Psychological disorders are defined by symptoms in all areas of functioning, including cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological domains. Symptoms in these areas collectively contribute to the diagnosis of psychological disorders.
If a psychological disorder is present, it may manifest through a variety of symptoms in different areas of functioning. For example, cognitive symptoms can include difficulties in thinking or concentrating, emotional symptoms can involve mood disturbances like excessive sadness or anxiety, behavioral symptoms may include changes in behavior patterns, and physiological symptoms can involve physical manifestations like changes in sleep patterns or appetite.
Therefore, all of the mentioned areas (cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological) are typically considered when assessing and diagnosing psychological disorders.
