PSY 111: Introduction to Psychology Learning Unit 9: Assignment

references.

Imagine what it would be like to have that disorder. How would you think? How would you

behave? How would you interpret your surroundings? How would you feel?

In 1st person perspective, write a one page paper imagining what it would be like to have that

disorder.

• Use your creativity and imagination. The main point is to exhibit symptoms of the disorder and

how they may be played out in the real world.

▪ What would the first day of starting a new school be like for someone with

generalized anxiety disorder?

job.
