Explanation & Answer
Good evening,I hope you are having a great day. I am sending this message to inform you that I finished the homework which is attached as a Microsoft Word (.docx format) file and is entitled "Psychology Disorders Assignment".Since there were many diseases, I think what you wanted me to do is offer a brief presentation for each of them.I tried to include for each pathology a short description, symptoms and possible treatment. All the references I used are respected ones ( not Wikipedia and others like that haha ) like the DSM book, national institute of mental health lasted updated articles and other journals of known psychiatrists. I also spell checked it and it seems fine but I would recommend you to reach it once too to make sure I didn't miss anything.I also checked the content for plagiarism and there was no plagiarism found (as expected since I wrote every single phrase in the paper)I hope this is what you wanted, in case you need me to do any changes please don't hesitate to drop me a message. I will gladly help you anytime.PS: It was fun doing this homework !.

irrational fear of things that most of the time posses no danger. People with
