 * 1) Person suffers from **discomfort** more or less continuously. (Shows up as extreme anxiety, endless worry, or long periods of depression; feels something is wrong w/ his/her life more than the average person does)
 * 2) Person is behaving in a **bizarre** fashion. (Misinterprets what is going on or what others are doing/saying; afraid to go to work or school; frequently comes completely apart over minor things or sinks into a depression about them)
 * 3) Person is very **inefficient** and is therefore unable to perform their life roles properly.

Characteristics of Abnormal Behavior:
 * 1) **Inflexible** in their responses to almost everything (Ex: Shy, withdrawn man goes to a party and a few people are nice to him; instead, he thinks they only “feel sorry” for him)
