    phenomenon and explain why it occurs.
    10. Explain the different cognitive therapies that are used to reduce distress.

    SECTION D
    This section has two questions
    Mental health professionals have attempted to understand psychological disorders using
    different approaches through the ages. Today, we have sophisticated facilities and hospitals
    dedicated to the treatment of the mentally ill. While studying the history of psychological
    disorders it is interesting to note that some practices from ancient times are still in use. Take
    the case of Lakshmi and her daughter, Maya. Maya exhibits abnormal behaviours and
    Lakshmi believes that this is because of evil spirits that have possessed her. She has been
    taking her daughter to a self-proclaimed healer, who uses counter-magic and prayer to cure
    her. Stigma and lack of awareness prevents Lakshmi from using the modern facilities and
    hospitals that provide quality mental health care. On the other hand, when young Rita
    reported seeing people and hearing voices, mental health professionals at a modern facility
    were able to understand her hallucinations using a convergence of three approaches.
    Psychologists use official manuals like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
    Disorders – 5 th Edition (DSM-5) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) to
    indicate presence or absence of disorders. Today there is increased compassion for people
    who suffer from disorders and a lot of emphasis is placed on providing community care.
    11. Identify the method used by the healer to cure Maya’s illness. How does this theory
    from ancient times explain Maya’s treatment?
    12. Which approach do you think would best explain Rita’s treatment? How do you think
    DSM - 5 and ICD -10 help mental health professionals in indicating the presence or
    absence of disorders?
