For centuries, people have believed myths and  misconceptions about psychological disorders and the people who suffer  from them. Modern psychological research has allowed us to correct some  of these misconceptions. As a result, many people have changed their  ideas about mental and emotional disorders. Think of a common  misconception you have observed in society or in your personal  experience. How could information from research be used to change  people’s views of psychological disorders? How can this information help  us to better understand people who experience mental and emotional  disorders?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe the misconception  you observed and discuss how information from research could be used to  change this misconception about psychological disorders and the people  who suffer from them. Be sure to include details from class materials,  readings, and research on psychological disorders to support your  discussion.
