posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Anxiety disorders affect about 57
million Americans every year.
Dissociative

processes. They include dysthymia, major depressive disorder, and
bipolar disorder. Mood disorders affect about 30 million Americans
every year.
Schizophrenia
A serious psychological disorder marked by delusions, hallucinations,
loss of contact with reality, inappropriate affect, disorganized speech,
social withdrawal, and deterioration of adaptive behavior. About 3
million Americans have schizophrenia.
Personality
Disorder
A long-lasting but frequently less severe disorder characterized by
inflexible patterns of thinking, feeling, or relating to others that causes
problems in personal, social, and work situations. They are
characterized by odd or eccentric behavior, by dramatic or erratic
behavior, or by anxious or inhibited behavior. Two of the most
important personality disorders are borderline personality disorder

Disorder/Syndrome Description
Sexual Disorders
A variety of problems revolving around performing or enjoying sex.
Sexual dysfunctions include problems relating to loss of sexual desire,
sexual response or orgasm, and pain during sex.
Paraphilia
A sexual deviation where sexual arousal is obtained from a consistent
pattern of inappropriate responses to objects or people, and in which
the behaviors associated with the feelings are distressing and
dysfunctional.
Depression
When symptoms cause serious distress and negatively influence
physical, perceptual, social, and cognitive processes. Teens with
depression were often dismissed as being moody or difficult. About 11
percent of adolescents have a depressive disorder by age 18 according
to the National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A).
Depressed teens with coexisting (comorbid) disorders such as substance
abuse problems are less likely to respond to treatment for depression.
Studies focusing on conditions that frequently co-occur and how they
affect one another may lead to more targeted screening tools and
interventions. With medication, psychotherapy, or combined treatment,
most youth with depression can be effectively treated. Youth are more
likely to respond to treatment if they receive it early in the course of
their illness
