Respuesta :

The missing options are:

  1. The impact of labelling behaviours that may be a part of normal life as a mental illness.
  2. The categorical rather than dimensional model of psychopathology.
  3. How the diagnosis may be used in the legal system.
  4. The presence of new disorders diminishes the attention given to established disorders.

The correct answer is the first option.

  1. The impact of labelling behaviours that may be a part of normal life as a mental illness.

There are different editions of the DSM. What the manual considers a problem in some editions might not be in others. Also, what was not a problem, like binge eating it or premenstrual dysphoric, might be a disorder now.

The newest edition's problem for some psychologists is that some behaviours are normal, but the manual labels them as symptoms of a disorder. This leads to an overdiagnosis since it tags a healthy person with something normal that does not hinder the person from carrying on with their daily activities.

Thus, the overdiagnosis has an impact on the patient since the treatment is:

  • Not necessary
  • It affects mental health.
