Chapter 12

So the last chapter we had to read and study was defining psychological disorders. We'll  after reading about some of the disorders they talked about the nature vs nurture and how those two things can effect someone which many cause an disorder. A lot of the disorders are treatable and don't have long lasting effects on the person. Then there are other disorders which people live with but they pretty control everything in that persons life which sometimes makes the person live unlivable. They also spoke about ADHD all the way to sexual disorders. I was shocked about how many disorders there are out there and how a lot of people live with the disorder their whole life or even sometimes grow out of it or sometimes even get some disorders later in life. I didn't realize how many thousands of people are effected by all different types of disorders from all around the world and also the United States.  Within this chapter they talk all about causes and impacts or the disorders also the treatments for the different disorders.  How this chapter relates to my everyday life is that I have a family member who is bio polar and also I found of the guy I'm seeing had ADHD as a child.  When it comes to my family member I now better understand the disorder and how it is treated and how difficult it is to live with thAt disease because of the mood swings and ups and downs. Then with ADHD I was joking with the guy I'm seeing and told him I believe you have ADHD because of the fact the variety of behaviors they talk about in the chapter totally fit him. Then he told me as a small child he was on medical when it and I totally believe he still has this disorder as a 30 year man. The closer to the end of this class we get the more I'm really starting to enjoy it and understand and relate the stuff I have learned to my everyday life.
