Neurological disorders

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), opposition defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder (CD) are three distinct disorders based upon their respective diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5. If ODD and CD were mild forms of ASPD, then there would need to be causal relationship between the childhood manifestations of ODD and CD and the adult manifestation of ASPD. There is evidence of comorbidity between ODD and CD, and also evidence to suggest that children diagnosed with these disorders may go on to develop

Criminology has chosen to concentrate on the social influences that contribute to criminality, instead of concentrating on the neurological and genetic factors of violent behavior. For many years, psychologists have attempted to fathom the idea of murder and what it truly takes for someone to become a ruthless killer. There is an ample amount of factors that can lead to an act of violence, like murder, or the creation of a murderer such as nurture (the way one is raised or the type of environment

Conversion disorder is said to be a "mental condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system (neurological) symptoms that cannot be explained by medical evaluation." As defined by the National Institute of Health (nlm.nih.gov). Though the official name for this disorder has not yet been agreed upon, The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic

The manifestations of CRPS can impact the orchestration of occupational therapy services and treatment. It is often dependent on the specific factors of the client which may include their belief that they are powerless to managing their symptoms.

The criminal justice system in the United States focuses its efforts on issues such as over- crowding in prisons, police brutality, hot spots, and the like. Although these are all very important, the most important could be considered; where the issue of criminality could be coming from. The focus here is the link between nutrition and criminality. The importance of good nutrition will be reviewed as well as the criminality linked to poor nutrition. Research has found the importance of a good balanced

Conduct Disorder      As immediately as infancy, children express individual characteristics that can be considered aggressive. The child can be aggressive in the way it cries, the way it plays and the way it attains attention. Parents of children that have a hard time sleeping through the night, trouble accepting affection and/or difficulties with hyperactivity are often so stressed and bothered by these behaviors that they resort to negative reinforcement techniques in their parenting. Examples

The WHO believes that mental and neurological disorders lead people to a great amount of suffering, dramatically increase their vulnerability, and lead individuals to a life of poverty. Many people are not aware and tend to discriminate against people with mental disorders. This discriminations leads to people having their human rights violated and them

Narcolepsy is defined as a lifelong neurological disorder of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep in which the affected individual has attacks of irresistible daytime sleepiness, cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness in response to emotional triggers like surprise, laughter, fright, or anger), hypnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis (Wiley). Cataplexy is one of the most common signs of narcolepsy and many investigators argue the presence of cataplexy is required to confirm a diagnosis of narcolepsy.

(Green & McDermott, 2014). Knowing all the neurological processes of the brain can explain how the brain process information from our environment (Rogers, 2016). First and foremost, neuroscience can help social workers to understand the role of the brain in human development and behavior. It gives social workers the knowledge of how the brain is formed before birth, how it functions in adulthood and how it contributes to the study of mental disorders (Eagan et al. 2011 pp. 270).
