Psychopathology

The current paper will explore the history and future of personality in social psychology, and how the integration of these fields show more similarities than differences.

Psychopathology is the study of mental distress and abnormal maladaptive behaviour, there are four approaches to psychopathology, cognitive, behavioural, psychodynamic and biological. The biological model of abnormality is split into four parts which can all cause abnormal behaviour these are; Genetic, Brain injury, Neurotransmitters and Infection.

Psychological disorders are stated to be abnormalities of the mind, known as mental disorders (Klasco, 2011). Abnormalities of the mind cause persistent behaviors that affect an individual’s daily function and life (Klasco, 2011). The different types of psychological disorders include mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders (Klasco, 2011). The causes of these disorders are unknown, but factors that contribute to these disorders include childhood experiences, chemical imbalances in the brain, illnesses, heredity, stress, and prenatal exposures (Klasco, 2011). Psychological disorders can be serious and can be life-threatening

in order to analyze the patterns that determine personality, certain issues need to be addressed

The very definition of personality is “the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character.” But what does that mean for those who don’t have any distinctive character, or those who can’t separate their individual qualities from the qualities of others? It could mean they are just experiencing normal fluctuations in their perceived personality, common to everyone because people are constantly changing. It could also be the presence of a psychiatric disorder, depending on the length one experiences these fluctuations, which would be referred to as “symptoms.” Psychiatric disorders are a class of mental disorders that have maladaptive behaviors, poor cognition, and poor inner

Depression is more common in Women than in men. When my grandmother died—my mom’s mother— my mother went in to severe depression. I know that losing a parent can never be easy. People grief differently. My mom suffers from high blood pressure and so when she heard the news that my grandmother had died we immediately had to take her to the hospital. There, they had to regulate her blood pressure because she was really bad and would not stop crying. It was hard to see. After she was released from the hospital and we went through the whole burial service she became extremely depressed. She would go to work but was always tired. She just wanted to be in bed. She was always sad. When we would sit at the dinner

In the following section I am going to evaluate two approaches in psychology like being a reasonable assumptions about human behaviour and development for me, although most psychologists might agree that no one perspective is correct or incorrect.

Psychological disorders are mental disorders that affects ones pattern of behavior that deviates them from the social conventional norms. One's behavior is expressed to wield a lot of distress that is not considered as the normal development of a person's culture. Psychological disorders are seen by the way an individual feels, acts, thinks or perceives the environment around them, most especially ones social an emotional stability. The causes of mental are quite large and they vary and sometimes unclear ADDIN EN.CITE Barlow20073(Barlow, 2007)336Barlow, D.H.Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders: A Step-By-Step Treatment Manual2007New YorkGuilford Press9781593855727http://books.google.co.ke/books?id=JSfnCPlEFygC( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_1" o "Barlow, 2007 #3" Barlow, 2007). All in all, these disorders affects one's ability to interact with other members of society but due to developments in medicine and research, means of managing and even treatment of these disorders have been discovered. One common disorder is post-traumatic stress disorder often abbreviated as PTSD.

Psychopathy is a personality disorder define by a distinctive cluster of traits and deviant behaviors. These personality traits become diagnosed once they are starting to show inflexibility, maladaptive, and persistence. They also cause significant impairment and subjective distress. Psychopaths show a high amount of antisocial behavior and abusiveness to people such as others, family, and themselves which causes them to commit crimes. Though lacking empathy and show of superficial feelings, they often tend to be anybody. Ted B. most famous quote was “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere.”

Psychopathy is a disorder characterized by pronounced emotional deficits, marked by reduction in guilt and sympathy, and involves magnified risk for displaying delinquent behavior. The disorder is developmental. psychopathic traits, notably the emotional part, are comparatively stable from childhood into adulthood. One reason for the attention this classification receives is its strong prognostic utility for institutional adjustment and lapsing (ie, reoffending). people with psychopathy are just about 3 times more likely to reoffend than those with low psychopathic traits, and 4 times more likely to reoffend violently. avowedly, it's the past antisocial behavior, indexed by psychopathy assessments, that's significantly necessary in predicting

Depression is a serious mental illness that is more than just a sad feeling. It has proven to be much more complex and has associations with personality as well as its traits, specifically two out of the Big Five personality traits; neuroticism and conscientiousness (McCrae & Costa, 1999). The research conducted by Philip I. Chow and Brent E. Roberts of the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois, have conducted their own research to provide evidence that these static levels of personality can not only be associated with depression, but that personality and its traits can be predictors of depression as well.

Despite how much one accomplishes during the day, what happens at night is just as important. A good night’s rest is vital to successfully function. However, there are times when our body and mind keeps us from doing so. Insomnia is a condition that disturbs this important cycle of rest.

Past research that observes the relationships between psychopathic traits and emotional recognition has been conducted on facial expressions. Categorising emotional facial expressions allows our response to our environment to be of an appropriate manner. Evidence has shown that people with psychopathic tendencies show impairments in recognising facial expressions for a range of emotions. There is strong evidence surrounding the impaired emotional facial recognition in psychopaths, however, their low-level perceptual categorisation of vocal expressions remains unexplored.

Analyses shows that personality changes throughout life as different personality traits are used and forgotten. The results are generalized and don’t always apply to people but typically the results are correct.
