Module 3:  Discussion Forum - Neurological Disease

Identify and learn about a neurological disease that has a notable effect on behavior.

Instructions a)    Search and choose a specific medical condition that affects the brain and the person's behavior. It should be a disorder that can be misdiagnosed as a psychological disorder if physiological factors are not considered.  b)    Briefly discuss the illness selected and how it changes a person's behavior or personality. Please explain why you selected it. Also, include a paragraph describing how psychologists can differentiate these symptoms to conclude there may be a physiological component to consider when treating the patient.
