From the Paper:
"Where do mood and personality disorders come from? Why do some people suffer from them, while others are never affected? What is the difference between a "mood disorder" and a "personality disorder?" What are some examples of each, and what are their symptoms? Mental disorders are experienced by just about 44 million Americans annually (MD2). They are among the most common conditions attacking the health of our country today. Even so, the average person knows very little about them."Sample of Sources Used:
