Course overview
Abnormal Psychology examines patterns of behaviour, thought, and emotion that deviate from cultural and clinical norms. The course covers the classification of mental disorders, diagnostic criteria, and theoretical perspectives including biological, psychological, and sociocultural models. Students study conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and developmental disorders, alongside evidence-based treatment approaches like psychotherapy and medication. Emphasis is placed on stigma, cultural context, and the evolving definitions of mental health. By the end of the course, learners develop a nuanced understanding of psychopathology and its implications for individuals and society.
