In this long form lecture podcast, I cover the chapter on Psychological Disorders, often found near the end of an Introduction to Psychology course and text book. We are using “Psychology 2e” by openstax.org, a free e-book. I cover the definition of what a disorder is, as well as major categories, like anxiety, mood, schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc., see below for a detailed time stamp index of the topics covered.
