Abnormal behavior

To understand what "abnormal" means, first consider "normal". Normal simply means average. People who behave normally are those who act and behave in an average, typical way. Statistically speaking, normal behavior is that which we would expect from the majority of people. Abnormal, therefore, refers to any behavior that is not typical. In the practice of psychology it has further come to mean mental illness.

A.b. - Personality functioning that is socially undesirable or that renders the individual unable to cope with day-to-day living. Also known as behavior disorder.

The realm between normal and abnormal behavior is a fine balance determined by a person's mental, physical and cultural being. If this is the case normal behavior can be defined by a person who fully functions within their society. Therefore a person who follows the rules and maintains a balance of existence may be considered normal. This creates a false perception of abnormal being limited to noncompliant behavior towards the social demands of ones environment. When in actuality abnormal behavior is an emotional state which causes one to act inappropriately.

It is also important to understand normal people sometimes display symptoms of abnormal behavior. A person may be nervous before a test and become jittery. This does not mean the person is suffering from a mental disorder. However, if this same person is nervous and decides not to avoid the test then this could be a sign of an abnormal behavioral problem. Sometimes the signs for both normal and abnormal behaviors are defined by a very thin line. This makes it difficult to diagnose if there is a faltering mental state attributing to the improper social act performed. When diagnosing a mental disorder it is important to look at the whole person and all the facts.
