Assignment: Worksheet- Psychological Disorders
Overview
What do you think of when you read the term "mental disorder?" Do you envision someone who is acting wild and out of control, or a perpetually sad person who can't function? In reality, extremes such as these describe only a small fraction of people with psychological illnesses. Many affected people go through life with few others knowing of their condition and contribute to the world in much the same way as others.
