Abnormal Psychology

Abnormal psychology is the study of mental health conditions that affect how people think, feel, and behave in ways that are distressing or disruptive to their lives. It explores conditions like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and various mood and personality disorders. The goal is to understand these patterns, their causes, and how to treat them effectively. It recognizes that mental health exists on a spectrum, influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors, and aims to improve well-being through diagnosis, treatment, and support tailored to individual needs.
