psychological disorder- syndrome marked by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior
-unjustifiable, maladaptive, atypical, disturbing
Biopsychosocial model-
biological(evolution, individual genes, brain structure and chemistry)

psychological/cognitive(stress, trauma, learned helplessness, mood-related perceptions and memories)
-negative though patterns- global, internal
social-cultural/psychosocial (roles, expectations, definitions of normality and disorder)
-poor self concept, faulty thinking, disturbed interpersonal relationships
How are disorders classified?
DSM-5: diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders
-lists all disorders for possible diagnosis and includes criteria for diagnosing each one
-completely changed how we think about disorders
-disorders seen as defense mechanisms- we choose a disorder to deal with our environment/problems
Labeling advantages- appropriate treatment given, stimulates research on the disorder, payment of insurance since the person sees a professional
Labeling disadvantages- Rosenhan's study: labeling leads to the self-fulfilling prophecies of not being able to fit in fully with the rest of the society
Diathesis Stress Model- psychological disorders develop due to a combination of genetic vulnerability and risk factors in the environment
-diatheses: genetic factors, biological characteristics, psychological traits
