PSY 215 Module Three Activity Template Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Part One To use this template, you will first select one option from the list provided in the Module Three Activity Guidelines and Rubric. Address each of the rubric criteria listed below with a minimum of 3 to 5 sentences per bullet. Support your answers with a credible source when necessary. Describe the possible biological causes of your selection. I chose Stress , because I often go through stress a lot and tend to let stress bother me when I shouldn’t. Stress is a normal biological reaction to a potentially dangerous situation. When you encounter sudden stress, your brain floods your body with chemicals and hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. There are several  types of stress , for example: acute stress , episodic acute stress, and chronic stress. Acute Stress doesn’t normally do any harm Acute may be even be good for you. Stressful situations give your body and brain practice in developing the best response to future stressful situations. Episodic Acute Stress is when you have frequent episodes of acute stress, and Chronic Stress is when you have high-stress levels for an extended period of time, you have chronic stress . Describe the possible psychological causes of your selection. Psychological it can make you feel under lots of pressure. Face big changes in your life. Are worried about something. Don't have much or any control over the outcome of a situation. Have responsibilities that you find overwhelming. Don't have enough work, activities or change in your life. Describe the possible social and cultural causes of your selection. Some sources of social stress are social isolation, unhappy or difficult marriage or partnership, anxiety resulting from a significant change in one's life (e.g., death of spouse, retirement, and change in living status), socioeconomic disadvantage, as well as age, race, or sex discrimination. Culture stress is the stress that occurs when you change to a different way of living in a new culture. It is what you experience as you move beyond understanding the culture to making it your own so that you accept the customs, becoming comfortable and at home with them.   1
Part Two Next, from the list, you will select two options that are known to share symptomatology or behaviors. In a minimum of 3 to 5 sentences, explain the ways in which the behaviors associated with the disorders overlap and discuss the potential diagnostic challenges presented by the overlap. The two behavior that I chose that are known to share symptomatology are anxiety and  panic disorders  they have shared symptoms, which explains why you may confuse one with another. Both are marked by persistent or severe worry of real or imagined threats, and both produce physical symptoms. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are highly comorbid. A possible explanation is that they share four symptoms according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fourth Edition – Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The present study addressed the symptom overlap of people meeting DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for GAD, MDD, or both to investigate whether comorbidity might be explained by overlapping diagnostic criteria.
