I found chapter 15, Psychological Disorders, to seem the most interesting. This is because psychological disorders include phobias, disorders such as OCD and ADD, alcohol or drug abuse, and many more. Most likely, everyone knows somebody who suffers from a psychological disorder so everyone can relate somehow to the chapter.
For example, my brother-in-law was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) once he returned from the war. PTSD happens when people experience or witness a traumatic event and can result in flashbacks, efforts to avoid places and thoughts, night terrors, and panic attacks. Reading about the disorder helps myself be more informed about his disorder.
There is also a section that covers depression which is helpful for college students to read since so many suicides and attempted suicides happen in college. I didn't know that the average person with major depression experiences five or six episodes over their lifetime. Also, that most episodes last six months to a year. The chapter provides helpful myths vs realities about suicide.
The last section I will talk about is Autistic and Attention-Deficit Disorders. This section is good to read because its recent and has been very controversial. There are many debates on if a child with A.D.D should be drugged or remain unmedicated. And why has there been such an increase in diagnoses for Autism and ADD?
Well, I could keep going on because there are a lot of other great sections in chapter 15 but I will let everyone figure that out for themselves.
I was also looking forward to this section, and after reading the section my interest is stimulated. It is crazy to think about how other people can have totally different views of the world. I could not imagine living with some of these disorders. It is nice to know however, that we have all sorts of resources to help us out these days.
