1. Do you have any symptoms of being obsessive – compulsive or depressed? What were they? Can you give an example? 2. How would you decide what is “normal” and what is a mental illness? 3. Do you think psychologists should concentrate more on helping people to increase their strengths (e.g. love or courage) or reduce their emotional disorders (e.g. depression), or do they go together? 4. How would you define mental illness? Is it a physical brain structure or just someone who acts or thinks differently than the rest of us, or something else? 5. When does a normal concern about something such as germs and washing your hands become an obsession or a compulsion? 6. Why does one person have a fear of heights and another does not? What things are you afraid of? How does it interfere with your life? 7. If we find more physical changes in the brains of schizophrenics or criminals with PET scans, how could that change our treatments?
