What factors should a practitioner consider when assessing abnormal behaviour?

Abnormal behaviour is determined by considering the behaviour that violates the standards of society or any maladaptive and malfunction behaviours. A behaviour is seen as abnormal if it brings feelings of distress or discomfort to a person or it violates the norms of a society and causes inconvenience to others.

Examples of abnormal behaviour symptoms are having a temper, refusing to follow or adhere to rules and regulations or finding it difficult to handle frustration or being nervous. These range from anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders or disruptive behaviour disorders among others.
