Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A psychological disorder is defined as any pattern of behavior that causes people significant distress, causes harm to themselves or others, or harms their ability to function in daily life. The other options, such as humors or stress syndrome, do not encompass the full definition of a psychological disorder. Adaptive behavior refers to behaviors that help individuals function effectively in their environment, which is not necessarily related to a psychological disorder.
