Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Abnormal presupposes some norm from which behavior deviates, but there is no definition of normal about
which people can all agree. Abnormal is also related to behavior that is deemed undesirable by society. Value
issues therefore always complicate the objective definition of disorders. What, exactly, comprises distress,
disability, or dysfunction is also difficult to define. In addition, definitions of abnormality vary not only with
culture, but over time.
