Failure to function adequately
Unpredictability - behaviour that you would not expect in the present circumstance (e.g. committing suicide after failing your exams)
There a 6 Criteria that an individual 'shoul' have if they want to be seen as normal
These 6 criteria are used to measure how well an individual can function in society
The more criteria a person has = more likely to be seen as 'normal'
