Answer

Hello Mimi,

Thank you for contacting the Argosy Online Library.

Are you searching for a specific article with the title "Why is determining abnormal behavior or mental disorder difficult?"  If so, I was unable to find one with that specific title.  If you provide more information about the article including publication title and date, I can do further searching for you.

If you are not looking for a specific title and you need to find any article on this topic, navigate to the library home page and enter your keywords into the Library Search bar near the bottom of the page. 

Here are a few suggestions for your keyword searches.

  • "mental disorder" AND diagnosis challenges
  • "mental illness" AND diagnosis
  • "personality disorder" AND diagnosis
  • mental disorder assessment

When your results appear, select the box to refine your results to Full-Text.
