EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE
For anyone that suffers from an emotional disturbance, there is no definite cause for it. Researchers have tried to pin it to one certain cause, but it could occur from a variety of things such as stress, diet, or brain disorders. Some of the things that happen when you have emotional disturbance are;
'(A) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.
(B) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.
(C) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances.
(D) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
(E) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems."
