Module 1 Discussion |
When does behavior
become “abnormal”? Provide an example of behavior that may be
strange but not necessarily “abnormal”? Think of people you
know, but please do not mention any names (or relationships to you, if any).
Please post your
response by midnight on Thursday night, and post at least 2
additional responses to other posts by midnight next Sunday night.
I won’t enforce the Thursday night deadline during Module 1.
🙂
Please do not wait to get a textbook to start interacting within these discussions.
Discussion posts will never be accepted late. Even if you don’t have a
textbook, you should still do your best to interact within this area.

How far is this person from being diagnosable?
