Q & A

What triggered the 16-year-old child's fainting episodes?

The fainting episodes began after the child watched a biology class video of a frog dissection, which made them feel weak and led them to leave the classroom. Over time, the fainting episodes worsened.

Why did the school suspend the child?

The school suspended the child because the frequent fainting episodes in class, triggered by the sight or thought of blood, were disruptive to the learning environment.

What was the psychologist’s diagnosis for the child?

The psychologist diagnosed the child with a mental disorder known as blood phobia (hemophobia), which is classified as a specific phobia.

Why is blood phobia considered a mental disorder?

Blood phobia is considered a mental disorder because it meets three key criteria: psychological dysfunction, disturbance to oneself or others, and atypicality (statistically rare behavior).

What is psychological dysfunction in the context of mental disorders?

Psychological dysfunction refers to the failure of psychological functions such as emotions, behaviors, or cognition. In the case of the child, their emotional and behavioral responses to blood were impaired.

How does the child's blood phobia demonstrate psychological dysfunction?

The child’s blood phobia leads to dysfunctional behavior and emotions: instead of being able to stay focused in class, the sight or thought of blood causes them to faint, which is an abnormal reaction.

How does blood phobia interfere with the child’s daily life and relationships?

The blood phobia affects the child’s ability to learn and interact normally with peers, as fainting episodes prevent them from participating in class and social activities, causing disturbances.

What does 'atypical' mean in the context of mental disorders?

'Atypical' means that the behavior or condition is statistically rare in the general population. In this case, fainting at the sight of blood is not a common reaction, making blood phobia atypical.

The three criteria are: psychological dysfunction (failure of emotional, behavioral, or cognitive functions), disturbance to oneself or others, and atypicality (statistically uncommon behavior).

A normal emotional response to blood may involve mild discomfort or distress, but not extreme fear or fainting, as seen in cases of blood phobia.
