Maladaptive Behavior Case Study

Introduction

Maladaptive behavior alludes to sorts of conducts that repress an individual's capability to conform to specific scenarios. Some of the time, individuals who don't feel positive about facing the challenges that come their direction in life develops maladaptive conduct to lessen their anxiety (Rojahn et al. 2012). Unfortunately, this essentially never works out well. Staying away from scenarios on account of unreasonable reasons of fear might at first decrease anxiety, yet this shirking is simply that: it doesn't tackle the true issues. Inevitably, issues can come to be big to the point that the agony of escaping them is overwhelming. They can never again be disregarded. A normal type of maladaptive conduct is turning to liquor or sedates for shelter in place of attempting to address a challenge. Before all else, these substances make the impression for their abusers that they are breaking away their issues, however this is just a transitory relief. They are truly aggravating things much, and they risk falling into fixation. Some of these individuals might have an undiagnosed mental health condition, for example despondency, and this is alluded to as self-medication. Whatever the underlying reason, as time passes the harm brought on by the substance ill-use exceeds any profits that individuals showing this maladaptive conduct may be getting. These individuals frequently don't distinguish this. Unfortunately, when they escape their refusal they will recently be dependent on these substances (Willem et al. 2012).

James parents told us that he was really angry about our visit and was not willing to meet us. After some days when we visited again James finally agreed to meet us, During this meeting we came to know that James didn't speak much, not just because we were there, it was is usual behavior. During our discussion we noticed James biting his nails, shaking his legs, showing that he was uneasy. Overall, James was a polite boy and respected people. We got to know that he had no social life, from some years and very less activities. We also noticed that James was a bit aggressive possibly because of his problem; he reacted very quickly to things and started doing stuff that was not something that a normal person will do (Elizabeth, 2010).
