Document Summary
Functional significance of disorder is relative to context. Social contracts involved in all human affairs, including our collective perceptions of our own minds. Psychopathologies, from hysteria to depression are not discovered, but made". Are psychological disorders similar or different from physical disorders: my opinion, diagnosis is different. Brain scans cannot detect depression, for example: both biological, mind vs. body, mental health is equally as important as physical health. Dysfunction: behaviour interferes with ability to function properly. Danger: behaviour is dangerous to the self or to others. Deviance: people that lye outside of the norm. A man saying, the snow-white rice is hungry , and lacking enjoyment from eating food. Important to note that the question asks for positive and negative symptoms. Become more extreme as people get older. Issue: the term dyslexia is not mentioned throughout text. Colour and letter-sensitive are located next to each other in the brain.
