Psych Disorders
Practice
The goal here is simple: we want to present psych disorders in scenarios that might make them more engaging and more human as you learn how to process from symptoms to disorder, and then on to treatment.
We are limited to AP Psychology here, so there is no pretense that you can go out and diagnose and treat psychological disorders. You can't! But, practicing using this tool might help you with this portion of the AP Exam.
You have two approaches here: 1) you can simply proceed along the linear path with the scenarios presented you, or 2) you can choose to practice scenarios within specific classes of disorders (like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders or Anxiety Disorders, for example).
Why Graphic Novel style images?
Great question! We wanted to bring a human element to bear, but keep it light at the same time. By using human images that obviously did not represent actual people, we were able to accomplish both goals.
