Your help is meaningful. Will you give a hand?

Going in for this course, I was curious by the idea of finding answers for psychological disorders. I'm in Psychology major. So, I love learning about why people behave the way they do. I also hope to learn ways in which I can help people get over unhappy issues. Because of the distinguishably unnatural characteristics of behavior studied in this course. And one of my favourite chapters that I want to discuss is chapter one: Abnormal behavior. According the text, Abnormal behavior is a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress or disability or with a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability, or an important loss of freedom. This course has given me the ability to apply information learned about human experience, and relate it to psychopathology. I completely haven’t had any knowledge about it. When I have learned this chapter I know more definitions concern with Abnormal psychology such as: psychology, abnormal psychology, psychodiagnosis ... As far as i concern abnormal psychology is the thoughts or behavior that cause social, cognitive, emotional, and various other tribulations for an individual. When there is an abnormal behavior pattern disrupting one’s psychological functioning or behavior, it is due to a psychological disorder. I have realized that to be able to distinguish when a person has a psychological disorder, it is vital to be able to determine the definition of the abnormal behavior. I have learned about therapist, mental health professional and psychologist. I have known what they do and what their profession is. I have no longer misinterpreted about their roles beacause the textbook making explanation accurately. Furthermore, a behavior firmed through describing, explaining, predicting and controlling. You have to go through these stages before you conclude a normal or abnormal behaviour. I also have perceived that abnormality is determined by four criterias: distress, deviance, dysfunction and dangerous. In this class I was taught that certain sexual behaviours, delinquency, and homicide are normal not abnormal like the ways our society think. Abnormal behavior can bring unpleasure, discomfort, or grudges in the individual daily life not only impairing one’s lifestyle, but can affect others. Nonetheless, behavior that is considered to be normal in one region may be abnormal in another. I was eager to learn explanations of that behavior. From this time I must also be refined in the cultures around the world and of the patient. Each culture tackles mental disorders differently, and have different forms of normalities, and solutions for people behavior. I literally shift on my misconceptions about the mentally disturbed. I was eager to learn explanations of that behavior. I have studied that mental disorders aren't inherited. They can be curable and patients can lead a normal life. Most prime examples proving that most of people who have suffered from mental disorders improve. I believed that it absolutely has changed my perspectives about consequences of mental disorders forever. I enjoy the fact that we have dive deep into the material, looking at real life examples of abnormal behavior. Being able to listen and discuss real life occurrences of the material we read about helps to engrave the information in my head. When getting real life examples of psychological dysfunction – such as the materials, articles…I am given a better idea of which kinds of cases require abnormal psychologists.I have learned by reading chapters in the textbook and the case study reader,I believe that we must investigate various aspects of a person’s life in order to determine why they show certain abnormal behaviors and how those behaviors, thoughts and feelings could be decreased or changed for the happiness of the patient this is the best way. I have a better understanding to treat a patient and try to help them live a healthier, more pleasant life. The treatment that I found most efficient and effective for mental disorders is cognitive-behavioral therapy. This therapy treats a maladaptive-learned behavior through applying the behavioral principles of learning. This gives the individual the ability to reconstruct his or her thoughts in a more positive matter. Disorders tend to make a person feel hopeless and maladaptive, but this treatment allows the person to have control of their thoughts and feelings. Mental illnesses can lead to disturbances in a person’s thoughts and may be an emotional experience. Mental illnesses tend to make life difficult because a person may find it hard to maintain relationships, keep a job, or motivate oneself to do daily activities. Without treatment, they can and often do make life sustainable to live. From this class I have a better understanding how mental disorders can affect humankind's life and what people can do to change their life and also how to diagnosis. All the things I have learned that expand and alter my perspective and horizon.By approaching abnormal psychology this way we are given a more accurate knowledge and informations about it and therefore can accurately estimate which treatment option is best for them. When I have more knowledge in this point. I literally understand more mankind's behaviours and also I can deal with daily issues in my life. And I changed the way that I always think about abnormal behaviour.
