The main theme of this question is to define abnormal behaviour in different ways OR how to distinguish abnormal behvaiour from Normal behaviour OR in how many an abnormal behaviour can be diagnosed.
The different ways in which abnormal behaviour can be defined are
1. Statistical Definition : Frequently occuring behaviour would be considered normal, and behaviour that is rare would be abnormal.
2. Social Norm Deviance Another way of defining Abnormal behviour is to see that something goes against the norms and standards of society in which the individual lives
3.Subjective discomfort
4.inability to function normally
define and explain all of the above in detail with examples
and in the last you will have to give the Final definition of abnormal behaviour.
