Words with Different Psychological Meanings

The words we use in our daily lives while having conversation with each other have different meanings. We use certain words commonly that have different meanings in dictionaries and have different interpretation (Danto, 2008, pp. 710-722). For instance friends while talking to each other refer at times refer mad, they may not mean it nor does that mean that a person is really mad. Mad in psychological terms is defined as a person who has abnormal behaviour or is insane and is not in truly in his senses. However in common usage of the word we may refer a person as mad who is not behaving normally or is creating naughtiness with a group of people he belongs to.

Another word that people commonly use is attitude. A person with a differentiated behaviour in his group is referred to as a person with a differing attitude.

Client in psychology is a term that clinicians use for those whom they think of psychosomatic disorders as trouble in living and receiving a treatment (Danto, 2008, pp. 710-722).

Coming to the age factor, the incidence of schizophrenia, it applies to both men and women on an equal footing with each other. But some kind of schizophrenia is more common in one type of unit. Intelligence also plays a key role in the development of schizophrenia, with a low ...
