Manisha makes no trouble in class, but she has an emotional disorder. Describe the disorder she might have; indicate how her teacher would know that she has the disorder; and explain how it would be decided that her symptoms reflect a disorder, not a
normal emotional problem.
What will be an ideal response?
Manisha could have the disorder of withdrawn behavior. A teacher might easily overlook her problem, but would need to notice that this student seemed withdrawn, depressed, anxious, or friendless. Manisha's problem would be considered a disabling disorder if it interfered with her educational performance over a long period of time, and met the psychologist's criterion for severity.
