Do you think Diane has a psychological disorder? Explain why or why not. DIANE is the only child of two professional parents. She did well in high school and had several close friends. However, her grades suffered when she got to college, and she spent one semester on probation before she graduated. While in college, she met Don, and the two married soon after graduation and had two children of their own. Diane and Don decided that she would stay home until the children were in school, since his job with a prestigious accounting firm would allow him to support the family. Three months ago, however, Don came home from work and announced that he had met another woman and was having an affair and that he had decided to leave Diane. The divorce proceeded quickly, and, while Diane retained custody of the children, she had to move to a smaller apartment. She began looking for work but found that it was difficult to find a job, and eventually took a job she disliked. Diane often finds herself thinking about how quickly her life has changed in the last few months. She becomes very sad and will sometimes lie in bed crying after the children are asleep. She finds herself eating a lot more than she used to, and sometimes, she has difficulty getting to sleep at night.

Hello, I have a heavy heart while answering this. In life having sudden change can greatly affect the chemistry in ones brains. As the previous operations and feeling of attachment to either a loved or a school begins to stretch out on this emotional playing field, if not dealt with proper counseling, or conditioning, it can leave emotional scarring. For example, you are running, and you fall, but you sustain great injuries, the injury and the accident came very suddenly with little time to react, as did the sudden life changes for Diane. I believe that Diane may suffer from great loads of depression, anxiety, and just an overall cloud of stress that like to hang on to each other. So what can commonly cause misdiagnoses is not that the person has a psychological disorder, but that they at risk of having one. Diane is at great risk of sustaining a psychological disorder if she does not get the proper care and release of her emotions. Any emotional or physical support can be greatly influencing, even if it takes a substantial amount of time.
