If you must use technical terminology, define them thoroughly. Some symptoms are extremely clearly stated in the DSM, while others may benefit from examples to describe the condition.

Part 2. List some of the deficits linked with the disorder (for example, lower academic or social functioning, family strife, and so on). o Cite at least one peer-reviewed journal publication.
