Psychological Disorders

The psychological disorders (PD) outcomes concentrate on the actual abnormal functioning of the human psyche.

There are three psychological disorders outcomes:

PD1: Describe symptoms and prevalence of one disorder from two of the following groups: – anxiety disorders – affective disorders – eating disorders.
PD2: Analyse etiologies (in terms of biological, cognitive and/or sociocultural factors) of one disorder from two of the following groups: – anxiety disorders – affective disorders – eating disorders.
PD3: Discuss cultural and gender variations in prevalence of disorders.

Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.
