WHERE THE LIMIT OF NORMALITY AND ABNORMALITY IN THE MIND BEGINS AND ENDS

Abstract

There are various factors that determine the concepts of normal and abnormal, and these are not constant factors. For this reason, it is debatable whether a definition is always valid for every society, for every person. Human behavior cannot be clearly separated into normal and abnormal. The duration and severity of these concepts also need to be clarified. A behavior can be considered abnormal to the extent that it deviates from the mean, lasts for a long time, and is severe. However, it is difficult to distinguish between normal and abnormal. Since no clear boundary can be drawn between them, it is not easy to answer the questions where normality begins and ends and where abnormality begins.
