About Psychopathology and Mental Health
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The page opens with the basics of abnormality. Two mind maps titled Psychopathology set out the definition of abnormality and deviation from social norms. Other maps and notes look at the failure to function adequately, statistical infrequency and ideal mental health, and the notes on the three definitions of abnormality cover both description and evaluation.
From there the page moves into specific conditions. You will find phobias, OCD, depression, schizophrenia, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and ADHD. The Mood Disorders mind map separates unipolar from bipolar conditions and lists Bipolar 1, Bipolar 2, Major Depressive Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder.
Where to start
- Begin with the definitions of abnormality mind maps to get the key terms in place.
- Move to the AQA Psychology- Psychopathology flashcards, which cover definitions and types of phobias.
- Choose one condition at a time. For OCD, read the notes on the biological approach to explaining OCD, then look at the OCD- Psychopathology Revision mind map.
- Finish with evaluation maps, such as the one on DSM and ICD and diagnosis, and the Rosenhan 1973 maps.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. The Phobias quiz and the quiz on the biological approach to explaining and treating OCD suit this well. Anything you miss tells you which branch to go back to. University students can try the Abnormal Psychology Final Exam quiz and the Chapter 15 quiz on therapies for psychological disorders.
Essay practice
For longer answers, the notes titled Outline and evaluate the biological approach to psychopathology and the AQA A Level 16-marker plans show how an answer can be structured. Teachers can use them as ready-made examples for a class.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Psychopathology and Treatment strand of Psychology. It looks at both how disorders are described and how they are explained and treated.
Open a mind map you like, and then try a quiz to see what has stuck.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Psychopathology mind maps on definitions of abnormality. They set out the key terms, including deviation from social norms, which later topics build on. Once those feel familiar, move to the AQA Psychology- Psychopathology flashcards and then choose a condition such as phobias or OCD.
Which conditions do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover phobias, OCD, depression, schizophrenia, bulimia nervosa and mood disorders, including unipolar and bipolar types. There are also evaluation maps on anorexia nervosa, DSM and ICD diagnosis, and the Rosenhan 1973 study, so you can go from description to criticism.
Which exams and levels do these resources suit?
The resources mention A-level Psychology, GCSE Psychology, AP Psychology and IB Psychology, including AQA, OCR and Edexcel A-level material. Many others are university abnormal psychology flashcards and quizzes. Check each resource's title and content to see whether it matches your course.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Is there anything for essay-style questions?
Yes. The notes Outline and evaluate the biological approach to psychopathology and Outline and Evaluate the Behaviourist Approach to Abnormality are written as essay answers. There are also 16-marker plans for AQA A Level Psychology, which show how an extended answer can be organised.
What if I cannot find my topic?
Look under a nearby heading first, because many topics appear in several formats, such as notes, flashcards and slide sets. If something is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz and keep it alongside the community resources.
