Overview of Behavioral Disorders

Behavioral Disorders Meaning in Urdu

یہ ایک نفسیاتی یا ذہنی بیماری ہے جو کہ بہت سے لوگوں کو متاثر کرتی ہے، حتی کہ یہ بہت بڑی تعداد میں بچوں کو بھی شکار بناتی ہے۔ یہ بیماری لاحق ہونے کی صورت میں مریض کے رویے میں بہت منفی تبدیلی آتی ہے جب کہ اعصاب پر بھی نہایت برے اثرات ظاہر ہوتے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ اس بیماری کے شکار افراد اپنی غلطی تسلیم کرنے کے بجائے دوسروں کو الزام دینا شروع کر دیتے ہیں اور ان کے لیے اپنے غصے کو کنٹرول کرنا نہایت مشکل ہو جاتا ہے۔ اس بیماری کا شکار افراد زیادہ دیر مایوس اور اداس بھی رہتے ہیں۔
