This is a Films for the Humanities and Sciences video that I am making available to my Psych 1 students only.

Zack, who is 17 years old, is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. This video is relevant to DP9 as it demonstrates the struggles Zack faces in his life such as "shaking uncontrollably" and "hard to breathe" which are factors that would interfere with his daily life.
This video would not be an example of stress as he is experiencing unpleasant situations that cause him to feel distressed and are more severe. For example, when he was leaving his room to get food, this would make him very uncomfortable, finding himself running there and back.
Likewise, this would not be phobia either as he does not have an excessive fear of an object or situation rather he is avoiding certain places that cause him to panic and make him feel trapped

Some psychologists represent stress, anxiety and phobia on a continuum; when we feel stressed this may be with some anxiety. The left of the continuum represents the ability to manage effectively and function in everyday life. The right of the continuum represents not being able to manage effectively, becoming increasingly anxious and more
vulnerable to developing a mental health disorder.

I believe stress will be placed onto mental health problems/reacting because it is easily reversible and it is the normal type of stress.

○ Six months duration
○ Not caused by another disorder

Specific phobia can result in an individual experiencing fear or dread eve when they are forced to think about their phobic stimulus (the specific object or situation that produces the fear associated with a phobia); it is highly individualised but must interfere with daily functioning to be considered a specific phobia.

Anxiety: a state of arousal involving unpleasant feelings of uneasiness that something bad going to occurr.
Specific Phobia is a type of anxiety disorder that is categorised by excessive and disproportionate fear when encountering a particular stimulus. Fear is normal and rational, but fear in someone with specific phobia is typically out of proportion to the actual danger posed by the object or situation, and the individual will go to great lengths to avoid the object or situation because it causes significant anxiety and distress that interferes with everyday functioning.
Stress: Stress is the mental or physical tension which a person experiences when they have to adjust to a certain situation, but don't feel like they have the capacity to do so.
