Sometimes it`s normal to show these characteristics
sometimes its aceptable to show these characteristics. e.g. Stress, berevement
Therefore, these characteristics dont always equal mental illness,
Other reasons why we may display theses characteristics
someone may have just lost their job/marriage etc and they function like this for a reason
Therefore, we must look at the context and why they are behaving like they are
more measurable than other definitions
The GAF scales means we can measure abnormality and use this to compare it to others. the doctor can use scale to objectively to decide.
Therefore, this makes diagnosis more reliable and the doctor will be able to make the same diagnosis on same patient.
