Psychological Disorder - ANS-A persistent, harmful behavior pattern that is deviant,
distressful, dangerous, and/or dysfunctional.
UMAD - ANS-Guidelines for classifying mental illness: unjustifiable, maladaptive,
atypical, disturbing.
Unjustifiable - ANS-There is no obvious reason for the behavior in question.
Maladaptive - ANS-The person is handling stress or conflict in a harmful way to
themselves or others.
Atypical - ANS-The behavior is not something the populous at large does to cope with
stress.
Disturbing - ANS-The behavior must be something the average person would find as a
disturbing action.
DSM-5 - ANS-Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. APA's system of
classifying psychological disorders.

key symptoms.
Comorbidity - ANS-The presence of two or more disorders simultaneously.
Dorthea Dix - ANS-A huge pioneer in mental health and reform for asylums and
institutions.
David Rosenhan - ANS-Did a study in which healthy patients were admitted to
psychiatric hospitals and diagnosed with schizophrenia; showed that once you are

to overcome in a mental health setting.
Stress - ANS-The one underlying factor that links the category of each disorder.

illnesses will then appear once the right type or level of stress from the environment
comes along to trigger the onset of mental illness symptoms.
