Section outline

  • Psychological Disorders


    This is the last week you will be studying from your textbook. This week you will study Chapter 15 Psychological Disorders.

    In this chapter on Abnormal Psychology, the author skims through the six major categories of mental disorders which include: Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders,Mood Disorders such as Depression, Bipolar and related disorders, Schizophrenia, Dissociative Disorders and Personality Disorders. Each of these disorders could easily take a chapter to explain, but hopefully, you will be able to be familiar with the basics, what the disorders are, and some basic symptoms.  You will have a section that deals with childhood disorders such as ADHD and Autism.
