Responding to two discussion board questions wether you agree or disagree with their responses. You will have two different responses don't combine them. Can be two paragraphs long for each response. Example I agree with this response because x,y,z and then the same for second response. Question was "How do you know when someone is "abnormal?"

1. "Certain patterns of behavior and inner experience can easily be labeled as abnormal and clearly signify some kind of psychological disturbance" (15.1 What are Psychological Disorders?). There are different perspectives on what is considered abnormal as it depends on cultural beliefs and societal norms. However, the most appropriate definition of what makes someone "abnormal" is when an individual has beliefs and behaviors that suggest a psychological disorder. I think the information presented in the introduction clearly establishes how to identify abnormal behavior in individuals as it provides examples and detailed explanations. There are various aspects that need to be considered before labeling someone as abnormal or as suffering from a psychological disorder.

2. "Such beliefs in supernatural causes of mental illness are still held in some societies today". How to know when someone is abnormal is when there is atypical or something that is out of the ordinary. It consists of having an undesirable behavior and the result has its impairment that has to do with the individual's functioning. Abnormal behavior deviates from normal what is expected. Studies have shown that abnormal psychology is. Some people may get scared because they may not be aware of what abnormal can do or cause so sometimes its hard for them to process what is happening.
