PSYC 210 Module Exam 1
1. Module Question: How do psychologists define mental disorders?:
Mental disorders are defined by psychologists as involving a
clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition,
emotion regulation, or behavior, which results in distress or
impaired functioning.
,2. What are the major concerns with "labeling" in
psychological disorders? How can these concerns be
addressed?:
Major concerns related to labeling include focusing on the disorder
rather than the individual and increasing stigma associated with the
condition. These concerns can be mitigated by employing person-first
language (e.g., "person with schizophrenia" rather than
"schizophrenic"), thereby emphasizing the person over the diagnosis.
3. Which of the teens below need to seek a clinical diagnosis
and treatment, and why?
a. Sandy is shy and prefers staying home, feeling anxious about
social interactions but content when alone.
b. Matt is shy like Sandy but consumes alcohol alone to cope
with loneliness and desires change.
c. Jennifer exhibits withdrawal, excessive sleepiness,
depressive thoughts including suicidal ideation as expressed in
her journals.
d. Drew is experiencing stress related to sports and school but is
using this time to reflect on life choices.
, Answer: Matt and Jennifer require clinical assessment and treatment,
with immediate intervention necessary for Jennifer due to risk factors
related to self-harm. Sandy and Drew may benefit from counseling to
support life transitions but do not currently meet the threshold for
clinical diagnosis.
4. Name one example mentioned in the module of someone in the
ancient world or middle ages focusing on psychological disorders.:
Hippocrates, a 5th-century B.C. Greek physician, who authored "The
Sacred Disease" on epilepsy, proposed the interconnectedness of
mental and physical disorders through the theory of the four humors.
5. In what year was DSM-5 published?: 2013
6. According to the DSM definition of "psychological disorder,"
which of the following helps to indicate whether symptoms
indicate a possible psychological disorder?
A. Clinically significant disturbance
B. Dysfunction underlying mental functioning
C. Significant distress
D. All of the above can be features of psychological disorders
