2. There are different extents as to how they both contribute towards sexual arousal. For instance, a person can be physically capable and in an environment to exploit that capability, yet psychologically can't due to damage in the brain used to help sexual motivation. In other ways, a person may experience difficulties engaging and performing sexual activities, yet have that sexual motivation lingering around in their head. 

3. I believe it does account for other variations as the textbook generalizes the theory of sexual response as part of human activity, not just towards a specific gender or sexual orientation. I believe the textbook was formatted in mentioning the different sexual orientations after the sexual response to show that it can be applied to them as well. I think the only difference would be who they execute those sexual activities with. 

4. I believe a limitation set for researching this theory would be the way there is no way to accurately measure the exact stages in the theory. This is because it would be different for everyone as people can act differently and exhibit other feelings/stages when behind closed doors, rather than participating in research or an experiment. 

2. I believe these tests have a spectrum in the validity they offer. If someone is being truthful and is able to answer the questions completely honestly, regardless of what any would think, then it can definitely be a valid test to see their type of personality. If someone doesn't agree or is not being honest to get a specific personality trait listed then the test wouldn't be as valid and would just be about who that person thinks they are not who they truly are. 

3. These tests wouldn't be reliable either as they may not give the same results every time. If a person is answering it about themselves, and then gives it to a couple of friends to answer about the same person, it is more likely that people will have different perspectives of the same person. So, being given the same test wouldn't necessarily get you the same results, making it nonreliable. 

4. I found the accuracy for me to be interesting. I've had a lot of dark times to get to know myself and to really know who I am so taking a test like this wasn't too bad as I was nonchalantly being as honest as I can be. I liked the little phrases describing me because of the way I just nodded and said "Yeah, pretty much". It was very accurate to the person I've become and have learned to love personally. 

5. So according to the test, my strengths would be open-mindedness and extraversion. This means I am very open to new experiences and curious about many things. Along with this, it describes me as very social and outgoing to meeting others. All would be accurate although I can personally say that my social spectrum does vary as I can get shy at times, however, for the most part, I can adapt and get comfortable in a new environment fairly quickly. 

6. My weakness would be conscientiousness and I was kind of neutral in the agreeableness and negative emotionality parts. I do agree with this to the extent of being disorganized. Getting organized and setting different routines is something I am actively working on as I tend to procrastinate a lot of things, like having a car wash pending for over a month. 

7. After talking and going over my results with a coworker I've grown close to in the past two years,  we can definitely agree with these results. It has been such a roller coaster becoming, and loving the person I am today, and to agree with a test that tells me my strengths and weaknesses is actually pretty awesome in my opinion. It did not cause any internal conflict or didn't make me question myself as I know the kind of person I am, and the person I am working to be.

1. The main diagnosis for this cause would be in the autism spectrum. This is seen in her progress in social interaction, as well as in her repetition of what other people say. 

2. One major symptom is the way she struggles to be in a social environment. People in the autism spectrum are more inclined to be alone and play by themselves as it is hard for them to engage in social interaction. Another symptom shown would be her overdependency as a 16-year-old to her mother, she is not able to independently support herself the way a normal 16-year-old could and constantly needs her mother to be there for her. 

3. I believe there is comorbidity present as it mentions her feeling really anxious in groups and in social environments. The case study also mentions how she physically manifests her anxiety through a rocking motion. Another way it could be manifested could be the way her constant physical outbursts are explained in the case study. 

 

Case 2: 

1.  I believe the diagnosis for this case study would be ADHD. ADHD is shown through the case study with Bart's inability to focus on tasks he is not interested in, such as school, and his constant distraction from video games to television. 

2. Some other symptoms of ADHD could be the mention of his interruptions in class. This shows how little interest he has in his academic role as a student and tried to distract himself and others even during lectures. It also mentions him missing family announcements and constantly daydreaming about television the night before. This shows his lack of being able to focus, causing him to fail in being present in what's happening around him. 

3. I don't believe there is comorbidity present in this case. There are no other signs of any other disorder I see throughout this study. 

1. I believe the main diagnosis would be major depressive disorder. This is because he is constantly showing signs of symptoms of this disorder and is continuously showing no motivation to be happy. 

2. Some symptoms I see are his constant feelings and remarks of unimportance and feeling lonely even though he has his friends around him. Another symptom would be his loss of energy and movement, alongside his underweight and slender posture. 

3. Not a personality disorder. 

4. I believe there is comorbidity present with dissociative amnesia. It states it is hard for him to elaborate on his detachable tail, and it is known to cause him many problems. Therefore I believe he has trouble recalling the story about his tail due to how traumatic it must've been.

Case 2. Nina Sayers

1. I believe the main diagnosis for this case would be schizophrenia. This is because of the hallucinations that have to do with her skin and the idea that her coworkers are after her.  

2. One of the symptoms, again, would be the hallucinations of seeing her skin fall apart or having feathers on her skin, and the audio hallucinations she claimed of having. Another would be the delusion of her coworker trying to take her spotlight and of another sleeping with the program director. She also displays symptoms of suicidal ideation with unexplained cuts on her skin.

3. Not a personality disorder. 

4. I believe there could be a little bit of comorbidity alongside depression. This is because her mom is very obsessive over her life and making her decisions and not allowing her to have much of a social life. This is also evident with her being underweight and having cuts on her skin that could be a result of suicidal ideation. 

Case 3. The Grinch

1. The diagnosis for this case would be antisocial personality disorder and depressed mood. This is accurate as it is mentioned in the case itself and the person is exhibiting all traits to go along it. 

2. The symptoms I see going along with antisocial personality disorder would be the way he ran away from the town after so much negativity and stayed alone for so long. He chooses not to socialize as he only remembers the bad times and now has a mindset of making everyone else just as miserable as he is. He shows his depressive mood disorder by remaining unhappy and having no motivation to socialize or actually live life. He also had a tough upbringing with people making fun of him at school, therefore making him have such a negative image of the outside world. 

3. The personality disorder described here would be in cluster b. This is because of the sense of not wanting to socialize due to past experiences.

4. The comorbidity present would be antisocial personality disorder and depressed mood. It is shown through being away from town and not having any form of relationship, causing him to be lonely.

Links to an external site.. This organization focuses on normalizing and providing mental health resources to those in Hispanic and Latino communities in different countries. People can become a member for different prices and it is free for students which can be very beneficial to them to be a part of. They also mention their mission to be able to provide a space for psychologists to be able to collaborate and work with each other on different research that is in progress and have the same mission. They also provide a list of physicians throughout their supported areas in different regions which can be beneficial to people seeking treatment and don't know where to go. 

The last reference I looked into was https://laopcenter.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1sucBhDgARIsAFoytUu2AS-WmyeU-myOectxWtNkdvwjdYCYK52M_4Agd8TWEBfOC9I29RgaAoIPEALw_wcB
Links to an external site.. This resource is very beneficial to people diagnosed with mental health and eating disorders. Offers multiple ways to treat patients including individualized, multi-disciplined, and therapeutic treatments for their mental health and eating disorder patients. This organization offers treatments for all types of mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, psychosis, postpartum depression, and much more. They also range in treatments for eating disorders such as anorexia, orthorexia, laxative abuse, bulimia, and more. They reach out as you are viewing their page which I think is very welcoming and have a way to verify insurance online to see if patients qualify for coverage. This resource seems to be very beneficial for any struggling, who would prefer outpatient care. They also provide 24-hour assistance for anyone needing help outside or past normal outpatient care hours.
