     Behavioral disorder is so common in this fast era that neither you nor I, no one is like who is not a prey of it. It is like a demand of the time. When you have to meet the pace of today's advanced world, it is no exception to show an abnormality in behavior and it is sudden enough for one to not get it. There are various kinds and types of behavioral disorders related to different age groups and fields. General symptoms, causes and expressions of which are about to be discussed next. Firstly, a video is given below which briefs the Psychology of Behavioral Disorders. 

 

Behavioral disorders in accordance with different age groups:

      Behavioral abnormality doesn't follow any age group. No matter what is your maturity level or how grown up you're, you are at the same risk to show behavioral disorder as a new born baby. Firstly, I'll make it very clear that maturity is nothing to do with age. Maturity is an experienced based quality. The quality and quantity of experiences decide how mature you gonna be at what age. Secondly, abnormality in behavior is an inborn thing in a way.

A new born:

Lets take the example of a new born baby to start with. As we see,  a new born baby behaves weirdly to get its needs met either it is hunger for milk or irritation of its diaper or need for some attention. Baby will cry for these purposes but there will be no tears. This phenomenon may be quoted as " The Crocodile Cry". So sometimes this sort of abnormal behavior is necessary to get our work done. But sometimes, this sort of abnormality may get unfavorable results. Its hard which way should be choose but a wise choice would be the selection of right place time and person to be normal with and let out whatever you feel or to be formal.

Teenagers (Age 13-19):

Similarly advancing toward teenage when our baby under consideration is not so grown up and mature yet but he/ she thinks he is. No exception, it is the demand of their age, young blood and hormonal changes you know. So the folks in this age group have small and confused mind sets. They have just stepped up in such a phase of life in which they start to meet people older than them. Not knowing that what elders have gone through to be there, they find them "cool" and start to idealize them. This cool may be in the sense of fantastic looks, good personal approach, money or social status. Instead of idealizing their efforts, they directly want to get the fruit which their idols have got after a lot of hard work and hard time. Usually in this age, people suffer from personality disorder, a kind of psychological disorder in which people adopt the SWAG of their idols by behaving like them and think that they have attained value of same measure their idols enjoy. As a result, they behave abnormally. they get irritated over useless things, they become more touchy sometimes ignorant to others etc.
    As this age group covers those years in which there are maximum hormonal changes and kids are likely to keep changing their habits with respect to time and their experiences, the description of this age group will be a little lengthy.

The other type of abnormal behavior shown by teens is about their maturity. As they have upgraded to the next level of their lives, they think that they are now wise enough to face the world. Actually, they ain't. There is a lot more for them to explore yet to get their minds developed enough.The abnormality they show is they want to do everything according to their own will. They don't bother any sort of interference in their  personal matters which are not personal at all actually. If you try to counsel them, they are more likely to yell at you rapidly. As a result of not having enough experience and a wise eye, they suffer later.

The third sort of abnormality is the start of their "Love Life".  Love is actually a mature thing because to afford a love life, you have to be stable both financially and mentally.Teens are not mentally stable at all but they think they are and as far as finance is concerned, I don't think they find it of any importance because they don't have any responsibility related to finance. In this way, all those promises to live together and die together are fake and are not long lasting but these things appear to be so attractive that one can't resist them. In fact, the love at this age is basically just attraction which is a side effect of over-fantasized literature or movies. This so called Love Life is not any abnormality itself as it is a demand of human nature. Men and women are made for each other's satisfaction. But its consequences are definitely abnormal. Teens are like way too possessive about their partners. At first, your partner appears to be like your whole universe in this age. Which leads teens not to pay attention on their future, career and productive ambitions. And there are many quarrels for girls too as the male nature of boys to get the most females and be dominant in the area start its expression.
       This is the age when most of the counselling is required. The traits which got developed during this time are very much likely to find its place somewhere in unconscious minds and to decide how a person will lead his life later. Teens must be handled with great care, proper affection, time and understanding. The most effective way is to be gentle without being frank. And the most important thing, never ever hurt their ego otherwise no matter if you are their greatest well wisher, they will hate you. To convince them, pretend like you believe they are absolutely correct but also keep injecting your views in their minds politely. This is the most recommended and safe psychological treatment. 

Youth (Age 20-26):

           Now the teen who has been the topic of our discussion has tasted some of the bitterness of life and is now its his/ her time for some real action. He/she is now able to make some difference if not on a larger scale then at least at personal level.  Fellows belonging to this age group are the most ambitious ones. They are the young and energetic one followed by time and abilities. They major focus of this age group is to bring a change to revolutionize the system. The young folks (age 20-22) don't have such mind sets yet. Most of them still have the aim of life to party hard all night but at that time most of them are developing those traits which will later express themselves as the generally marked specifications of this group which are mentioned earlier.

By this age of life, most people have developed most of their brains according to a survey and are all set to take the the wheels of nation under their control yet they lack some experience though but their spirit is quite appreciable. Youth have got a well understanding of life and what they have to do with it for desired results. So they just shook off the lame activities from their lives and start to do some work which will bring reward. Work may be in professional terms or to excel in studies. Abnormality in behavior comes when in the intoxication of their youth people become crazy about their work. Being passionate is good but being CRAZY is not so good as "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". The energy level and the craze keep them uncomfortable all the time which is good to pursue goals but some time this craze get so loaded that to set them in a fury to get all that they want over night which is not practically possible and this leads them to such a state that they become too career oriented to forget their families and other fun things. If you show some sympathy to them as you see they need some break, you'll find yourself at the target of a fire spitting dragon. As the youth is always looking for some platform to spit out all that tensions enclosed in their heads. But this is only the story of Good-Guys.

Coming toward the Bad-Guys which are not actually bad by nature but are astray from the right path. These are those who remain unfamiliar with the dark realities of life and keep making fun of it without preparing for the battle they have to fight to survive later. They are energetic too like the previous ones but the direction in which they utilize their energy is what which distinguishes them from previous ones. These are mostly found dancing hard in the clubs, racing fast on the roads, fighting in the dark streets and all. The people belonging to this category of this age group are more likely to become goons  thieves, robbers, drug dealers etc in minute cases and by chance if they survive the jails and prisons or rivals, they become gangsters, mafia men, smugglers etc in worst cases and neither of these has a good end. The behavioral disorder in this case is the whole case itself. It is quite abnormal to lead a life like a criminal because no mother gives birth to a child for such a future. This sort of behavior distinguishes them from normally behaving humans who are beneficial for society.

Adults (Age 27-47):

      Our youngster is now an adult, grown up enough to explain you all this so you may not have to face all those hardships he/she has to before approaching up to this level. His/her age now belong to that group which silently cares, yes sometimes not emotionally but in materialistic way but CARES! 
        After a person has lived his youth he enters in the most important age group of his life i.e adulthood. By the way, every age has its own significance but adulthood is important in the sense that it will decide that how a person has lived his life and what he has achieved in his life. By this time of life average people have experienced the highs and lows of life and are enjoying their mastery in the game called life if they have survived its stages successfully.

People in this age group are usually married, mature and responsible. Usually all of them have got married and are now ranked as parents. And actually being parents matter more than being  anything else. No matter how much successful you are in your person, if you can't take your whole race to achieve that level of success, it is all useless whatever you have achieved. The major focus of this age group is their young generation. The want to take their young ones to the next level. For this purpose, they try too hard to provide their children with the best either the education and etiquette or facilities and finance. All this is not easily affordable today so you have to work hard to make both ends meet. Moreover, there is still a spark of adulthood enlightened somewhere in the darkness inside which motivates an adult to carry on. In this hard time, adults usually forget that they also have a normal life, a family which need their time and attention and their sharing. And so usually remains too tired and busy in earning the status for its family that he approximately just gets apart of his family and so is not able to spend time with them.As a result, he fails. Fails in the sense that an adult does all this to save its family from the troubles he had to face but ultimately leads his family to those troubles. He is not spending enough time with his family, not guiding its infant properly causing him/her to behave abnormally, not counselling his/her teenager properly causing him/her to show behavioral disorders, not addressing his young boy/girl properly causing him/her to waste his/her youth. This is definitely a behavioral disorder. What else BEHAVIORAL DISORDER is?

It is doing something not according to the demand of the situation decided by a fresh and active mind but doing something as a result of an inappropriate decision taken by an overloaded brain. 

Oldies ( Age 48-60):

         (Google)

 I summed up the discussion about Behavioral Disorders above without touching the old age. It is because usually the studies end up at adulthood without moving toward old age. Usually it is seen that senior citizens are out of our minds despite of if they are our parents or whatever, they are found in old age homes. The major reason for this is their Disordered Behavior. When an adult gets old enough, to be almost useless for the family as he has spent all his life for the welfare of his family, working hard but not spending enough time with family, family gets used to of their this behavior which is not normal actually. So when they grow old, they have plenty of time to spend with their family and they want as much attention as a newborn but this time family is not ready to do this, as his children may be having their own family now and repeating what he did in his time.Oldies usually need proper care and attention but as the time has changed, their experience is ranked of no value and as a result they are not thought to be important enough to be asked about any important decision. Family wants to get rid of them and send them to old age homes finally to live their life in peace.

Results of Disordered Behavior:

      I hope now you would have got a good idea about what Behavioral Diorders result in. If not, I will highlight them for you as a summary.
      Abnormal behavior, in any age, can be devastating. It can kill the peace of life, leave you unsatisfied and kill the beauty of life. And despite of being so dangerous, it is so common to be practiced now a days that it is evident from the arguments above that the behavior we show today is not normal from any angle. This is not how human is programmed to work. Need of the hour is to understand it and start to analyze what our behaviors depict and what will be the ultimate result of it.

Possible tools and strategies against behavioral disorders:

Here is the video which can brief about some useful strategies and tools to overcome behavioral disorders:


Note:

The blog is highly non-specific about any society and I don't say that it'd be same everywhere. I have highlighted what I do observe in the society I live in. It can vary from region to region. But in general, it is true so far that everyone of us all over the world is behaving abnormally i.e not according to human's built-in nature.
