Psychological Disorders: Medical vs. Psychological Models

Distressing, debilitating, and/or aberrant thoughts, feelings, and actions are all

signs of a psychological disease. Psychopathology is the study of psychological

problems, including their symptoms, etiology (causes), and treatment. The

simplest way to think about psychological illnesses is to characterize abnormal,

distressing, dysfunctional, and sometimes even hazardous to oneself or others

behaviors, thoughts, and interior sensations as indications of a disease. Such

emotions would be understandable. Your feelings would be abnormal, diverge

from the norm, and could indicate the presence of a psychiatric problem if you

were excessively depressed—to the point where you lost interest in things, had

difficulty eating or sleeping, felt completely worthless, and considered suicide.

On the 20th of January 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of

the United States in dreary weather in Washington, DC, while millions of

Americans and people around the world listened to and watched his inaugural

address. President Obama, unlike his post-Cold War predecessors, Trump supports

blatant economic and military protectionism, ostensibly in order to resuscitate the

US economy. Economic deterioration, an increase in crime and domestic security

issues, and the appearance of military capabilities of the United States

deteriorating.
TITLE OF THE PAPER3

Domestically, decades of economic stagnation and political upheavals in recent

years have highlighted more structural issues in the United States. While the

conclusion of the Cold War in the early 1990s sparked political optimism that

humanity was on the verge of achieving its long-awaited goal, Progress was made

in the hopes that the desire for democracy and human rights would grow

inexorably. The 9/11 terror attacks in the United States ushered in a new era in

American foreign and defense policy.

Trump's personality is shaped by a variety of events and influences throughout his

life. Journalists and biographers have long lamented their inability to elicit any

form of reflection or psychological commentary on Trump's life from him

(D'Antonio, 2015). Trump is constantly talking about himself, but never in terms of

a story. Instead, he boasts about his accomplishments or extols his superiority.

Strength, boldness, knowledge, and power are qualities he attributes to himself. He

has proven himself to be a victorious individual. He's never been defeated before.

He hasn't made a single blunder in his entire life. Trump never penetrates beneath

the surface, rarely travels back in time, and rarely projects far into the future. He

isn't reflective, retrospective, or anticipatory.

The main purpose of psychological biographies is to make sense of a person's life

from a psychological standpoint. As a result, the success or failure of a

psychological biography of Donald Trump is determined primarily by its ability to

promote a better, deeper, or more adequate understanding of Trump himself. A

psychological biography, on the other hand, may have the extra benefit of

suggesting a general insight, notion, or hypothesis, even to the point of informing

later empirical study and the further development of psychological theory.By

emphasizing Trump's status as an episodic man, I believe my psychological

biography of the 45th president of the United States (McAdams, 2020) points to

new directions for empirical study in personality and developmental psychology,

as well as maybe other fields. Even a person as psychologically distinctive as

Donald J. Trump's psychology can occasionally have consequences for

comprehending the psychology of many others.
