Write short note :Criteria of abnormal behaviour

Answer»
  • Abnormal behaviour is disturbing (socially unacceptable), distressing and maladaptive (self-defeating). 
  • There are three major criteria of abnormal behaviour:
  • Personal distress: Feeling very low or depressed on continuous basis. 
  • Deviance: Behaviour going against the laws or set social and statistical standards. 
  • Failure to function normally: Day-today functioning is impaired.
  • It is wrong to judge someone as being abnormal based on only one criterion. All above criteria need to be considered.
