Essay

In order to determine whether someone is experiencing psychopathology,there are several criteria to consider.
A) Describe the four main criteria used to assess psychopathology (what questions do we ask to determine "abnormality"?).
B) Imagine that someone is depressed (i.e.,experiencing disordered emotions).For each of the four criteria used to determine abnormality,provide an example of how it is useful in assessing depression (i.e.,an example of when the criteria "works").
C) Some people hold the view that personal suffering should be the only criteria to diagnose disordered behavior.Would this strategy be effective at diagnosing all mental disorders? Explain whether this would work for someone with antisocial personality disorder.
