Document Summary
Example: cousin is pregnant, dieting (800 cal/day) May also be normal because maybe this has been a practice since she was 13 yrs old, She is harming the baby can be an abnormal behavior and shes used to it and it never caused her harm before. Pregnancy can bring on anorexia or can induce recurrence in their symptoms: woman grieving from her loss of her husband. Not washing herself or dressing in clean clothes. Culture: in some culture you grieve for a certain period of time. Would probably fall under abnormal because appearing to talk to yourself, loss of functioning, etc for the past year. Can step into potential hallucination or she can be depressed. After loss of a loved one, you can potentially go through a depressive episode: panic attack unexpected each week, but has a healthy life, married. Panic disorder = fear of having a panic attack; changes behavior.
