What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.

How to find acceleration in non uniform motion. Please give two ways
Olenka [21]

<u>The two ways to  find acceleration in non uniform motion are as follows:</u>

  • By Graphs
  • By Calculus

<u>Explanation:</u>

Non-uniform acceleration comprises the most common description of motion. Acceleration refers to the rate of changes of velocity per unit time. Basically, it implies that acceleration changes during motion. This variety can be communicated either as far as position (x) or time (t).

Accordingly, non-uniform acceleration motion can be carried out in 2 ways:

  • By Calculus
  • By graphs

Calculus analysis is general and accurate, but limited to the availability of speed and acceleration expressions. It is not always possible to get the expression of motion attributes in the form "x" or "t". On the other hand, the graphic method is not accurate enough, but it can be used accurately if the graphic has the correct shapes.

The use of calculations involves differentiation and integration. Integration enables evaluation of the expression of acceleration of speed and expression of movement at a distance. Similarly, differentiation allows us to evaluate expression of speed position and expression speed to acceleration.
