From the list in the Module Five Milestone Guidelines and Rubric, select one behavior that might impair a person’s adaptive daily functioning, then address the following:  Distress: Describe the extent to which the selected behavior causes distress as characterized by mental or emotional imbalance. Depression can cause many levels of distress in the every day life. But when being diagnosed with Depression a professional may look at certain factors in the everyday life of the individual. For example, a person with depression may lose interest in everyday activities that would usually bring joy. Another indicator of depression is overall physical mental health, a person may neglect things like a good night’s sleep or physical activity. (2023, National institute of Mental Health)  Dysfunction: Describe the extent to which the selected behavior causes dysfunction by interfering with adaptive daily functioning.

A person with depression has a higher risk of overdose or addiction. (2020, Health) 1
