Describe the difference between common fears and a phobia.

Part 2:

In a given situation, when an individual is faced with a potentially harmful situation, they may react by confronting the threat, escaping from it, or freezing in place (fight-flight-freeze response). Fear is actually part of our normal response to certain life stressors. It subsides when the cause is no longer present. We often adapt improving our coping skills.

Explain the difference between what was just described and a person whose behaviors would be considered dysfunctional or even related to an anxiety disorder.
Go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website and review the available information on suicide (Google: CDC Suicide Prevention). Describe the current definition of suicide. Explain the difference between completed suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation. Describe the gender and age differences in suicide and suicide attempts.

Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your text and course readings. Comment on the postings of at least two peers, and provide an analysis of each peer’s postings while also suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.
