Adolescent’s Behavior

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and select two of the criteria used for diagnosing psychological disorders. Consider why they are important in determining a child’s or adolescent’s behavioral issues. Post by Day 3 a description of the two criteria you selected. Then explain how these two characteristics are beneficial in determining whether a child or adolescent’s behavior is abnormal. Be specific and provide supporting evidence from the empirical literature. Support your Discussion with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
