Abnormal behavior- this is a deviation from the healthy behaviors of a person. The action usually distorts the functions one was performing earlier before. Therefore, considering it a psychological disease, as it is a mental illness, (Dovidio, p.4). Psychological dysfunction- this is an individual’s associated with distress; usually a response not culturally expected. It can be an addiction to specific negative behavior, mostly drug abuse.
Psychological distress- is a condition which occurs as a result of not being able to cope with unpleasant feelings and experiences. Some people deal with the loss of a loved one differently and have difficulty continuing with their daily activities as they previously did.
Typical or unexpected cultural response-results after a cultural shock, where one does not accept the new culture and annoyance build up leading to a frustrated life. A life that is characterized by outbursts, over petty issues.
Question 2

Usually, there is a thorough examination of the patient. A psychologist takes a comparison, to be sure that a patient is suffering from a specific disease.
The method is efficient as it helps the patient, release what is stressing them. Massage helps in a mode of relaxation assisting patients to lose some tension in them
