior. Hallucinations, delusions, and extreme
affective disturbances are signs of severe mental
disorders. But there are some more subtle signs.
They are as followed:
1.
Distress- if a person becomes so
overwhelmed with unpleasant emotions that
concentration for long periods become
impossible
2.
Maladaptiveness- does the behavior
interfere with his or her well-being
3.
Irrationality- behaviors or emotional
responses that are inappropriate to the situation

4.
Unpredictability- behave erratically and
inconsistently at different times or from one
situation to the next
5.
Unconventionality and undesirable
behavior- behave in a way that is statistically rare
and violate the social norm
Obviously the more symptoms the person
demonstrates the more confident the clinicians
are on diagnosing that person as mental ill.
Suffering from one or more of the symptoms
above suggests a person may have a mental
disorder but which one? The Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)
contains a listing of all the various mental
disorders. There are over 300 specific mental
illnesses but the DSM-IV classifies them into a
few broad categories. It is important to note that
the illnesses are classified by symptoms not
causes.

Notes:
It is important to note that as you read through
the symptoms of the specific disorders you may
be able to identify with some of them. This does
not mean you are suffering from a mental
disorder. You have to remember that some of the
symptoms are normal as long as they don’t
hinder your life. For instance, many of us have
been anxious about a test or an event but that
doesn’t mean you are suffering from an anxiety
disorder. Only trained and licensed professions
should diagnose people.
